I consider the golden age of hip hop to run from at the earliest from 1989 to 1996. The rise of the Wu, ATCQ, Souls of Mischief, the Hiero crew, Big L, the Notorious B.I.G., and of course Nas during the early-to-mid 90's all represent a "golden age" to me, although I do believe the idea is a subjective one.
