Don't forget Doggystyle came out near the end of 93.

Golden age of hip hop for sure.

doggystyle (the album, not the actual..well anyway) is so freakin overrated. its nothing but an extension of the chronic and not a very good one

Really you should just say 88-95 were the golden years and end the discussion.

i guess i should focus on the word important more than better. i guess you really can't argue that 94 isn't better. my favorite from 94 btw is mobb deep. but anyway, i think the introduction of gangsta right to mainstream is totally underrated in this discussion.

Chronic is greatness, but Doggystyle does have Gin N Juice, Who Am I, Ain't No fun, etc.

In terms of popularizing "gangsta" rap, it has great importance.

Mobb Deep was sensational though, agree there.

I think you have to put '88 as more important, though. Kool G, BDK, Rakim, Biz Markie...these guys were huge influences on Wu, Nas and Biggie. They laid groundwork. Nas took it and ran with Illmatic.
