Dream Warriors-My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style

DreamWarriors - Lootie

eazy e - real mutherfuckin Gs! <this track is classic!>

Eazy E- Easy Street (dope Soundtrack cut)

whats that pop goes the weasel track...

"pop goes the weasel, cuz the weasel goes pop" that song was tight when I was like 12

3rd Bass!
That was off their second album.
First one is a classic.

This was bound to happen (questioning one-hit wonder status, that is), but I gotta stand up for the Dream Warriors. They had some other hits ("Wash Your Face In My Sink" anyone?) especially here in Canada. Plus the album both of those tracks was on is a classic.

They were probably only a one hit wonder in the States I guess though. I was actually waiting for someone to mention Maestro Fresh Wes, "Let Your Backbone Slide," but again, up here he had more than one hit and that first album of his is a certified hip-hop classic (again, up here that is).

what about:
michie mee - victory

Again: one hit wonder? I always thought of Michie Mee's biggest hit as "Jamaican Funk."

Capital Tax-I cant believe it

special ed - i got it made
nice n smooth - sometimes i rhyme quick
snow - informer
j.j. fad - supersonic
mc shy d - shake it
l'trimm - cars with the boom
young mc - bust a move
candyman - knockin the boots
positive k - i got a man

Special Ed-The Bush

"victory" was the only song of her's that i remember from back then. i don't know "jamaican funk".

oh, and special ed def had more than one hit. so did nice and smooth.

cars with the boom!

boo-yaa tribe - psychofunk

i didn't know ez = craig mack. i learn something everyday about this music. it never ends.



Damn..I feel stupid I didn't even read the full topic..Rabble your post definetly made sense. I thought it was just "HITS" and I was thinking.. " Huh? when was "MURDER RAP" ever a hit?". So being that we're talikng about any old skool hip hop . Here's a few of my fav..

World Renown- Come Take A Ride
Top Quality-Magnum Opus
Brand Nubian-Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down (Remix)
King Tee- Dippin
Kool G Rap-Ill Street Blues
Big Joe Krash-Break the Chain
LOTUG- Lord Jazz Hit Me One Time
Richie Rich-Sideshow
Doo Wop-The BounceMaster
Guru-Trust me
E-40-Practice Lookin Hard
The Coup-Dig It
..i could go on and on..

Please! I have it 12inch!

does anyboyd else consider Del the funky homosapien a one hit wonder? I do... its kinda sad...

Artifacts - wrong side of the tracks

K-Dee - Freshest MC in the World

Ah Man!

What about,

Run Dmc
Eric B & Rakim
Cybor Tron
A Tribe Called Quest
Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock
Positive K
Dead Prez
Blackstar
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
The Roots
Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five
Doug E. Fresh
And then some.

ha ha ha, this is a one hit wonders thread bro......... those ALL are more than one hit wonders (except positive k)

ryme is right.

souls of mischief - 93 til infinity.

ya I said it, who wants to argue with me that they aren't a one hit wonder.

i believe your right there blisk (with a tear in my eye)

Dels' second album is chock full o hits! There is no way he is a one hit wonder! His new shit is about to drop too!


Some cool stuff here. But we need to dig a bit deeper in them crates fellas. Like This:
Dred Scott-Back in the Day
Or howabout Kurious? "Walk Like a Duck" (whole album was kinda nice though)

AH! Fool, like 20 minutes ago I pulled out my og copy of 415in to record into serato and listened to that ish!

anyone mention:
the conscious daughters - funky expedition
no face - half



oh, and i was just thinking, damn i wish kid rock could have made this list. i'd much rather wonder what happened to the young man who recorded 'yodelin' in the valley' and was down w/too short than seeing him married to pammy lee. but now i'm just hatin.

I think this whole post is confusing.. In my eyes a One Hit WOnder is someone who has just one BIG hit that makes the pop charts. Example. Candyman-Knockin The Boots, Paperboy-Ditty,Ahmad-Back In The Day.

Honestly Del has never had a hit record so there's no way he could be a one hit wonder. Del has produced alot of "classic material" Maybe this is what you mean when you say " chock full of hits"? I'll just say classic material

415in was a decent album. I don't know if any of 415's cuts were actually hits (lifestyle of a gangsta, maybe?), but it was an OK listen.

