Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Stevie B IS some hot ----. I didn't mention it because I'm making this cd for my friend (the stealthmode dj) and it's already common knowledge that Stevie B is bomb. I'm looking into some Wrecks in effect- rump shaker at the moment.

Hi-C- I'm not your puppet

We're not going for super hits, we're going for those songs that you would have never remembered unless they came up on this cd. O0

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Eazy E - Automobile

You dont have to front, on me BITCH!

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

I believe automobile only has a casio keyboard, and no 808. :-\

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

dirty homosexual.

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

oh ----, thats right...well, i mostly meant to mention Eazy E. He's gotta have some 808 songs.

I got something 808 for ya....Sir Mix Alot - Posse on Broadway, Swass, etc...

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

hah, jazzy jeff & fresh prince "you saw my blinker bitch" hahaha

Return of the mack is kind of out of place on that cd... good song for a old school dance song ;)

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

ahh yeah, I knew you were good for something.

Boyz in the hood is like the hardest 808 song there is, but it's borderline super hit.

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

WTF is 808? :1

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

"Nothing sounds quite like an 8 0 8" O0

I remember hooking the 808 up to the car and dropping bass while picking up my friends brother from school. O0


Note: I'm now getting into the Ice Cube-Really Doe after the perfection of my posse's on broadway suggested by Fook. :6

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Ah. Kinda what I figured.

Don't know the trademark soud but what about some Kurupt?

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Oh ----! Warren G. Regulate bitches. :P

And of course one of my favs: Shorty the Pimp <---------- Too Short :6

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Regulate is super hit. :-\


I'm trying to dig up some "principals office" by young mc. :6

We're looking for rap/dance from 92-96ish

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff - Summertime

Bel Biv Devoe - Poison, although that might be late 80's

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808

Tone Loc - Wild Thing ...oh and funky cold medina has some 808 action.

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Man I forgot about skeelo. That ---- ws a hit too.

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

I personally like mack daddy. Testerosa is the bizzomb, as well as "seattle wasn't bullshittin."

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

Haha. Downloading it right now. 8)

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

I don't know if it counts but some A Tribe Called Quest.

I'm Housin' by EPMD is a good song too.

Re: Rap of the 90's (JR High): A tribute to the 808
 

What about some tribe called quest from "Beats rhymes...." That cd is classic. Some Public Enemy "Can't do nothin'". Eric B and Rakim, it's a little older but nothing can touch Rakim. He's a god in my book. What about Biz or Digital Underground. :6 I'm preferably a east coast guy besides DIgital Underground. One things I know thats alittle newer is Goodie Mobs soul food. That ---- was it in basic training cause I had a bunch of GA and FL bro's in squad that knew all that stuff by heart. I miss those guys.
