Early 90s Summer Jams

I'm in the process of creating a mixcd of popular hip-hop/r&b songs from the early-mid 1990s that in some way demand to be enjoyed during a hot summer's day. It's mostly done by impression and there is no real criteria other than that. It's epitomized by songs like Naughty by Nature's "Hip-Hop Hooray" and 2pac's "Stay True" but strecthes to include songs like The Fresh Prince's "Summertime" and TLC's "Waterfalls". If anyone reading this has any suggestions, I'd love to read them. Thanks and have a great summer.

i recently threw an early 90's skating rink themed party. i seriously could go on and on.
it was a glorious moment when pretentious indierockers broke down and actually formed a train during quad city dj's "c'mon ride it"...

Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance
I hold a strong nostalgia for this great song, vague memories of it blasting from a stereo during a mid-summer neighborhood pool party.
Maybe this is an 89 release? It doesn't really matter; the sound is distinctively early 90s-ish.