I thought TCD's album was great...The Princess of Poetry, TCD is in the Front. But I think that funky expedition was really the only track that got air play though, so I think you may be right.

Ok, here's a couple more I think--

KMC Kru - The Devil Came Up to Michigan
RBL Posse - Don't Give Me No Bammer

Oh, and BWP - Tight (lol, that was one nasty cut)

Well, hiphop wasn't so pervasive in the pop culture back then, so in this case here, there has to be some duality, and the reason is just because it didn't take off on the pop charts doesn't mean it wasn't a hit in the hiphop culture.

Word. I remember "Mista Dobalina" being a "hit" back in the day. But I still don't consider Del a one-hit kind of dude.

Neither do I.

Alrighty then! Del had a hit with The Gorillaz a few years ago, let's not forget that. Clint Eastwood was pretty fruckin popular. Whateves.

N-Tyce-Hush Hush Tip.
RBL Posse was the Shit! That whole tape was bangin.

I agree. btw spair that mixtape you did with pone call "hits from the 80's" is one of my faves.

i don't really care about the definition of hit versus classic so much, i'm just enjoying the process of reaching back deep into my brain for some old jams.

where are you at osiris? the bay?

i got a hug from one of the conscious daughters after seeing them open for the coup a couple years ago. i honestly don't remember which one, but they were very gracious and just happy to be performing.

i agree that 415 was just a decent album.

speaking of no face, i know he's got lots of 'classic material' and that he's produced a ton of hits, but does anyone think it's fair to say that 45 king's '900 number' makes him a one hit wonder as a solo artist?

anyone remember cpo? or that blonde who had a single produced by dre? was her name terry b or something like? i just remember her horrible lyrics like, "i'm not black, i'm white, so believe the hype!" that got much play on yo! and cmc.

related to this, maybe it should be another thread, but does anyone have memories of hating now classic joints when they first came out. i won't front, here are some that i really disliked at first:
-o.p.p.
-they reminisce over you
-juice (know the ledge)
-i get around
-g thang
-it takes two
-backseat of my jeep
-just to get a rep
-method man
-player's club
-hypnotize

i can't believe i just admitted that.

I lived in the bay years ago. Moved to the east coast in 92, but back in those days IMP was the shit when they hit the streets with their first and very hard to find EP. Then you didn't hear from them for like 3 years until they released their 1st LP which I thought was dope.

I thought CPO was nice also. Some of my favorites cuts off their album--

Ballad of a Menace
CPOsis
Somethin' Like Dis

but the whole album was tight IMO.

Interesting that you guys are sayin Richie Rich (or 415) - Sideshow is his biggest hit. I woulda thought "Let's Ride" was his one hit (that was the SHIT when I was in 9th grade).

I guess a lot of this depends on your age/location as well. Different from those one-hit wonders that blew up no matter where you're from - like "Good Vibrations"

LOL! Respect for that one, man.

I'll move to the next point on your tangent...

I hated hypnotize too. It is still one of my least liked Biggie tunes. Also hated Keith Murray - The Most Beautifulest Thing In This World.

word to the keith murray hate. i never really got into him.

i really disliked hypnotize until i watched vinroc mix it into a dancehall set and juggle it at storyville in sf a few years ago. since then, i've been cool with it.

Really?! Hypnotize is one of my most favourite Biggie tracks.

franklinz break is tight.

fu-schnickens - breakdown

breakdown???

"La Smoove" or "True Fu Schnick" would have been their one hit wonder.

But since both were huge. They don't belong on this thread.

Ring the Alarm!(Best Fu Song)
Thanks Blisk, you beat me to it. Breakdown was some old post Shaq shit.

Shaq! theres a one hit wonder machine that will never rap again(I hope).

Ah yes,
Brotherhood Creed-Helluva Helluva.
Essential nostalgia.

AMG's whole album was bangin'.

Hey I know her!!!! She used to come over my crib earlier this year to do a few tracks with me. That's my homie! I thought people had forgot about her.

Oh, HELL yes! This one definitely brings me back! Good call Sheak.

