[U.N.T.O.U.C.H.A.B.L.E.]

i go with the 80's cause that's what i grew up on but the 90's is a hair behind

1980-1990 (nwa, ice t),  1990-1995 (warren g, dr dre, snoop, cmw, coolio, thug life, gfunk)

[JohnnyL]

Voted for 1990-1995.  It was not only my favorite period for westcoast rap, but one of my favorite periods for music, in general.

[DJ Quik]

I Voted Fo 1990 - 1995 The Bst Era In Rap Hstry!

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

the way the list is made got to go with 90 to 95 yell

[Notorious818]

Have to go with 90-95. Just off of Deathrow alone. Chronic, Doggystlye, Dog Food, Murder Was The Case and Above the Rim soundtrack. All them are classics and even before Pac got there

[hom hom]

95/96 best years for hip hop (west & east)

[StevenQBosell]

95/96 best years for hip hop (west & east)

In general, yes indeed.

Voted gfunk era... although I would have made an 85-90 period aswell, (Straight outta, Eazy Duz It, No One Can Do it Better, that 1st ATL album... Ruthless and Dre had heat in the late 80's

[StrEiht Up Menace]

94-98
After Rhythamalism West Coast changed

Lol im listenin to 6 Ina tha mornin right now

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

90-95 no doubt. West coast wasn't really popping until N.W.A., which wasn't until late 80s. And mid 90s is when gangsta rap started getting repetitive and uninspired

[J$crILLa]

90-95. RAP PERIOD.


but 85-90 and 95-00 arent too bad either.

1985-2000 was a good 15 year run. its been down a steep hill since them. rap period.

i agree, except I push it up to 03, when Kokane released Dont Bite The Phunk. Dirty South used NBA mixtapes to exploit that new sound which is what we hear everywhere today
