For a lot of music fans, 90's hip hop will never be topped. You had Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. cranking out hits. Artists like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Public Enemy, Nas, Mobb Deep, Outkast, Fugees and the Geto Boys were in their primes.
But as far as 22-year old Long Beach, California rapper Vince Staples is concerned, the 90's aren't that big of a deal.
"The 90's get a lot of credit. I don't really know why," Vince told Time. "Biggie and 2Pac, those were the staples of the 90's. That's why they get the golden era credit. There's not a 50 Cent in the 90's. Doesn't even have a Kanye. Jay Z's biggest song...his only number one happened a couple of years ago. The early 2000's is where it's at."
What do you think of Vince's comments?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A deputy was fired Wednesday after video showed him flipping a teen backward out of her desk and tossing her across a classroom, with the sheriff saying the officer did not follow proper procedures and training.
Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields was told of his firing late Wednesday morning, Sheriff Leon Lott said. Lott said he would not describe the now-former resource officer at Spring Valley High School as remorseful, but that Fields was sorry the incident happened and tried to do his job.
The student was being disruptive and refused to leave the classroom despite being told by a teacher and administrator to do so, Lott said, and that's when Fields was brought in Monday to remove her from the class. She again refused, and Fields told her she was under arrest, Lott said.
She continued to refuse, and video shows the deputy flipping the teen backward and then throwing her across the room. At that point, Lott said, Fields did not use proper procedure.
"I can tell you what he should not have done: He should not have thrown that student," Lott said during a news conference.
The agency's training unit looked at video of the incident and determined Fields did not follow proper training and procedure, the sheriff said.
Lott said he would not release Fields' personnel file, saying only that some complaints have been filed in the past against him, none of which came from the school district.
Court records show at least three complaints, though Fields prevailed in two of those cases.
Ben Fields
Trial is set for January in the case of an expelled student who claims Fields targeted blacks and falsely accused him of being a gang member in 2013. In another case, a federal jury sided with Fields after a black couple accused him of excessive force and battery during a noise complaint arrest in 2005. A third lawsuit, dismissed in 2009, involved a woman who accused him of battery and violating her rights during a 2006 arrest.
Calls for Fields to be fired began mounting almost immediately after the video surfaced, and the FBI began a federal civil rights investigation at Lott's request. The confrontation was captured on cellphones by students, one of whom said it all started when the girl pulled out her cellphone and refused her math teacher's attempt to take it away during class.
Lott had said Tuesday that the girl was uninjured in the confrontation but "may have had a rug burn." However, her attorney contradicted that.
"She now has a cast on her arm, she has neck and back injuries. She has a Band-Aid on her forehead where she suffered rug burn on her forehead," Columbia attorney Todd Rutherford told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.
The sheriff suspended Fields without pay Monday. Lott, who rushed home from an out of town conference when the news broke, said that a teacher and vice principal in the classroom at the time felt the officer acted appropriately.
Email, phone and text messages for Fields have not been returned.
More than a dozen parents and community members spoke out at a Tuesday night meeting of the Richland 2 School District. Some, black and white alike, said that the issue wasn't based on race and that the incident shows that teachers and administrators need to work harder on finding ways to handle defiant students.
Craig Conwell was angry, imploring board members to take action and saying Fields should have been fired immediately.
"If that was my daughter ... that officer being fired would be the least of his worries," Conwell said. "We are sick and tired of black women being abused. You can say it's not racist all you want to."
The deputy also arrested a second girl who verbally objected to his actions. Both girls were charged with disturbing schools and released to their parents. Their names were not officially released.
The second student, Niya Kenny, told WLTX-TV that she felt she had to say something. Doris Kenny said she's proud her daughter was "brave enough to speak out against what was going on."
Lott said the charges against the two students would not be dropped and would be dealt with at a later date. However, he commended the students who recorded the incident, saying he encouraged citizens to record authorities and bring it to his attention if they think something is wrong.
"I can't fix problems if I don't know about it," Lott said.
Sheriff's officials have stressed that the incident was not an issue of race. But a local NAACP official, who praised the Justice Department for investigating, said this was not something white students had to deal with.
"To be thrown out of her seat as she was thrown, and dumped on the floor ... I don't ever recall a female student who is not of color (being treated this way)," South Carolina's NAACP president, Lonnie Randolph Jr., said Tuesday.

