Survey

So I have an odd survey. I am sitting around listening to the new Lonely Island album and there are a lot of really good hip hop/rap songs that remind me of the ridiculous rap songs of the past. I was trying to think of good rap songs from when we were in high school/college. All I can think of right now is the Big Tymers, a la Get Your Roll On. I had this huge playlist that somehow got lost in a hard drive reformat years ago and I am still trying to recover. Can anyone think of some classic rap songs from that era?

P.S. Everyone should get the new Lonely Island album, it is awesome! I am currently wearing a turtleneck and chain, sippin' on a light beer.

amanda, you rock

Leighton said...

Damn...Amanda just brought it:)

And haha @ Tipsy

Adam said...

Hahaha, that is awesome Amanda. Definitely jogged the old memory. I wish Time-Life would come out with a CD compilation of turn of the millennium rap music.

Amanda said...

Eh, I had an unfair advantage since those were my primo dancin' days. But thanks!

Also made a boo boo - Tipsy is by J-Kwon, Chingy does Right Thurrr (also a classic).

Jae, do you remember when we would sing "forgot about dre" by Dr. Dre and Eminem in high school. I think we pissed off a lot of people with our terrible talent.

Nick D said...

Ummm...ICP

Rory said...

I was waiting for Nick to throw some ICP in the mix.

Jae said...

dare i say that my music collection is still stuck at this same time period. including the icp

Nick D said...

I still have all the CD's if you want I can mail them up to you Adam.

Adam said...

I'll pass on the ICP. I never quite got into that... But I have a great playlist going now, thanks to Amanda. And Jae, isn't it funny how you get stuck in one era? We are getting old.
