I like all these...but are they really considered hip hop? The Chronic was part of the G-funk era sound, 2-pac might be looped into that as well.

Any list that doesn't have Illmatic is suspect.

Illmatic is in my top 10, but I have a bias against Nas for some reason.

The Golden Age is late 90s and early 00s in New Orleans
Posted on 11/16/16 at 2:50 am to GreatLakesTiger24
1991-92...only need two:
The Chronic
Doggystyle
But are Master P - Ghetto D & Juvenile - 400 Degrees the Nola equivalent a few yrs later?

Master P's Ghetto D was probably as big or bigger than those albums when it came out. But none of his stuff has aged well to me. I can't listen to it now. But The Chronic and Doggystyle still sound fresh.

Gangsta Rap from the late 80s and early 90s was tops.

The Chronic ended the "Golden Age" in 93.

You can't tell me Bourbons and Lacs off Ghetto D isn't always listenable.

not a bad list at all.
i'd probably swap enter the wu-tang for Gza's liquid swords.
also, although i love biggie, i just don't love ready to die... i'd swap it out for life after death or e1999 eternal by bone thugs.
