Hip-hop might have been birthed in the ‘80s; however it wasn't until the ‘90s when the genre started to take off. It was an era of legends like Nas, the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, and more who earned their stripes as some of the best in the game. It even sparked an East Coast/West Coast beef among some of the greatest MCs. The sound of hip-hop today may be totally different then it was then, but many rappers give praises to the iconic MCs that came before them. From groups like the Wu-Tang Clan to A Tribe Called Quest, let’s look back at some of the top 25 hip-hop albums of the '90s era.
