Do you have a favorite Hip Hop'ish song that you remember from your youth (teens/early 20ish)

My teens?
Last century.
Sugar Hill Gang

Eminem was pretty popular when I was 19, 20 and so. I don’t listen to hip hop much, but I always liked Eminem, some favourite songs I have are Rabbit Run, Sing for the Moment and Cleaning out My Closet.

I know he’s responsible for being iconic when it comes to firearms and violence and shit, but he did get pretty deep at times.

“You say Plugs One and Two are hippies; no, we’re not that’s pure plug bull!
Always pushin’ that we formed an image, there’s no need to lie,
When it comes to bein’ Plug One,
It’s just Me, Myself and I.”

I’m not a big fan of hip-hop, but I find anything really dirty to be entertaining as hell.
Preferably (nsfw) My Neck, My Back by Khia.
And anything by Trina. Especially (nsfw) Look Back At Me. XD

“Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me mirror what is wrong?
Can it be my de la clothes
Or is it just my de la song”

Salt n Pepa – Push it

@Vunessuh Sending the first one to my girlfriend. Thanks, ha!

Rumor has it that Trina was messing with Missy Elliot.

It was never my favorite, but it was the first time I’d heard anything like it.
It’s Like That – Run-DMC, self titled.

@jjmah It’s a great song and makes me horny, I must admit.

I’ve heard those rumors as well.

this one

I really, really dislike most rap/hip hop, but this song is an exception (from my late teens).

Paul Revere by The Beastie Boys
Awwww yeah

What @Mike_Hunt said.

From my youth? The first rap song I remember was Ringo by Lorne Greene.

I always like eminem still do. I second @Mike_Hunt with the beastie boys

Ice-T – Power
NWA – Straight Outta Compton

Both classic records from the late 80’s that I still listen to today.

One Night In Bangkok.

Actually, this is from before my time, but it’s been sampled so deftly, I’ll count it.

The Space Jam theme song…

Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now. We got a real jam going down. Welcome to the Space Jam

White Lines.

@tinyfaery Grandmaster Flash?

Yup.

Rapper’s Delight

I hate hip-hop but still love that song.

Jam On It – Newcleus