Def Jef- Give it here
King Sun- On the Club tip
Threat- Nowhere to hide
Twin Hype- For those who like to groove
Doug Lazy- Let the rhythm pump
7A3- Coolin in Cali
Mr Lee- Get busy
Mc Brains-Oochie Coochie
Ron C- Funky Lyrics

Three Times Dope-Funky Divendends
West Coast Rap AllStars- We're all in the same gang
Nikki D- Daddy's little girl
X Clan- Funkin Lesson

Musto & Bones-Dangerous on the Dancefloor

"outstanding" was dope!

Why does everybody love AMG's "bitch betta have my money" so much?

I thought jiggaboo pie was wasy superior.

King Sun and 3 times Dope... almost forgot about those

others:

Royal Flush "iced down medallions" (late 90's though)
Boogie Boys - "Fly Girl"
Ed O.G. & the Bulldogs "I gotta have it"

Personally, my favorite off AMG's album was Vertical Joyride. Bangin'...





Boogie Boys had quite a few sweet jams back in the days-- "You Ain't Fresh", "Run It", "Girl Talk"... They were definitely one of my favs of that time.

Kid Frost-La Raza
Did this song ever get out of L.A.?

i've played it... i luv tha sample loop... hella laid back

the horns are dope on it.

i like tha bassline and drum loop... gots that cool like that shuffle

I don't think any place outside of Cali was feelin' this back then, but it was well recieved in the bay area, so my guess is that it got a lot of play all over Cali. Dope track though. He's been around for a long time--way back to the days of oldschool electro.

Kid Frost's son makes incredbile hip hop beats.

I liked it. So at least one person outside of Cali was feelin' it.

Well... I grew up in Cali and was living in the bay area when this track came out, so I really wouldn't consider myself an outsider. ;)

Most of my influences are from Cali.

hahah d:raf, it most def was. frost has this little plaque from rock star games, ackowledging him for being in the video game. and Frost was one of the main voices for one of the mexican gangster.

did somebody say ------ "many clouds of smoke" yet?

did somebody say total devastastion "many clouds of smoke" yet?

Yah, someone did. I have that 12" on green vinyl.

Afros-Kickin Afrolistics

epmd - crossover

U-Krew - If U Were Mine
Kyper - Tic Tac Toe
Candyman - Knockin Boots
Chubb Rock - Treat Me Right

Both had lots of hella-dope cuts back in the days.

Rick Astley and Eric Carmen FTW!!!!!

oops... epmd is NOT a one hit wonder, sorry. i just went down the line and bought every song, by the time i got to the bottom, i forgot what the original thread was.

Rick astley and Eric Carmen are not hip hip........sorry!!!!!!!

what's Hip Hip? Haha!

D-Nice- My Name Is D-Nice

The lyrics for that track were actually written a few years earlier. It was originally titled "D-Nice Rocks the House" and was a released on the "Boogie Down Productions - Man & His Music LP" in 1988. It had a different rhythm and flow, and D-Nice certainly sounds younger. I actually liked that older version better, but that's just me.

LOL^^^How about this one..."Bedrock" - Three Steps From Nowhere

Mellow Man Ace - Mentirosa
Perfect Gentleman - Ooh La La

Although alot of these artists' singles/albums got plenty of play in Cali while i was growing up......unfortunately my peeps in Arizona would consider these one-hit wonders:

Lighter Shade of Brown - Sunday Afternoon
Militia - Burn
Jay O'Felony - Watcha Gonna Do
Mister Grimm - Indo Smoke
The Whoridas - Shot Callin'
DJ Pooh & Kam - Whoop Whoop
Lady Of Rage - Afro Puffs
The Comrads - Homeboyz
South Central Cartel - "alot of beat sampling, jacking, and swapping '92 - '95 amongst the more popular W.C. rappers :-) "
Rodney O & Joe Cooley - But you dont hear me though
Above the Law - Pist

Accidently hit enter.

