Yoyoyoyo! Hip Hop!

Straight off the top of your dome! 
What's your favourite 3 hip hop jams of the 90's?
 
Here's some of mine (pretty hard to choose), in no particular order:
    

  

I don't like rap and or hip hop, so I guess it would be:

The only time I'll allow for the word 'Yo' is when Jesse says it on Breaking Bad.

• Jeru the Damaja - Come Clean
• Kid 'N Play - Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody
• Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth - They Reminisce Over You

Bam!

Just off the top of my head:

• A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

• Gang Starr - Mass Appeal
• Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest

I don't like rap and or hip hop, so I guess it would be:

•  
•  
•  

Unfortunately, I don't know 90's hip hop at all. Well, I know MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice, I guess, but I'm not gonna be an asshole.

1.) Still Don't Give a Fuck by Eminem

2.) What's the Difference by Dr. Dre

3.) Gimme the Loot by Notorious B.I.G.

I recognize that Company Flow is a bit obscure, they're an indie hip hop outfit from here in NY, but they're having a reunion show this Saturday, so it's on my mind.

The Del and Wu-Tang songs represent two of my favorites from that time period.

Geez only 3?   

Da Rockwilder, Memory Lane, and Protect Ya Neck are the first things that come to mind

Oh Christ. I have not listened to any of them since 98. That's a long time ago, but I remember being very pleased with it. It had a very early nineties feel when Hip-Hop was changing towards a different sound. Love hearing Ras Kass. He was easily my favorite lyricist out of the west coast.

This thread is great.

Three more favorites:

I love these threads. They bring me back to a different time when I was a very different person. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and most of these songs represent a different memory from my youth. We've had many of these threads before and each time it surprises me that Giant Bomb has such good taste when it comes to this particular type of music. I've seen threads like this on other boards and it gets filled with the usual Wu, BIG, Tupac, Snoop, but you hardly ever see this kind of stuff.

@uniform: well said. I was in a nostalgic mood already this week, and now thanks to this thread I find myself pulling up albums I haven't listened to in like 10 years.

not to start a flood of Wu tracks but this is a classic off of OB4CL.

Bam!

The only time I'll allow for the word 'Yo' is when Jesse says it on Breaking Bad.

More jokey answers (mocking my inner child), but I used to love this shit, and they still bring me back and make me :)
 

Some Canadiana (Toronto & Vancouver).
  

Not enough Hip Hop threads.

Too fucking hard too choose only 3 songs but i'll try...
 
  

Let's keep on keepin' on! Love all your posts! Trippin nostalgia balls!
  

  More on the pop-side, but nice though. Everything is nice on this thread. Let's all get supersoakers and shoot our ninja turtles figurines with them! Blargh!
  

Fuck Diddy, fuck Mace; fuck love, fuck hate!
