I much prefer the older Hip Hop. It's all a bit commercial now.

a fine selection there. jay-z is COMPLETELY underated by the underground. big l obviously isnt, but is the fucking daddy

KMD were fucking deep, mf continues to be

i think 'golden era' is made too much of tho, it led to a lot of recycling and backwards looking in hip-hop, some of which was great (rawkus-era independent), some of which was not. but there was obviously some ridiculously good music made in this period

showbiz & ag - runaway slave
BDP
KRS
de la - is dead
buhloone mindstate (both so underrated)
organized konfusion (all of them)

and of course...

NAS - ILLMATIC

I am an old bastard as well:)
Man I love those artists as well bro. I also like alot of the new stuff - but there were some great moments in music back then.

I was just listening to Ice Cubes -"Amerikkkas Most Wanted" Last nite.

All the other acts mentioned in this thread are the ish in my book as well.

Some others that I dont think were mentioned that I love and loved are- Showbiz and AG, Black Sheep, Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, X Clan, Diamond D, Lord Finesse, Das Efx, Fushnickens, Lords Of the New School, N.W.A. , Digital Underground, Tha Alkoholiks, The Souls Of Mischief, Digable Planets,
Main Source - " Smashing Atoms" wow (Nas's debut!), Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap,
Schoolly D. Just Ice, Biz Markie, Damn I could go on forever- but i wont bore you all with that stuff.