Let me continue

W.C. and the Madd Circle - WestUp
Dru Down - Pimp of the year
Badd Azz - :-)

yeah, i remember the days of the real 18+ clubs, listening to Theo on The Beat(lol) going to Florentine Gardens, The Palace, or Club Metro and just plain good ole Cali West Coast Music.

good tracks in here..
did anyone ever heard about a girl called silouette?

she had lyrics like "smokin shit like hippies in the sixties",a nice voice and i only heard her on a bizzare french mixtape..never found anything about her again

I fuckin love that song!!!

I have the whole albume by the way. straight dope west coast.

What was that Track "What Cha Want?" .. from Nine I think? Not sure if he had more hits.. or known songs.. I been looking for that

Scotty, 6 million ways to die-with Nine and a skinny Funk Master Flex

Anyone remember Jamal "fades em all"????

Rodney O & Joe Cooley??? One hit wonder??? Hardly...

-Everlasting Bass (a favorite among many classic hip hop tracks)
-Say Yeah Boy
-Get Ready to Roll
-Say it Loud
-This is for the Homies
-DJs & MCs
-Your Chance to Rock

Above the Law is another I wouldn't consider one hit wonders... Even though they did'nt have any really big hits in mainstream hip hop, they were around for a while and put out some bangin' tracks.

-Murder Rap
-VSOP
-Untouchables

I had Dr. Dre sign my copy of Livin Like Hustlers. I just happened to have it when he came up to give the man props!
Classic album thru and thru.

Spice One is more of a one or two hitter with "Welcome to the Ghetto" or "Trigger gots no heart"

spice one also had "187 proof" that track was the shit!

^^ got the Pete Rock remix of Jamal fades em all? Dope
Pete makes shit sound better than the og. Speakin of Pete:

Ini-Fakin Jax

^^^ Fakin Jax is Fresh! anyone know where to get the Nine "What Cha Want" on vinyl? I guess Mp3 will do to.

I got that Nine joint, not instrumental though.

blazah blazah - when the east is in the house(oh my god) danger.

who has the notorious INI album that never came out?

I do!

and my favorite "These Are My Beats"
www.discogs.com

members.aol.com

Militia - Burn

I consider this one of the earliest "stomp clap" beat songs.

And also Captain Save a Ho By E-40

Rodney O and Joe Cooley? Hell yeah!!!

Did anyone say Luniz-I got 5 on it???

can anyone id this song from around 88-89:
"I talk to myself,
Some people ask me why
Why, why, why
Do i talk to myself?"

Can't Get Enough Of Everlasting Bass!!!

Crazy - The Boyz
One Track Mind - Too Bad To Be True

"Stomp Clack" also called "C-Walking Beats" were way before this '98 track by Militia atleast for us folks in Cali.

Captain Save a Ho - "I wanna be saved" was a good one
and anything else by The Click - "Hurricane"

Correction on Militia..that single came out in '97 album dropped in '98

Also in '97 we were blessed with R&B Star
Rome - 'I belong to you'

Good Time - Trilogy
Soul Clap - Showbiz & AG
Be True to Yourself - 2nd II None
Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
Give It All You Got - AfroRican

Fu-Schnickens - La Schmoove

Someone should have renamed this discussion......

Reason being is I see a ALOT OF ARTISTS named in here as ONE HIT WONDERS who had multiple hits throughout this time period, come on people that's 10 YEARS.....

Mic Geranimo (more than one)

Run DMC (ONE HIT WONDERS, R U SERIOUS)

Eric B & Rakim (LIKE THE ABOVE, R U SERIOUS)

A Tribe Called Quest (Each album had more than ONE HIT)

OH AND E40 and EASY-E........U ALL ARE TRIPPIN!!!!

EASY E, easy-muthaf*c*in-e a one hit wonder, ya'll on C-R-A-C-K!!!!

E40 also not a ONE HIT WONDER......

Go back and do your homework people..............

excuse me? what tune was his one hit? del's been making quality music since i wish my brother george was here llooonnnngg ago. maybe not hits, but excellent music. all the shit he did with heiro, and ALL of his solo projects are badass. the force is strong with that one.

relax dude, most of these artists are NOT one hit wonders, they are more like older forgotten joints.

Their whole album was dope...

