Thats what fucking shits me these days.
Hip Hop has been in a massive state of decline since around 2001. All the top artists are either fucking rubbish (Wayne, Souljah Boy LOL, 50 Cent, etc) or fucking fell off big time (Jay Z, Nas (sort of), DMX, Wu Tang). Autotune, shitty radio friendly clubby beats and very basic.
Rhyming schemes have almost ruined the genre for good.
Let me just say 94-95 had to be the best ever years for hip hop.
Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor And Dangerous
Notorious BIG - Ready To Die
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Nas - Illmatic
Wu Tang - 36 Chambers
AZ - Doe Or Die
Snoop - Doggystyke
Ahhhhhhh. Wish it was like that again

Most of the time you encounter rap fans who haven't even heard of the albums you listed, which is a major shame.
If Big L was around today, he would be so pissed off and disappointed with what the genre has become. It's sort of disheartening to see legends like Rakim fail to speak out against this current crap as well.
