80s era hip hop or 90s era hip hop

Aaaahhhh! It's gotta be 90s for me man. I mean I guess you gravitate to your own era, what was formative, but there's just so many amazing classic 90s albums. I was gonna start listing but that would go on forever!

But just particularly think like outkast... Not just for being outkast but also there being a massive and amazing group (well duo) who weren't east coast or west coast??? That's like gamechanging!

And I think the UK scene was really getting going, I think roots manuva's first album is 90s???

Also I said I wasn't going to keep listing stuff and I'm not but the score is 90s??? That's gotta be one of the most popular albums of all time... Hip hop was so fucking Big but I don't think corporate control of it had realllllly set in yet (golden era tbh!) and I think it just had more popularity and punch than in the 80s???

Krs one said something like if you wanna understand hip hop, what you should do is listen to illmatic and then go back from there. And I think he might be right tbh.
