Does anybody from L.A. remember Power 106's "Phat 500"???

Man....back in 1998, Power 106 had a major thing where they did a countdown of the top 500 songs of all time, from R&B, Rap, and basically whatever you'll hear on a typical Rap, R&B, and Old School station. I actually had the list saved on one of my older computers back then, but it's back in L.A., and I doubt I could ever find it...and they posted it on their website back then, but I've tried finding it a good number of times since then, but cannot find it for anything!!

All I remember is....#1 was Nothin but a G thang, #2 was Roger n Zapp More bounce to the ounce....I know that "Atomic dog" was in the top ten, and I think Keith Sweat Make it last forever was #9 or so. #16 or so was Jay-Z Ain't no n'gga. It had all the classics on there...and the only flaw was that they did put some newer songs in the 500 that probably wouldn't have made it today if they did it again. They let the listeners call in and nominate three songs...but I doubt that held much weight, because I clearly remember one girl calling in saying "No scrubs" and two other brand new songs.
