I personally believe era isn't a factor, there was good hip hop then and there is now. Still some really cool and interesting new groups like Death Grips around these days.
To me it really depends on the dynamics of the piece. Some songs are just composed in a way that they sound better acoustic, while other lose a lot of the complexity that makes them musically interested. I think it varies from song to song.

I would've given you at least 9 for both if they weren't so JPEG'd and ruined by that. If you still have them in their original states, may I suggest saving them as PNGs, they retain full quality.
Thanks, I do my best. And how I do it? Those betches aren't exactly the smartest folks you'll ever meet, either that, or they aren't very aware of who is around them. Either that, or they plain don't care, beats me.
