Title: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: Ash on December 30, 2008, 09:09:44 PM In the early 90's, I was heavy into rap.
I tricked out the stereo in my car (spent hundreds of dollars on subs and amps) to produce deep bass that you could feel in your teeth and chest. To say that I was an audiophile was an understatement. If God asked me to blast my all-time favorite rap song that, in my opinion, defined the 90's, it'd be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gK1e2TCFAA NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!! What would you blast?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icr0eW1fRSs Honestly, there's a whole selection of songs I could choose from. This one just popped up in my head though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-ldcnhsLY I was fascinated with Flava Flave for a short period after this came out because, as I was quick to point out to anyone who asked, "he wears a big mother****in' CLOCK!"

Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: JJ80 on January 01, 2009, 02:48:54 AM I'm not much of a rap fan but "U can't touch this" by MC Hammer was probably the first rap song that I actually found listenable.

I love "F-Da-Police" but I won't post it here. Heres another one...of course this is very much... NSFW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkPb4s0-QcI I seriously think Ice Cube had one of the most fierce voices in rap. Watching him in family comedies now just doesn't seem right. MC Ren was a bad ass too...aw hell they were all bad asses. Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: Mr. DS on January 01, 2009, 08:00:12 PM Another one I thought of...NSFW

Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: Mofo Rising on January 02, 2009, 03:00:26 AM Funny, I like rap, but I hate most mainstream rap. I really do not care about how much money so-and-so makes. I sure as hell don't care enough to listen to a whole song about it. I was glad when I discovered alternative hip-hop, where they sing about things other than bankrolls and what a bad ass the fake gangster "rhyming" is.
I do like that Mos Def, though. '90s rap? This song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfth8-TOTL8 You're lucky. I could have posted that Rumpshaker video. Oh wait, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKKONgfNONU Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: lester1/2jr on January 02, 2009, 01:25:39 PM without question
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yor-H6Fndjk DWYCK- gang starr w/ nice n smooth. I heard this song about 10,000 times when I was in college Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: HappyGilmore on January 02, 2009, 08:56:25 PM "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix A Lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41APzy5kqBU Sorry, but this song defined me in the '90s. Granted, I was like, 8 when it came out. But it helped me form a love for a certain thing. :wink: Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: Mr. DS on January 02, 2009, 09:18:20 PM Some may be NSFW

I'm of the ilk that thinks you can't spell crap without rap. But the rap I've tolerated include, Ice Ice Baby, Baby got Back, Fresh Prince, Momma said knock you out. That is about it.. Well the ones Weird Al did in parody are great.

I only really got into rap around 98-99, missed the boat slightly :bluesad: Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: lester1/2jr on January 06, 2009, 10:29:38 AM it was a great era. completely amazing albums were coming out every week.

Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: zombie no.one on January 06, 2009, 11:27:15 AM it was a great era. completely amazing albums were coming out every week. I remember hearing AZ's "suger hill" and thinking "yeah, it's over" the cheese had seeped back in hmm dunno about that I love that track, lol :teddyr: It is slightly more commercial than most tracks from back then though, fair enough I think it started to go properly downlhill when Puff Daddy/Bad Boy started coming out with real lightweight nonsense, and horrible shouty rappers like DMX and Xzibit appeared. can't stand them! Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: lester1/2jr on January 08, 2009, 04:09:06 PM " I love that track"
I don't even remember it now. here were some of my favorites of that era some or all of which I'm sure you know: 1 Artifacts- Between a Rock and a Hard PLace the whole album 2. KMD- what a niggy know 3. Redman- Green Island 4. alkoholics w/ ODB - hip hop drunkies 5. Audio Two- Top Billin 6. Schooly D pretty much anything. the guy was laughably bad on the mic but really pretty entertaining for some reason 7. cormega- any 8. capone n noriega, any 9 KRS One "the MC" 10. mobb deep - allustrius Title: Re: One Rap Song That Defined the 90's For You Post by: zombie no.one on January 12, 2009, 08:41:23 AM nice list, yeah I do have most of those... the Artifacts album is amazing
