Nope. 90's was GOLDEN. Of course there were great hip-hop songs before then, I love rappers delight by the sugarhill gang which came in '79. But the 90's WAS hip hop. Don't fight it.
I know this isn't 90's, but I think most of Eminem's stuff is pretty good. If I had to list my favourite rappers, it would be; 1) Tupac/Eminem (It's a tie) 2) Kanye West (yes, I know, flame away...I just think his music is awesome. Great flow, great instrumentals, and great lyrics... The reason people don't like him is that he's a bit stuck up.) 3) Jay Z 4) Biggie Smalls This isn't a list of legends or anything, just who I like to listen to.
Kayne west became a sellout and he became T-Pain Jr but other than that the others are tight except eminems new album is wack

thats one of the things about hiphop you would never get - there are so many different styles and shit. different ages and different people, the combinations are all relative to the situation....here's an example with J Dilla. Or Mos Def - freestyling is the most fundamentaly of combination experimentation all songs are important in their own way
It's funny how you think you know the definition of gangsta rap, since 50 cent is the only rap artist you seem to know. You're like Rainman.
Yea... but in the end its just homies spitting beats about their bitchez in the ghetto eminem is the best freestyler
