Strictly from a Production standpoint, the 2000s are the Golden Age of Hip-Hop

Organized Noize was crazy in the 90s :wow:
What classic albums did they helm in the 2000s?

Never a fan of Three Six outside of a few beats here and there...
Like @hex already pointed out there work in the 90's far out weighs what they dropped after...but I can appreciate alot of their production in the early 2000's....especially this one....

I think Earthtone III did a fine job but you have to wonder how the rest of Outkast's discography would sound if Organized Noize did the whole thing.

You one of my favorite posters fam so don't take the following statement personal. This is just good fun and discussion but....

Don't nobody give a DAMN about them BORING ass DATED ass SLEEPY ass BOOM BAP beats. I'm sorry fam but I ain't bumpin no Q-Tip or Primo beat over Grindin or Hood Hop or early Kanye and Blaze joints. Excuse me if I don't want to fall asleep behind the wheel.

:whoa: Out of respect for you I won't shyt on Mobb Deep but don't push me. RZA fell off LONG ago. Dre is the obvious exception.

Yeah. 2000s beats>>>>>

Dilla is a 90's producer. Dude produced more from '95-2000 than he did in the entirety of his later solo career.

Alc and Madlib technically debuted in the 90's but we can let that slide.

I would put prime Dungeon Family (Organized Noize and Earthtone III) beats up against anything from the south 00's.

It's not that the 00's were wack....but it's being compared to a time when not only did every region have their own sound, every region was arguably at their peak.

26. Started listening to rap around '97-'98 through my uncle. Lot of Pac, lot of No Limit/Cash Money. Jay and X were on top. Dope era.
97/98 is basically when hip hop became watered down. Have you gone back and listened to the classics from the 80s and early 90s?

Majority of my all-time favorite Hip Hop albums dropped between '94 and '98. but I mess with certain early 90s albums (The Low End Theory, Geto Boys: We Can't Be Stopped, Death Certificate, Quik is The Name, The Chronic) and classic songs.

80's....ehhh not so much aside from NWA.
