What I am after- Lords of the Underground

Communism- Common

The Hop- A Tribe Called Quest

Smooth Operator- Big Daddy Kane

Slave- Black Moon

Hey I think these things change, but no doubt the Golden era of hiphop was the nurturing ground for the truest form of this artform we all love. Am glad I was raised that way.

Man, tha 90's was all dope but I'ma jus' mention a few:

Da Phelon ft. Joe Fatal - Pass The Kronz. (93')

Da Youngstaz - It'z Natural. (QBall remix) 93'

Black Moon - Who got the props (evil dee deadly remix) 93'

The B.U.M.S - Out house stunt (93')

DBC - Hit the boomz (93')

I randomly picked on 93' but the whole 90's was golden.
Fuck wit' me n' I'ma break u' skull, expose u' brains to reality/
jus' to make u' think outside that box u' call a head/

There's a reason why its called the golden age... Aqbar already mentioned it. I'm a soul brother so please pardon me if my selection is missing tracks like come clean! 1. Carmel city by Pete Rock and Cl smooth. 2. Passin me by... By the Pharcyde 3. I gave you power by Nas 4. Incarcerated scarfaces by Raekwon 5. I used to love her by Common.