??? Not a one hit wonder!

or both ....:P

Christopher Williams - Talk to Myself

Also not a one hit wonder ;)

what a nerd lol

what about the classic - "ditty" by puff daddy?
also, "ain't no future in your frontin" by rodney O
or " i wish " by snoop dog

ghost ride the whip!

how about "computer magic" by zapp!
"let it whip" by gap band!!!!

i love the classics. i just want to get jiggy with it.

Correct Me if I am wrong, but "Ain't No fututre in youre frontin" is MC Breed?

i have a question seriously, who decides what's a hit and what isn't? there are many rappers that have been making really good shit for years, but haven't been hits. and i think that this is somehting that anyone can argue either way. as i am reading this page, there are a shitloads of songs that bring back memories, but most of them were not "hits" by the record chart's standards. i am a die-hard hip hop fan and have been for around 20 years so i remember(just like everyone else) all these songs. its all def. good music tho. peace.

ps e40 is NOT a one hit wonder ahhahahhahahahha

yes scotty. you are right.

yeah...andrew b
Aint no future in yo frontin - MC Breed
I wish - Skee-Lo

This thread sucks when most of the fucking people here don't know what a 1 hit wonder is.

Dre Day- Barry White
Puff Daddy- 93 til infinity!

Andrew B. You are joking right about Computer magic?(love)
And i wish by snop doog?
Every Hip Hop fan for 20 years I know, knows that these are blasphimous statements to be made!

Gap band had mad hits. MAD HITS


Fuck it,
Amadeus-Falco

what what

One hit wonder = Artist who only had "one" hit and then people wonder what happened to them. Correct me if I wrong.

Thus, many artist on this thread are invalid. One hit song does not validate an artist as a one hit wonder.

It's sad to see djs' who have all their facts mixed up.

i concur.

Queen Pen - Party aint a Party
Tracey Lee - Party Time

Wow Jinnai what an excellent statement, at least I know my facts unlike you and alot of other people here, how old are you anyway......8 yrs old, time to give daddy his computer back!

That's COLD-BLOODED.....


KARRSIN - I concur buddy, that's why I jumped into this discussion because that's what a One Hit Wonder is, and that's what more than half the artists in this thread are NOT!!!!!

I 2nd Sheak One on Gap Band and Computer Love......

what? eternal had lots of hits.

LoLoL!

Sounds like you got your songs from some P2P sources.

He had "Gotta get mine" with Pac too. Breed also had a song a few years back called "let's goto the club" (prod by Jazze Pha) that SHOULD have been a hit. If he was on a major label, it would have been. It definitely was a very strong midwest hit.

Nice & Smooth - "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow"

and if people are mentioning Falco then,

Billy Squire - "The Stroke"

Blondie - "Rapture"
"Eat up bars, where the people meet." LOL

Blondie??? What about Heart of Glass, One way or another....

Nice and Smooth have more cuts than that.

Allright, enough shuckin' and jivin'.

Who's gonna match me for some real shit. Let' stay on topic. Some of y'all are smokin' some shwag.

Joe Ski Love-Do the Pee Wee Herman

Ahhhhh The Peewee herman... Takin Me Back!

I know the topic is Late 80's Early 90's, but these are just a tad earlier:

Dimples D - Sucker DJ
The Fearless Four - Rockin' It
Tricky Tee - Johnny The Fox
Cybotron - Clear
The Jonzun Crew - Pack Jam
Twilight 22 - Electric Kingdom

"We can take it back to 85' if you wanna start actin like you live"

Kartoon Krew-Inspector Gadget

TAKE 5

"I LIKE THE WAY (U KISS ME)"

Apache - Gangsta B*tch

Skinny Boys - Stylin'

Diamond D- Stunts, Blunts, and Hip-Hop (one album wonder), but definitely made it big as just a producer.

How about Toddy Tee- "The Batteram"

my bad, got heated. haha. i just love del.

Jan Jan Jan

my bad, originally by Thundercat... I just cam in here late..

Did someone already say:

KMD - Peachfuzz

Does BLACK MOON constitute being a ONE HIT WONDER with "Who Got The Props" ????

