1999-2000 was when I truly fell in love with Hip-Hop. And the man that convinced me was Jay-Z and the whole Def Jam 2000 roster

 

[terroristtim]

95-99

 

[kashino1]

88-98 cant decide

Yea, some gems mentioned in here.

I'll actually agree with Mossman and SEND ONE for once and say 88-89...

But then, 94 WAS dope...damn.
