    skeelo - wish i was taller

    this blows up the room?

    yes, everytime lately, for sure.

    it's more rnb but that monica jawn Don't Take it Personal will do it too.

    also TLC waterfalls, and BBD poison. ..

    Can we include the late 80s as well? That really opens it up to some more sure shots.

    Within the 90s, I will include:

    Black Sheep "The Choice is Yours"

    They never NOT sing along with the part that goes "pick it up, pick it up, pick it up..."

    Secret Weapons? Do you means curveballs to the crowd or stuff that every dummy knows.

    with classics like

    Rob base and ez rock - takes two
    salt n peppa - push it


    I don't like to be picky usually. But, these are not 90's tracks...

    you know what im saying. Stuff from late 80s to 90s that get the house moving. Im looking for those forgotten classics. The shit that your like "damn i havent heard that in years". That "i gotta man" shit that dude posted in those videos is one of those tracks. I completely forgot bout that shit.

    not really there chief. I already have more then enough shit like this to work in my sets, like i already said, im just asking the soulstrut massive their take on this. My memory isnt that good so i forget a lot of good tunes that i have to be reminded of. Like just last night I was at this bistro type restaurant and some dude was butchering use me by bill withers with a midi guitar rig setup, and im like damn i forgot i even own that. Went home found the wax and threw it right in the crates. If you guys dont want to contribute to my query, cool. Its not like Im depending on this thread to build my sets. I get by just fine. Just want some opinions on some shit that i forgot in that whole pop tip of things. In the 80s and 90s i listened to PE, Run DMC, tribe and de la - native tongues shit. Not ima kamoze or dee lite. So if you guys want to throw out some names it would be appreciated. And im not talking bout the super common shit, more the one hit wonder shit. Like no hammer mentions or anymore vanilla ice.

    Who is your audience? Becky and them?
    Just sayin. Not all that stuff from the "90's" goes over well w/ all HipHop crowds.
  • TabaskoTabasko 1,357 Posts
    I think you mean shit like King Bee - Back by dope demand.
  • pjl2000xlpjl2000xl 1,795 Posts


    its more of a lounge then a club. Ive never played informer out, but shit in that vain. But the crowd can range from beckys, frat boys, executives, upper middle class ladies, hippies, college kids, on any given night. The place is great though, 40 foot bar, huge outdoor deck with bar and two levels, I like to bring a variety of music in case the crowd changes. I usally play a lot of jazzy funk stuff like jimmy smith root down, bill withers, booker t, to the funky 8 corners type shit. But i like to get in a real big variety of shit in Microwave so i got all my bases covered.
