86-95 to me .............but im whack
97 was when all the rappers dressed as the color of the background in music videos
puff and mase did
so did missy elliot(fat missy was a G)
and Busta Rhymes did
and theres some more but i cant think of it
anyway ignore this post cuz its really off topic
80's definitely were good. Rakim, Run DMC, Beasties, LL and NWA made it the golden age (though NWA was fairly late 80's).
As much as I love the 80's... 90's just *****. Especially mid 90's.
90's had Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, 36 Chambers, Blackstar, all biggie albums, 7 day theory, Only Built for Cuban Linx, Supreme Clientele, Doggystyle, any of Too Short's first albums, and SSLP. And thats just off the top of my head.
edit:
BTW!!!! Busta was and always will be ridiculous. Ever since he came and wrecked with Scenario, to even his most recent track, Don't Touch Me Now (remix). He's always been nuts.
oh... and crazy busta rhymes will always be my favorite.
ROARRRR LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGONNNNN!!!!
