]]> Even though the style emerged in the late 70s, it wasn’t until the late 80s and the beginning of the 90s that rap became one of the most popular musical genres ever, producing timeless hits that inspire the music industry to this day.

Modern rap artists often use the distinctive 90s vibe in their songs or music videos, and rap fans, in general, bear nostalgic feelings for the era.

The story of rap begins in the ’70s, when DJ Kool Herc, who was also hip hop’s first DJ, started simple freestyle rapping at his home parties. Completely different than anything created before, the genre really took off in the ’90s in New York City, sweeping the music scene with its unique authenticity and successfully connecting old and new musical concepts in a way that hadn’t been heard before.

Here are the best rap tracks from the genre’s golden age.

10. It was a good day – Ice Cube

09. Gangsta’s Paradise – Coolio

08. Gin & Juice – Snoop Dogg

07. C.R.E.A.M – Wu-Tang Clan

06. The world is yours – Nas

05. Mind playing tricks on me – Geto Boys

]]> Remember the 90s? Regardless of whether you were around during that period or not, you probably know that those years were a pretty unusual time to be alive.

It was a period of history so distinctive and fascinating that is incomparable to any other before or after, and a turbulent ride that continues to inspire modern culture today.

The decade saw the rise of many new styles and a great evolution of the styles that dominated in the late 80s, making it one of the most musically fertile periods so far.

In the early 90s, grunge was sweeping the music scene, with bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana entering the mainstream with their raw, unpolished charm, but later into the decade, alternative rock took the lead.

But the 90s weren’t only the golden years of alt-rock (which is celebrated on our list today) – they also gave us some of the greatest artists in rap music ever. Starting with Dr. Dre’s The Chronic in 1992, rap music’s popularity skyrocketed, giving birth to remarkable rap artists like Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Notorious BIG and many more.

In case you need a reminder, here’s out 10 favorite rock albums of the decade.

Nevermind – Nirvana (1991)

Ten – Pearl Jam (1991)

In Utero – Nirvana (1993)

Blood Sugar Sex Magik – Red Hot Chili Peppers (1991)

Metallica – Metallica (1991)

OK Computer – Radiohead (1997)

Dookie – Green Day (1994)

Superunknown – Soundgarden (1994)

Siamese Dream – The Smashing Pumpkins (1993)

Dirt – Alice in Chains (1992)
