    I could have gone either way on Straight Outta Compton or Public Enemy - Nation of Millions. Those are the 2 greatest albums of the time period in my estimation. I flipped a coin and went PE.

    It's sad to see how far the Da Raider have fallen in coolness...

    It's Tricky to try and pick one. I feel like Raising Hell is that start of Rap's best 10 year stretch- i.e., 1986- 96.

    @dnc said no B Boys. I tried to fight him on it but wasn't prepared to die on that hill.

    Straight Outta Compton launched the greatest era of rap, the greatest sub genre of rap (gangsta rap), and introduced two of raps greatest talents (Cube and Dre).

    Without straight outta Compton and the style and talents it brought to the world, there would be no Death Row Records and thus no Death No Defense.

    Eazy call.

    Eazy does it, DNC. I can see the rationale for N.W.A. being mor chinfluential than P.E. overall, but it's not a rather easily sort of thing. P.E. was the great leap forward if you will in term's of the stance of the music getting more political and angrier, while N.W.A. came along and upped the ante.

    3 Feet High and Rising - De La Soul
    90% of East Coast rap/hip hop sucks, IMO. But De La Soul kick ass.

    Also, this is the most predictable pole of all tim. Rich, old white people know of only one rap group from the 80's - NWA because the Feds tried to play moral police and shut them down.

    Who are some of the big name East Coast hip hop artists from the late 1980s and 90's that you would consider sucky?

    I'm not limiting that statement to 80's/90's, but Jay Z, Method Man, Public Enemy, WuTang, Nas (after his first album).

    Jay Z is female fan punching, racist piece of shit, pretty sure he killed people in real life too. He's my #1 suspect in the murder of Tupac. Normally I would set aside my personal feelings about an artist and try to vote impartially, but I'm going to vote that mother fucker down in every pole no matter who the competition is, until his ass is ded in the poles.
