That's a good list. How come Ras Kass didn't blow up? Like mainstream? He's a good lyricist.

Yup I can post random albums from the south on par or better than the commercial sh*t.


Second Idc for pre internet opinion media forced everybody else to be down with NY-LA bullsh*t..


As you can see ever since people been able to choose what they want the south has been dominant

King Am I said That's a good list. How come Ras Kass didn't blow up? Like mainstream? He's a good lyricist.

New York, they steadily hated on West Coast artists not really giving them much radio play and he wasnt death Row affiliated. Only Ice Cube was able push his music despite not being apart of death Row. So it was kinda the same with Rap City and Yo Mtv Raps. Ras Kass was talking some sh*t about the East on that album

93 and 98 are very close to 94 imo

Late 90s period. Fire!!

02 or 03

How can you post about 94 and Not mention Onyx?

94 was cool fam, but Fast forward into the future about two years later…because 1996 was on some other $h!t….and I’m talking not just albums but the entire scope of hip-hop…albums, underground radio, mixtapes, videos…for those that remember it ‘96 was a moment…sheeesh !!!….man oh man

GOAT year always gonna be 96, followed closely by 94...

88 was the GOAT year

1994? Didn’t even realize at the time all those gems were being made.
