2002
Every time people argue “best year in Hip-Hop,” they jump straight to ’90s but 2002 was a great year. Shit one could argue it was the last year Hip-Hop felt balanced.
Every region had something real to offer.
NY was still dope, the West was doing its thing, the South was heating up, the Midwest was charting, the underground was thriving. It was the last time the game felt balanced.
I mean, think about the range of albums that dropped
The Eminem Show
The Fix
Lord Willin’
God Loves Ugly
Quality
There aren’t many years where the mainstream, the streets, and the underground all dropped heat without stepping on each other’s toes.
And don’t even get me started on the singles.
“Grindin’.”
That’s really the whole argument right there.
2002 was the last era where fun, weird, experimental, and street could all dominate radio at the same time.
Say what you want, but 2002 was fire.
