God this era was so special
Best thing to come out of UK too
RnB 2011 to 2017
Shout out to Frank, Weeknd & Drake for revitalizing the genre for a whole new era when s*** was losing sales and falling off heavy due to the garbage late 2000s of edm club rnb & corny radio ballads that became a joke
New era West Coast 2009 to 2017
Already mentioned TDE itt but also shout out YG, Nipsey, Love Ranch, Dom Kennedy etc. etc.

Imma say the 90s since we got some of the best music classics oat during that era

2017-2019 Carti, AWGE, and Uzi was nice
getting high after school in skinny jeans and an ASAP guess tee
everyone in rap who was blowing up off classic mixtapes around 2011-2014 and made it big in the years ahead
If we're talking hip hop, my favorite era of the genre is 1994-1996
In terms of an era of the genre I've meaningfully lived through (i.e. was elementary school aged or older), I'd have to say 2010-2016
OF and ASAP movements from 2011 - 2014
Kanye x GOOD Music - 2007-2013
Drake’s come up to superstar - 2009-2015
Tumblr era in general 2011 - 2014
G-Unit/Aftermath/Dipset - 2002 - 2005
Wayne mixtape/Carter series 04 - 08
HM: Rise of Emo Rap - 2016 - 2018
