Best Decade in HipHop?

One would think this is a question best answered by someone who'd be considered "Old Skool" or "True Skool" as I refer to it... BUT! If u consider urself a true student or even master of HipHop culture, no matter ur age u should be able to drop some science on the topic @ hand. And please understand, we're talkin' opinions here ppl.. We need 2 understand the difference between Fact..&...Opinion. The more we grasp that concept, it will become easier to avoid argument, & leave the table open 4 civilized discussion & debate.
Anyhoo, just 2 get the ball rollin' a lil bit, I jus wanna say I'm leanin towards the 90's as the best decade in HipHop so far... With the 80's @ a close 2nd. Bcuz let's face it, HipHop has lost its diversity since the 1980's! Back then we had The straight up rock the party crowd type of rappaz, the I'm da illest u can't rap betta than me type of rappaz, comedic rappaz, pro black rappaz, white rappaz, gangsta rappaz, nahmeen, all different type of rappaz n ish! Since then what do we got? Gangstaz, pimps n hustlaz? Honestly speaking the diversity is out there but has almost disappeared way beneath the surface. Negativity has been in demand 4 the most part y'all, as far as I can tell... That's my OPINION. What's YOUR opinion? We'd like 2 kno!
Peace & hair grease,
