Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday- Hip Hoppin’ in the 90’s


 
OK people out in the blogosphere this week on the Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday Blog Hop @ jenkehl.com it's all about the 90’s.  As I pondered on the many themes that I could use for this fabulous musical inspired post I started to think about what I was listening to in the 90’s…sadly enough…I was listening to a lot of…Hip Hop music!  I know if you were to look at me, you would not think that this little Korean chick was that street right?  Well…apparently I am because when I started to think about all of the old school Hip Hop and Rap that was popular in the 90’s it did not take me any time AT ALL to come up with a top five list…this is a very sad moment in my life people…moment of silence here…OK…the time to be silent is OVAH…we are going to bring out the bass here people…so get ready…here are my top five Hip Hop/RAP songs of the 90’s….

Salt N Peppa-What A Man-Yes…I remember dancing in the clubs to this song with my Friends inspired choice of clothing and chunky heeled penny loafers…yeah…this is yet another fashion faux pas that I have to admit to EVERYONE out in the Blogoshphere!  YIKES!

Digital Underground-The Humpty Dance-So this was also a club favorite…and what is up with the dude with the big nose glasses?  I still don’t get that look…like at all…sheesh!

Gansters Paradise-Coolio-So the Movie Dangerous Minds was pretty good…and well this song makes me bob my head, crank my bass up, and get my dance on!

2Pac-California Love-This song reminds me of riding down to the beach in So Cal with my sun roof down…beats blaring…ah yeah…I am just that street yo!  HAHAHAAAA!

Ice Cube-Check You Self-This song is one of those songs that I remember being mixed into a lot of other House mixes at the clubs…what can I say…Ice Cube apparently loves the F* bomb…it is ALL over this song!

Bonus Pick: It’s Not Unusual-Dance by Carlton on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  I know that this is TOTALLY not rap or Hip Hop BUT this dance is just too Hilarious to NOT post!  HHAHHAHAHHAAA!

  1. Great choices to represent the hip hop/rap genre of the 90's. And I just posted a link to a montage of "Carlton dances" in response to a comment made last week on my own blog, LOL.

  4. I was going include 'Straight outta Compton' on my second '80s list... but lost my nerve lol.

    enjoyed the sampling of the genre here in your list. the coolest thing is that each of these Post become, effectively, samplers for a very wide range of tastes.

    1. HAHAHAHHHHHAAA!! I am SO NOT STREET but I lived around all of this Hip Hop Music that was being expertly mixed into some pretty good House Music in the 90's! I have to admit that I probably know WAY too much about this music because I used to go dancing every weekend with my friends...ahhh...the clubbin' days! Oh and yeah...I had to put that Carlton video on there just for grins...that dude with that dance CRACKS me up! ;)

  8. I don't know how Carlton danced like that with a straight face. I had to retake my dance video like 10 times yesterday because I kept laughing. i guess that's why he's famous and I'm not. Great list! SnP takes me back to lunch in college. Our dorm cafeteria had a giant screen tv and when The Price is Right was over they turned on MTV and SnP was ALWAYS on there. Great stuff!

    1. You are so brave to make a video...I coudn't even imagine myself trying to do that...I would be laughing so hard! I seriously wanted to put Push It on my list but that was in the 80's and I had to get my list down to 5 songs and THAT Is seriously SUPER hard for a music nut like me! ;)

  9. I would not have taken you for a serious NWA fan! You learn something new every day. Love that "What A Man" song...gotta go YouTube it right now! :)
