Best gangsta rap artists of the 1990s

Hip-hop moved to the center and has not left. Grunge cleared out the arena rock standing in front of it. Dance music grew an audience that listened at home rather than in a club, while sample clearance got expensive enough that producers had to get sharper about what they took.
