MC Eiht - "Streiht Up Menace"

Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Saturday, 10 September 2005 02:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Gravediggaz - "1-800-SUICIDE"

Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Saturday, 10 September 2005 02:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Arrested Development - Tennessee
Notorious BIG - Big Poppa
Snoop Dogg - What's My Name
These should all be top ten.

I don't agree with this today. Especially "Tennessee." My current POV consists of Regulate, It Was A Good Day, Around The Way Girl, Let Me Ride and '93 Til Infinity.

"Straight Outta Compton" was '88.

Does anybody know a tune that has these lyrics:

"this is how it feels to be a neighborhood queen" (roughly translated, hell I could be completely off)

It was played on the radio station 1490 AM in Tucson 13 years ago, once.

It could have been some local female rapper but I'm not sure.

She talks about her CKs (calvin kleins)
