Cuban Linx 2 and The Fix were good shouts from Thomas as was the Wu's The W (underrated). Was defo GFK's decade, the most consistent output on the hip hop landscape. That said in more general rap terms Jigga defo took it and is huuuge at the moment. He also had a good output as well that just tended to see saw in quality: The blueprint, bp2, black album, kingdome come, american gangster and the bp3 lol Nice list very close to what mine would be.

I hate the Patriots but they got 3 Super Bowls so its their decade and in the hip-hop arena the only person coming close to GFK's CONSISTENT quality output is Kanye Ok, so its a tie: GhostFace Killa & Kanye Wifey put me onto Little Brother and their work is incredible but Ghost…GFK his shit is redunkulous – this was definitely his decade.
