This might fit better in the Music forum, but I figured that the information I am looking for might be more targeted at the "general audience" so I went with Members Playground instead. If that is a problem, feel free to move.

Anyway, here is my situation. A friend has asked me to make a mix CD for her that includes new and popular rap and R&B songs. That part is done, and I won't be seeing her for a day or so, so I wanted to make another CD; this one having Rap hits from the early 90's.

I'm talking Sir-Mixalot, "I Like Big Butts," Coolio, "Fantastic Voyage," etc.

I'd like to create a compilation of early 90's rap songs that were both humorous, but also popular and "fun" to look back on and think about today.

The reason I am posting this here instead of the Music forum, is because I know a lot of you listen to music, and also listened to music 10 years ago or more. I am just looking for suggested rap songs from the early 90's (give or take 5 years), that you remember being popular, catchy, even borderline "good," but that today are aged and funny to look back on.

Another example would be that, "Whoop, there it is" song.

I welcome any suggestion any of you may have. I want this album to be a lot of fun, and to have a compilation of early rap that isn't necessarily good, but is funny and catchy.

I can't remember the names of songs and rappers that performed right now (it always seems to work out that way), but I am confident that many of you can think of a song or two that would fit well on this compilation disc. If you think your suggestion might not fit the bill, suggest it anyway. I'd like as much feedback as possible, so that narrowing the song list down to a CD length will be a fun process.

Thanks in advance!
