Comment:

I admit it, before I started to expand beyond what's on the radio I was big on Top 40 and pop-rap. I owned a cassingle of "The Sign" by Ace Of Base (and still think it's got a pretty great melody going for it). When I was 13 or so I put my clothes on backwards and lipsynched to Kriss Kross as part of a campground contest. I loved OPP when I was too naive to know what it was actually about, a fact I now find pretty hillarious. There are a few things I didn't think of until after the fact (Salt N Pepa, TLC, and/or En Vogue could have easily fit in, as could "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J), but I don't quite have the appetite to make a whole other 80 minute mix of this stuff just yet. If anyone else here is/has been willing to pull their early musical skeletons out of the closet here, I'd like to see the results.

I'm pretty sure the Proclaimers would only walk about half that, but nice mix. I loved that Young MC Album.

This is perfect representation of early 90's pop/rap radio.

You and I are about the same age. *Shakes head* I loved a lot of this stuff. I bought the Arrested Development album Tennesee is on and it's still amazing (My first Hip Hop album- a great first choice in hindsight)And Buffalo Stance is Buffalo Girls without the annoying stuff (like Malcolm bloody McClaren *grits teeth*)- gotta love that
