What was THAT year?

[5th Letter]

General consensus is that 96 was the goat year for hip hop. What was the goat year in different genres in your opinion? Could be movies, video games or whatever comes to mind?

I came to say this.

2020 was dope as fuck for me. Laid off getting 1000 dollars a week. I didnt cook my own food for MONTHS. i was investing in the stock market and that turned into way more money 2 years later.

Fucking ALL the time

Shit was just the best

I was a big wrestling fan back in the day and THAT year in wrestling has to be 1997. Between the NWO and crow Sting and the cruiser weights and DDP and the debut of Goldberg in WCW. In the WWE Steve Austin was rising, USA vs Canada and Bret’s heel run, Nation of Domination especially when The Rock joined and DX.

Belly came out in 1998, we went to the movies super deep after the homecoming game. Shit was lit

Most definitely 88. 96 comes in close but 88 was magical

At first when I saw 96 I questioned it because I've always thought 95 was the best year for HipHop. After looking at what came out in 96, I can understand why someone would pick that. But 95-96 as a two year combo was crazy. That's probably the first time in HipHop when you basically got people dropping serious heat from every region in the country.
