This still is my favorite rap song and the song was, lyrically, put together extremely well. Ice is still my dude - he isn't a stupid ass.

If it ever had a boat.

So utterly false.

Mine: Late oughts through now. I didn't even really get passionately into hip hop until circa 2010 or so.

Top 5:

1. No Bird Sing
2. Aesop Rock / Hail Mary Mallon
3. dälek
4. EL-P / Run The Jewels
5. Scroobius Pip

I could name a slew of others...

I was a teenager during the "Golden Age" 1988-1994ish.

My favorite was KRS-One by far (before he went kinda loco), followed by Jeru, Rakim, Ice Cube and Large Professor, in no particular order.

Yeah, before NWA and the other "gangster" rappers there was T repping the entire state on a national level, and had all the bangers in LA trying to figure out his "affiliation". He really doesn't get the credit he deserves.