^^^you're on crack...How Many Emcees must get dissed

I guess we can think about one hit albums. But for my true diggaz, it's more challenging to come up with singles, like:

3X Dope-Funky Dividends

Oh no Sheak... Don't forget "Greatest Man Alive" and "Weak At The Knees"... Those were Three Times Dope hits also pimpin...

411 - Twentyfour & Seven

(not sure if that's the name of the artist nor the name)

Just checkin' ta see whos' payin' attention!
I see you K.Smith!

Does Chi Ali's "funkylemonade" count?

ok ok ok, I got one.....

KRISS KROSS "JUMP JUMP"

Kriss Kross will make you "JUMP JUMP"

J_Static - except that Kris Kross had "Warm It Up" as a big hit at that time too. Then years later came out with "Live And Die For Hip Hop" and "Tonites Tha Night" (I think that's what it was called - Redman featured on the remix of that track too)

Yea but they were only well known for that one song cuz tonite's the nite and warm it up didn't touch how big JUMP JUMP got....

I think warm it up was a hit as well.

"Warm It Up" made it to #13 on the charts and "Tonites Tha Nite" made it to #12.

That first album "Totally Crossed Out" sold over 4 million copies!

And ya can't forget "I Missed the Bus" ;)

whot got the props was black moons first release, but i think, how many emcees was a little bit more pooopular.. but it probably depends on your area. what about mistah grimm - indo smoke? ?? that wasn't really a HIT tho, more of a release...

3xdope - funky dividends

young and restless b girls

shit, can't forget about whoomp! there's my butt by tag team

nice and smooth had a lot of good songs that where out... hip hop junkies was bigger i think than sometime i rhyme slow

threads been dead for a while but you all gotta go buy the video for "iesha" by another bad creation from itunes. shit is crazy.

that song was the shit. i had to buy the extended 12" version. the cassette single just had the radio version. i wasn't even djing yet. hahaha

i had that single on tape son!

M4SERS - Get it boy
Dimples T - Jealous fellas
Tanyaa Gardner - Heartbeat
Jermaine Stewart - We dont have to take our clothes off
Nemisis - Munchies for your bass (damn my mini truckin days lol)

Hell yeah T.Y.S.O.N.

another joint i forgot about is "the power"by chill rob g.i hated the one by snap

69 Boyz and 95 South:

it is somethin' i will never, never ever do again.

There it is!

YUP YUP

Chee Chees Christ!

its really not hiphop per se. but I drop it in my mixes all the time.

Watchyoutube.com

Holy crap I don't remember her but I wish I did!

boogie down productions - loves gonna getcha

Watchyoutube.com

schooly d - no more rock n roll

Watchyoutube.com

geto boys - my mind is playing trick on me

Watchyoutube.com

rob base and dj ez rock - it takes two

Watchyoutube.com

BDP is no 1 hit wonder. Neither was The Geto Boys or Schooly D. Even Rob Base had Love and Pain.

whatever, forgotten by me...as they only had 1 song that was a "hit".

gigolo tony - smurf rock

Nucleus "Jam On It"

Do you mean "Joy and Pain?"

Well that would still be wrong

BDP:

The Bridge Is Over
Criminal Minded
and a few more...

Schooly D:

PSK

Geto Boys

Damn it Feels Good To Be A Gangsta
Scarface
heck...everything that was in the Office Space soundtrack...haha.

Rob Base:

Joy & Pain

DJJOHNNYM

Not by my standards, but that's cool...

OH SHIT...lol...

But I'm actually from the 60's dawg...

everyone and their mum knows the bridge is over...

You forgot they had Siberian Knights as well.

Who remembers the song Robo Cop by the Sleeze Boys?

808 Beats by the Unknown DJ

Roxanne Roxanne by UTFO
They had a bunch of other songs but how many hits?

When I Hear Music by Debbie Deb!!

I'm spinning an 80's night tomorrow, should be fun!!!

What about Lookout weekend??

Mary Jane Girls.....In my house!

What about "All Night Long" and "Candyman?"

I think the concept of the number one is lost on some folks.

yeah, Those were hot joints too, but I get the best response from In my house. But All night long is on that pimp juice shit.

.

