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)
-
Voted for 1990-1995. It was not only my favorite period for westcoast rap, but one of my favorite periods for music, in general.
-
I Voted Fo 1990 - 1995 The Bst Era In Rap Hstry!
-
the way the list is made got to go with 90 to 95 yell
-
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
-
95/96 best years for hip hop (west & east)
-
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
-
94-98
After Rhythamalism West Coast changed
Lol im listenin to 6 Ina tha mornin right now
-
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
-
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

1995 was hip hop's best year. It was the year when everything intersected perfectly -- lyrical technique and skills, production, variety and ingenuity, artistic inspiration, big enough album budgets, radio supporting the right artistic characteristics rather than gimmicks and artists doing the same...but still hadn't quite crossed over into pop music. That started gradually throughout 96 until Pac and Big got shot, and then hip hop went totally pop to make amends for the killings and to put hip hop's "violent" past behind it by embracing wholly mainstream approaches to everything. And gradually, after that, hip hop got so big and so mainstream that the bubble burst and hip hop as a genre just popped (pun intended) like a balloon and fell down to earth where it is now -- dead on the ground for the most part.
1995, so I voted for 1990-1995.

I think West hip-hop hit its peak in 1996, but then those spate of albums that followed 2001 (in 1999) brought it back again to a certain extent. I like a lot of the 'new west' artists but they will never reach the heights of artists in the early-to-mid '90s.
