no. It was definitely shared between LA and NY. I'd also put Chicago with Atlanta and Houston for 04-06 when you had Lupe, Twista, Kanye come out with albums.
88 - NWA [ Biggest rap group ever far as impact/influence ]
90 - 92 - Cube was the best solo rapper out,LL could make an argument but it was clearly Cube time at the top.
92 - Dr dre Chronic and the birth of Death row Records
93 - Doggystyle by Snoop was way bigger than 36 chambers
It damn near sold a million the 1st week in that era !!!!!!
94 - Illmatic and Ready to die most definitely put the East back in power. But we still had the biggest singles on the chart with Regulate, Gin & Juice,Back in the day
95 - Dogg food,Me against the world,Coolio big hit
96 - All eyez on me and 7 day theory ate this year up like nothing ever seen before ! Plus Cube and the W/S connection went on a rampage as well
97 - was Biggie sophomore so it was NYC time again, Pac was gone and it we also got that classic Wu tang forever album.
98 - 00 Dmx,Jayz,Master P,Hot boyz,Puffy & Mase.
00 - 02 - Midwest time at the top,Eminem, Nelly,Bow wow,etc
03 - 05 - 50 cent,Gunit + Game era
06 - 07 ATL movie,T.i biggest years at the top.
08 - 12 Lil Wayne Carter 3 and Young Money Takeover.
13 - 17 Every region got a hot rapper but Drake and Kdot got the throne.

Absolutely do not agree. Maybe because you were out west, but the East was just as popular and had a major impact as the west for the majority of the nation in every last one of those years. I'll give you 93. But 94 and 95, the East was just as big as LA if not bigger. In 1995 alone, the biggest hip hop single was One More Chance. Other huge singles was Method Man and Mary J Blige.
98 and 99 was also shared between Cash Money and Ruff Ryders. 1997, I'm giving that to No-Limit and Bad Boy.

I'm not sure how you guys managed to completely skip over Tribe, De La Soul and Pete Rock.
Both really didn't dominate until 2000. You can make an argument for Roc-a-fella before from 98 on up. But that year and 99 was dominated by Cash Money and Ruff Ryders.

I didn't intentionally do that as I was pressed for time. I could have added more. My point was that LA didn't dominate that era as much as he think it did.
The thing with ATL rap is most of their "rappers" don't really have skill or talent. Anyone can be a rapper nowadays.
What era are you referring to? Currently, NYC is lacking skill, talent, exposure, marketability.
