Me Against the World came out in 95. And in 94-98 you're missing so many classics. And what about 1988 ?

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

Calm down with your exact dates bookyak... i'm talmbot in generalities

 

[Why-Fi]

88-92

most of the legends were all new artists at the same damn time

 

[Danie84]

Wu-Tang 93-97, should be there instead of Bad Boy

 

[Billy Ocean]

Wu-Tang 93-97, should be there instead of Bad Boy

Was about to post "why isn't Wu there?" The Wu's 93-97 stretch spawned as many classics and dope music as any in hip hop history. Huge omission.

I voted for the Death Row era but that's because i also remember that being the era of the East rising again. With Ready to Die Illmatic and Wu-Tang blowing they should share that era with the West. Cuz MATW didn't drop until 95 and it wasn't on Death Row. And Doggystyle didn't drop til the end of the year in 93. So the Death Row era should really be like 92-96. And the Roc-A-Fella era could stretch from 98 when Volume 2 dropped up until The College Dropout.

 

[Bugsmoran]

[Tuling]

Shady/Aftermath then Bad Boy Era

 

[Whitty Hutton]

One of the worst polls I've ever seen. Those singular record labels ran entire 3-4 year blocks to be have the era called their own? Who calls 94-98 the Bad Boy era?

Cash Money in the late 90s- early 00s shyts on the current Cash Money to me.

Late 90s is my favorite era but I wasn''t fukkin with Bad Boy (Cept Biggie) like that.

Its more because of Bone Thugs, Tupac, DJ Quik, Mystikal and dudes like that.
