Don't get it fukked up. Nicki had some good ears around. She's not up in the top ranks just simply bekuz of her looks
Strictly from a Production standpoint, the 2000s are the Golden Age of Hip-Hop

I disagree I think every decade has progressed...2010s got BANGERS beat-wise

It would be interesting to compile a list of the craziest beats from the 2000s.

That's an interesting opinion. Care to expound or provide examples?

I wouldn't say it "shyts on" but it is an argument worth entertaining. Also a lot of the producers op named got their start in the 90s. Interesting topic nonetheless
most of what people like about today's beats was done better & harder in the '80s.
just not as bouncy.
also most of the beats getting propped up in here from the current scene, lack that raw feel & energy. its hard to explain. you gotta feel it for yourself. in most cases, you had to kinda be there to get it.

Tech globalization surged in 2000's so unlike the 90's it wasn't just the cream rising to the top, but if you skim the bullshyt they're neck and neck imo

Engineering hasn't reached it's *'peak". Today's equipment lacks that Fatness that Sound and Sounds used to have
Organized Noize was crazy in the 90s
What classic albums did they helm in the 2000s?
Never a fan of Three Six outside of a few beats here and there...

he never panned out but his album had a few joints tho
.. his production team..the trackboyz or some shyt..their drum/percussion game was
they always had the medieval chants and shyt in the background...had me putting JKwon and Ebony Eyez songs on mixtapes

For producers, it was easier for cream to rise to the top since production equipment/software wasn't as available and there wasn't soundcloud/yt
It all depends on what you prefer. Me personally, I think 90s era production was better because I'm more of a fan of the rugged/lo-fi sound that was prevalent in the early-mid 90s. Not that the 2000s didn't have some bangers, but I'm just a bigger fan of the 90s sound.
