Top 5 MCs From Each Era of Hip Hop

[Goldie]

I saw in the Styles P/Dave East interview and the Fat Joe interview they had with Funk Flex, that they broke hip hop into 3 different eras.


What would be your top 5 in each era?



Era 1 = 80-92
Era 2 = 93 - 2002
Era 3 = 2003 - Now​

Interviews I was referencing

Too young to really pick from era one but 90-92 were good years.

For era 2, it's pretty easy, 94, 95, 98

Era 3 03, 05, 07, 15, 16
