Tumblr was on fire at this time. Dope s*** like the seapunk movement. Such diverse times stylistically, had OF, ASAP, MBDTF, WTT, TDE, and then weird fringe acts like Kreayshawn, Riff Raff, Lil B. Queens like Rihanna and LDR dominating. Dubstep and EDM bubbling. When OF blew up the whole internet was feeling that s*** and it sent a wave through pop culture and fashion. Whole culture peaked in this era and will never go higher.

Post more dust reminiscence from this era.

Classic era

nah, but i have a lot of nostalgia for that era

Name an era better

93-96

Yikes no

92’ to ‘96

2002-2007

Act like you were even around for that era breh...lies

Oh, I thought we were doing 3 years only.

If we can go beyond that then yeah i agree

if we talkin y2k era i agree it’s the modern hip hop golden age kinda

I need evidence

Out at Lana Del Rey thumbnail

You don’t remember all the classic albums from that timeframe

Whatever year Wayne rapped over "Show me what you got"

94 -97

Golden era

I'll take that over 2010-2013 too.

If you didn't link yonkers as the first video maybe I would have considered it

That was the BIG/Pac era. Most of the albums we hail as seminal classics come from this window in time, from Illmatic to Life After Death.

Kanye did release 3 classics during that time so ya

2010-13 is the GOAT just off the fact we got Frank Ocean out of that era.

It’s an overwhelming amount of music that can be posted from that era

Bro. Kanye sent a wave with MBDTF followed by WTT that was caught by OF and then dissipated slowly thereafter but had all of pop culture firing on all cylindersz

No point in throwing out GOAT for any specific era, even if this being mainly a hip hop board narrows it down significantly. I'll say that in 2011-13 it felt like people were trying to be creative and original in hip hop while now it feels like most people try to sound as homogenous as they can get away with.