The woman accusing Derrick Rose of gang raping her along with two of his friends is seeking $21.5 million in the lawsuit she's filed against the Chicago Bulls player, according to TMZ.
As we previously reported, the alleged victim, who is Rose's ex-girlfriend, claims that he, his manager Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen broke into her Los Angeles apartment and forced her into having sex, after previously drugging her at Rose's Beverly Hills home.
The incident occurred in 2013.
Rose admits to participating in group sex with the woman, but says it was consensual. He said that night wasn't the first time it happened.
The case is expected to go to court in 2017.

Joe Budden appeared on the latest "Tax Season" podcast on Tuesday, October 27th. Things quickly spun out of control when Taxstone asked him if he had an album coming out. The problem is, Joe's All Love Lost project had already been released nearly two weeks ago.
Joe refused to answer the question, presumably because Tax didn't know that.
At that point, Taxstone, throws professionalism out of the window and begins to insult the Slaughterhouse emcee.
"Yo, what is wrong with this dude son?" Taxstone says.
"Are you going to continue to scream in this way?" Joe asks.
"I'm asking you a question. What is wrong with you son?" Tax continues. "What the fuck is wrong with this nigga, son?."
At that point Joe decided to cut the interview short, but Taxstone continued ranting.
"This nigga's crazy, so let's end this shit," Tax says, finally agreeing with Joe on something. "I'm asking this nigga a fucking question. This nigga is retarded, son. What type of shit is this?"
Joe walks out, ending the interview. Watch the madness below.

Blac Chyna who?
That seems to be what Future is saying as he's made it clear that he's a single man. The only problem is Blac Chyna recently got the rapper's name inked on her hand, leading everyone to believe they were dating.
We clearly have some mixed signals here. It's too bad Chyna might not get the memo until she hops on social media. Check out Future's tweets and the reaction from Twitter. Tyga's baby mama is going to have a hard time living this one down.

Wale did more than stir up trouble with Meek Mill during his interview with The Breakfast Club last week. He also raised eyebrows when he mentioned that artists like Sam Smith and Frank Ocean got career boosts because they were homosexual.
Wale says gay artists have an advantage in the music business (10:30)
“People are probably going to go bad on me for saying this, but it’s an advantage to be gay in this country right now, that’s just the fact of the matter,” he said. "Frank Ocean is very, very dope. He got pushed to the moon when he dropped his album though.He got the Grammy joint, everything. There's about 30 artists in the country that sold what he did or more. They didn't get to perform prime spots at the GRAMMYs. All these things happening for him. Do you think Miguel would be getting those looks? Not really. Ty Dolla $ign? Not really. People look at it like you a hero, you a pioneer.”
The Washington, D.C. rapper attempted to clarify his remarks when TMZ recently approached him about Frank Ocean and The GRAMMYs.
"I didn't say [he wouldn't have won]," Wale explained. "I said that he's extremely talented. And I know he would have got to where he's at. But I'm just saying he got there at an accelerated pace because of the situation. I'm not taking nothing away from Frank Ocean. Or nobody from the gay community, straight community or nothing. I'm just saying it was a unique situation and people could have profited from it, so it accelerated his position."

Charlamagne Tha God addressed comments Waka Flocka made about Caitlyn Jenner's transgender decision being "evil," and The Breakfast Club host said he's "all for somebody speaking their mind." Charlamagne added that he's also genuinely confused about the transgender lifestyle, and he added that it doesn't make him transphobic if he asks transgenders questions about their lifestyle.
The "Charlamagne and Friends" star continued on with the conversation by addressing a statement about people supporting transgenders, but not wanting their own children to take that path. Charlamagne then compared the situation to some Asian people not wanting their children to marry outside of their race to "keep their bloodline pure," a statement that will surely be debated.
Charlamagne then closed out the segment by saying, "I can't judge nobody for what they do, and the transgenders aren't hurting nobody. If they're hurting anyone, they're hurting themselves, because they have to deal with all the drama."