Yeah but the original question was not about number one songs. It was about one hit wonders. Some of the artists mentioned had other hits. Sure if you talk about Brotherhood Creed then you would know helluva but who would drop in 50/50 Love? On the other hand, I would play In My House but I could just as easily get away with All Night Long.

Not the number one as in number one songs, but as in ONE hit wonders. Like if an artist has TWO hits, they are no longer ONE hit wonders. See? =)

So, 1 + 1 = 2? Whoa. Nice concept. :P

Number Theory, go figure: whyslopes.com

Read a book, read a book, read a muthaf#ckin book Watchwww.youtube.com

I'd say "The Bridge Is Over" was a pretty big hit. In fact it's one of the most classic hip-hop tracks EVER, come on!

I forgot "My Philosophy" and "Jack of Spades."

Krs 1 was not a one hit wonder and those two tracks rocked

krs one stands for knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone

he was also responsible for self destruction. the first unity record as well.

Black Cop, Sound Of Da Police...

I KNOW y'all didn't TRY to say KRS-ONE somehow was a 1-Hit Wonder....

Stop playin.

My 9mm goes BANG KRS 1 is the man i opened up for him in the 90's at the Hayes theater in SF.

return of the boom bap.... classic.

i don't think black cop was a "hit" but it got love from djs.

yea that was a underground song but it used to rock the spot

shanice - i love your smile

big ups to myself for finding that one in the 'needs to be organized / tagged' folder

www.myspace.com

shes on the golfing / throwing up fake gang signs tip... not a good look. what a let down.

Tracey Lee - The Theme (It's Party Time)
www.discogs.com

Classic!

Hey DJ's I'm no DJ just a fellow music lover. 1st I'd like to thank u all for reminding me of such epic dope tracks. I love listening to throwbacks from my childhood. I stumbled upon this discussion while trying to find this 90s hip hop song that's by 3 or 4 brown skinned cats reminiscent of camp lo. lyrics in the hook is:(female singing) I need you..oou baby, to get with me tonight...i..i...ight (repeats once) then it says: (male voice non-singing) there's a party over here a party over there ladies are u wit me (hell yeah) there's a party over here party over there fellas are u wit me (hell yeah).

Cheba - The piper

and do the mid 90ies count?
Bas Blasta - The Rhythm
A.D.O.R. - Let it all hang out

Hey! can anyone help me! Looking for an old hiphop / rap song with the lyrics ......
"She said she loved me but i just ignored it i guess the mothaf***** money was more important, forget hugs and kisses x's and o's I don't love these bitches exes and hoes" it's been driving me crazzyyy lol thnx!!

Not exactly a one hit wonder he had the song with biggie keep your hands high that was pretty dope too even though biggie killed him on it

Need some help, google/shazam couldnt find a song im looking for...its early/mid 90s upbeat tempo

Go go go go go go go go go go go go
We've been together so long, how can you say that its wrong..

Rap is something like
Chocolate shake its thick creamy oh so dreamy believe me the sex is steamy

357-Juicy Gotem Crazy

We all love to listen to music, it accompanies us almost everywhere. For me personally, Michael Jackson is a pop culture icon. I advise you to read the article www.thatericalper.com if you want to know more about how legendary this artist was, who broke several records, and transcended racial boundaries and revolutionized the music industry.

"victory" was the only song of her's that i remember from back then. i don't know "jamaican funk".

oh, and special ed def had more than one hit. so did nice and smooth.

cars with the boom!

boo-yaa tribe - psychofunk

Damn. This thread was fire until it got to some of the more recent posts. Absolute gold! Made me miss the old forum days and I wasn't even around for the best years! I hope every single DJ on this thread has come through the past year okay and is doing alright.

To add one of my own, I didn't see Kid Flash - Hot Like Fire.
Watchwww.youtube.com

I don't know how big Flash was in the U.S. but here in the U.K. I only ever saw one track from him and I only ever saw it on N-Sign Radio (as in the video above). At the time, I thought he was a bit of a copycat with a cheesy track, but I liked the girls in the video so it got a pass. lol

I was a kid when this came out, but I remember seeing the video once on Rap City and seeing his pic in Word Up! Magazine. Never heard anything else out of him after that.
