I think golden age is when people are all trying out something new. So when hip hop first started poppin off with sugar hill and all that thats when the golden age started. So 80- to like early 90's. Illmatic was the album that brought attention to the ending of the golden age.

I believe the golden age in hip hop was mid 80s to early 90s. Well, as Adam said, people trying something new. People doing stuff you normaly wouldnt see and they are good at it.

i think maybe 85 - 90 when hip hop first really moved into mainstream and took over but was still original and dope. after that people started imitating each other and using cheap gimmicks, hip hop was always alive in the underground, and people like Wu-Tang, Big L etc came up in the 90's but i still think the golden age was over by that time because even Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers peaked at #8 on the rap/r&b charts (Raekwons OB4CL2 peaked at #2 last year), Nas Illmatic didn't reach platinum until 97 (although to be fair the fact it even went platinum or gold wouldn't happen today). i'm not saying chart positions decide what the golden age was i'm just saying before that you could have real hip hop be big in the mainstream and still be real hip hop. but even today you still find original and dope hip hop albums in the underground, just like you would in the 90's when most people these days will say they think the golden age is.

You can't find underground albums today like you would in the 90's. Thats stretching it a bit.

1. mid80s to mid90s 2. Real Hip Hop Music The end.
