Early 90s hip-hop was the golden era IMO. I did own blood of first album thought it was wicked.

Yeah, I loved that song, back in the day. It's a shame Jay-Z didn't keep making music like that. Then again, even he admits that his lyrics would be better, if he hadn't been seduced by the money and the fame he got from going Pop, rapping about champagne and wheel rims, like every other boring chart MC.
The first half of the '90s definately was the Golden Era for Hip hop. One of my Great Aunties died in '93, and left me 4 grand in her will, and I must've spent well over half of it on CDs (I switched to buying vinyl, in '95, after I bought my first turntables, and later started entering DJ battles, but that's another story), as I was buying a couple of albums every week without fail, between '93 and '95. Of course, back then, MTV was still allowing the good stuff to be played, and a good mate of mine used to record Yo! MTV Raps for me, every week, so I was always up on the latest stuff.
Anyway, I'll see your Original Flavor video, and raise you a Goats video:
