** Really ought to be the official video.
- Some of these I was listening to when they originally came out, while others were discovered later on via various Rap forums.
- As expected, a bunch of songs I thought were from '90 turned out to be from '89, but surprisingly, a bunch of songs that I thought were from 2000 happened to be from '99. Rap finds a way, I guess.

Gotta love a list which contains One By One by Smut Peddlers. Good South Central Cartel deep cut too.
SCC's Gang Stories got a lot of play on The Box, IRRC.
Man, we didn't The Box up north until Sky went digital in the late 90s.
The New 2 Live Crew's You Go Girl was practically on endless loop on The Box. LOL @ the YouTube comments also remembering it.
This is a refreshing list compared to most 90s rap song lists usually it’s the same songs over and over.
Cheers. 🍻
