    Something from Biggie...and on a good night, Redman's Time 4 Sum Aksion.

    And for the bonus oh-shit-this-takes-me-all-the-way-back-to-last-week-when-the-dj-dropped-it-and-I-fronted-like-I-hadn't-heard-it-dropped-the-week-before-as-well moment, Blahzay Blahzay's Danger.

    I've never really heard the Styrenes. What's good to start with?

    You might want to replace Mass Appeal with Dwyck and maybe OC's Time's Up needs to be worked in there as well (maybe not though).

    Got the euro remix 12" too with the Fly as Pie mix. Real sure I haven't played either in 10 yrs.

    Nostalgia?


    7. 93 Til... WHY

    C'mon! I saw them do this live when they toured with tribe and de la when it just came out.


    Oh and Where's Del "No Need for Alarm" in all this?

    yep, i agree with the adds/edits except for "I Get Around". Not that its not a good song from the era, but it doesn't get near the spins as the other songs in that context, from what I've observed.

    I need a replacement for "I Get Around", bu I think Del, while stylistically and chronologically on point with the list, doesn't make it either. Maybe I've just been to the wrong shows.

    I swear I Get Around is a str8 sing-a-long.

    Yeah--huge with that crowd. Dudes who will insist with a straight face that it's Pac's best record.

    Common's Soul by the Pound Thump mix used to be up in that chili...but it seemed to have fallen out of favor at a certain point.

    Doh! #15, Common's "Ressurection". case closed.

    I know the "back to the auld school" attitude that we were talking about over in the '91 thread tends to glorify East Coast jams, but we should all be just as annoyed by people's responses to "What's My Name" "Nothin' But a "G" Thang" and "Regulators" as by their responses to The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)



    At this point, "G Thang" is one of the most playing-it-safe "old-school" selections on the face of the planet.

    If anything, "I Get Around" should be HIGHER, much. Maybe it's a Cali thing though.

    In contrast, I can't remember the last time I heard "Chief Rocka." Or "They Want EFX" for that matter. "Time's Up" was a good inclusion.

    And, um, I own all of those 12"s. Have doubles for probably near all of them too.

    How about "Just a Friend"? Or doe the Biz get a lifetime pass?
