2002 was the worst year in the history of hiphop.

no diss, but it sounds like youre from a backwoods town that's years behind on the fashion & trends.
Nah , cats/chicks weren't rocking Iverson jerseys up in NYC until 2001/2002.

Houston/Starks/Sprewell/Hill/Richmond/Jordon/Stackhouse/Penny Hardaway were the dominant jerseys you'd see over here.

:dahell:

majority of that list is mid-90s as all f*ck.

I think youre getting your timeframes mixed up




this was actually number one on the charts, yet this song is not ever mentioned at all, like that shyt was erased from history haha

2002 was pretty weak, but the past 7-8 years have been way worse. I won't even remember the exact year most of this stuff dropped. 2012,2015,2017 :yeshrug:....just one run-on period of music that will be forgotten in the past 50 year era
2012 was fire in music in general, and in hiphop we had
Nas - Life is good
Kendrick - Good Kid Maad City
Freddie Gibbs - BFK
Killer Mike - RAP music
School boy Q - Habits and Contradiction
Krit - Life from the underground
Big Boi - Vicious Lies..
Future - Astronaut Status and Pluto
Rapsody - Idea of beautiful

And a range of dope mixapes and underground shyt that I won't even care to list, since ya'll made your minds up.

Old heads stay hating on rap yet only listen to music that goes platinum, that's why everyone complains about hiphop yet all they do is stay in Drake threads. There's like 10-20 notable rap albums being dropped per month, but of course if it's not trending it didn't happen with the coli old heads. But then they look back in times and mention albums that didn't even peak in the top 50.

cosign the bolded word-4-word.
WORD-4-WORD.

but I disagree with 2002 being weak. the only real knock on it, is that it didn't have any unanimously great albums.
but that's kind of a wash, seeing how 2002 was the year that the crew mixtapes began to over-shadow the studio albums

also, i'd take 2002 over 2001.

most of these releases wouldn't make a dent in the early or mid 2000s, let alone the '80s or 90s.

this is prolly why the coli oldheads that you complain about, aren't impressed.

also, darn near every artist you listed is in the same age range or older than most of the elder posters on this site. so I don't see why the generation card is being pulled.

Seeing how LIG is one of Nas's best albums and got hard competition for album of the year, and all his other albums made a lot more than dents.
I'd say that you're an old head who is mad that his opinion is completely irrelevant, along with the rest of his age group :manny:

It's not about the age of the rapper, it's about the age that we live in. Dudes act like Vol 3 is better than 4:44. When in 1999 and 2000 Vol 3 and Dynasty did like 600k first week and got 4.5 mics in the source, in 2017 it would be called trash by old head trolls :mjlol:.

Old head revisionists, unless you're talking about the golden years 88-96, miss me with your fake ass history lessons.

You can even go on youtube right now and see people talking about 2012 on some "Classic shyt, hiphop was so much better back then :to:"
In 5 years, the same bluffs will be saying that shyt about 2018. Like clockwork, they say.

2015 was pretty bad.
Whaaat? 2015 is probably the best year of the decade for hip hop. To Pimp A Butterfly is one of the few true classic albums of the 2010s. Tetsuo and Youth? Summertime 06? The Good Fight? Compton? Documentary 2? Darkest Before Dawn? B4da$$? Deeply Rooted? DS2? There's too many great albums to even name

Maybe it was 2014 then. I remember there being a year where like no major player dropped anything.

2014 in hip hop music - Wikipedia

Looking at this it may have been 2014. Only Cole with FHD and maybe one of the Ross albums

the only irrelevant opinion is yours, seeing that youre a known culture-vulture.

and I hate to break it to you, but LIG wasn't poppin like that IRL. youre too stuck on the coli.
and 4:44 is force-fed garbage. I wouldn't have been surprised if jay-z had a stroke right after he dropped that album, cuz that's what he sounded like he was on the verge of having.
you bring up "the age we live in " argument, as if the youngs were really checkin for those albums. you cant even keep your talking points on the same track. SMH.
