    94 by a nose. 88 was more positive and conscious. 94 started too much of the crime syndicate mafioso dreams that got played out.

    I think 94 was more national and polished, 88 still was too regional. If youre an east coast guy youll probaby go 88

    Ghetto Boyz steered me to 88, it was almost a toss up before then.

    BDP disagrees.

    88 is the answer.

    The question is which year is more *important*, which I think might be a mistake on the part of the OP (as in, not his intent), because when it comes to importance in discussions of chronology, what came before is always technically more important what came afterwards. After all, it's the cause, it's the reason.

    If the discussion is about what year is *better*, that would probably yield more of a debate. It seems like that's what you guys are doing anyway, though.

    88 - RAP WENT MAINSTREAM
