From Henry Adaso, your Guide to Rap/Hip-Hop

Heads always point to the 90s as hip-hop's last moment of triumph. '94 to be exact. And with the likes of Biggie, Nas, Cube and Tribe all writing classics, how do you argue with that? You don't. The 90s was all that and a bag of chips. Take a moment and enjoy the tunes that defined hip-hop's finest era. Behold: the best albums of the 90s.

We tend to romanticize music eras. Remember how everyone had substance in the 90s? What about all the cool names of those 80s rappers? Man, those were the times. Idealized views of by gone eras aside, the 2000s had its share of highs amidst the commercialization of hip-hop. And this week, I've highlighted the very best hip-hop music of the 00s.
