I was playin a lot of songs from diff albums the last few days, and I realized damn, 1995 summer produced some bomb azz songs that definitely had a summertime mood to them, and some of them were actually talkin about the summertime. So if you were listenin to rap back in 95, post some of the songs you remember gettin played the most in 95 summer. Bein in LA, I remember these songs, as well as some others, gettin major play on radio and by individuals...
Da Brat, JD, Biggie - Da B Side (Bad Boyz I soundtrack)
Tha Twinz - Round and Round
Dove Shack - Summertime in tha LBC
Total feat Biggie - Can't you see
Junior Mafia - Players anthem
Luniz - I got five on it
Montell Jordan - This is how we do it
Coolio - Fantastic Voyage (nobody can front that this song was hot when it dropped)
DJ Quik - Summer Breeze
DJ Quik - Safe & sound
Skee-Lo - I wish
Ahmad - Back in the day
2Pac - So many tears
Tha Twinz - Eastside LB
Biggie - Juicy
Biggie - Big Poppa
Biggie - One more chance (yeah those songs were killin in the summer)
Naughty by nature - Feel me flow
E-40 - Sprinkle me
Ice Cube - Friday
Dr. Dre - Keep their heads ringin
Mack 10 - Foe life
WC and da maad circle w/ Cube and Mack 10 - West up
Damn.....I didn't even think about half of these songs until I was thinkin hard about what else came out around that summer. It was some songs I forgot came out around that summer and when I remembered I was really just like wtf........after seein that, I am really thinkin that I have to make a CD with all these songs on it...1995 HAD to be my favorite summer for rap songs to come out. If you don't agree with me, you are an idiot!!! J/K but I don't think 93, 94, 96, or 2001 can compete with that list of songs.

Kill that shit...for one, I'm not the one on this website to get at with sarcastic bullshit because I never come at anybody with that. If you didn't get the point of the other thread, your bad, but all I was sayin was that we love our era of rap the most, and we may hate the current state of rap but its people who are lovin this era and will hate the present era in 5-10 years just like we hate this one, and older heads hated ours. Other than that, I never said anything was wrong with liking old music or looking back on what we loved the most.

LMAO! calm down at get crunk wit it man.

Yeah, summer '95 was the year! When I look back, I think I had the most fun that summer that any other year. Here's what I mainly remember from summer '95:
1. Bone Thugs - 1st of that month (I agree this epitomizes summer '95. I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time in July thinking this was the tightest shit I'd ever heard. Whenever I hear any track off this album I think of summer 1995.
2. Coolio - Gangsta'z paradise (They played the fuck outta this song on the radio and The Box!)
3. Soul for Real - Every little thing I do (I think of spending time, sittin' out by the alley with this girl I really liked when I hear this song.....damn, to be 15 again : )
4. TLC - Waterfalls (This just has a summertime vibe and this got hella radio play too)
5. Naughty by Nature - Feel me flow (This didn't get as much airplay, but when I hear this song all I can think about is that summer)
6. 2Pac - So many tears (I remember me and my crackaz driving around in another friend's car before we got our licenses. Seems like this always came on the radio at that time)
7. Skee-Lo - I wish (This always sounded like it should be a song for younger kids to me, but I couldn't front. I was diggin it)
8. Ice Cube - Friday (Think of the late night was this one)
9. Dana Dane - Chester (Never really liked this song, but that played the video all the time on The Box and it was drilled into my memory for summer '95)
10. DJ Quik - Summer breeze (If I remember correctly, the single for this did not drop until late in the summer maybe August. But I had been bumping it since early 95 when the album dropped.
-

Man... you shouldn't have even gotten me started on 1995 and 96... I could go on forever about those two years in music.
Especially 96, I was 14 then, I wouldn't have traded that summer with anybody in the whole world... The music was the soundtrack to my life then it was a part of everything I did... my father was always out of town that summer, my mom was going back to school, I hung out at the pool all day, ran around all night, I always had girls before then but that was my first summer being in love, that experience eclipsed everything else..
..but then...abruptly the summer ended... my girlfriend flew back to her mom's house (I'd never see her again) to start the school year, 2pac was murdered, Snoop dropped a brick (tha Doggfather at the time was a brick, in retrospect it wasn't that bad), and really as soon as that summer finished life was never the same after that. Music was never the same. The whole world shifted beneath me. It took me about 4 years and a change in religion to finally regain my footing.
So anyway, here's my little tribute to that year in music. That was back when we were still borrowing cd's from our friends and copying them onto tapes. We didn't do the internet then or cd burning. We'd listen to the radio and press record when our song came on. Anyway, here's my personal soundtrack to the summer. These were the songs I was bumping daily, check it...
96' The Greatest Summer In Hip-Hop
Jayo Felony- "Zoom Zoom Wam Wams"
Crucial Conflict- "Hay"
"The Macerena" (Yep, even that song was dope to me then)
69 Boyz- "The Train"
Outkast- "Atliens"
Too Short- "Gettin It"
Dove Shack- "Summertime in the LBC"
Nas- "If I Ruled The World"
Fugee's- "Ready Or Not"
My songs I had with my girl...........
Monica- "Baby That's Just Why I Love You So Much"
Total- "Kissing You"
Jodeci- "Get On Up"
2pac- "How Do You Want It"
LL Cool J- "Who Do You Love"
...really I love any song that came out that summer. Even Jay-Z's cut with Foxy Brown was dope, and I was taking the East/West beef seriously then (favouring the West ofcourse). But everything on the radio was hot.
Anyway, that's my take, I could really go on forever, you shouldn't have gotten me started on that summer.

I like what U posted here man I'm feelin' it especially tha part where it sayz "the music was the soundtrack to my life then it was a part of everything I did..." and "...life was never tha same after that. Music was never tha same.", I can tell that summer REALLY meant alot to U and those songz now reflect everything that was goin' on in your personal life back then...
I can just hear Monica singin' Baby That's Why I Love You So Much makez me think back of my ex-girl I had at that time...
But anyway I had tha same kind of experience only it was in tha summer of 1998 and it continued all tha way untill 1999 came in so thatz why I'm really feelin' what U said, 1998 is definitely a special year to me: thatz when I got my Technicz and I started mixin', I was alwayz busy doin' shit havin' fun hangin' with my friendz or whatever, I'd go clubbin' every weekend and then there was this girl ofcourse, damn I'm gonna have to quote U again cause that sumz it up pretty good "...that experience eclipsed everything else..." Everything in my life seemed just perfect at that time and there was also a soundtrack to all of this, see at that time tha music was like magic to me cause far less music was bein' released and I actually liked almost everything that came out and I was bumpin' alotta old shit too:
Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz - Uptown baby
Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See
Lauryn Hill - complete Education Of Lauryn Hill album
Why Do Fools Fall In Love soundtrack
Ray J - That's Why I Lie
Ginuwine - Same Ol' G
Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody
Ma$e - What You Want
JD & Mariah Carey - Sweetheart
Khadejia with Product G&B - Here We Go
Whitney Houston - If I Told You That
MQ3 with Redman - Everyday
Next with Big Pun - I Still Love You remix
All party breakz by Crooklyn Clan
Big Kap - Push Em Up
Daz - complet Retaliation Revenge And Get Back album
Tatyana Ali - Daydreamin'
Brandy - U Don't Know Me
Etc etc etc...
Tha fun ended on new years eve however, I got sick earlier that day so I had to spend tha last night of '98 in bed, there were a few problemz concernin' that girl and I couldn't see her anymore, when tha new year had begun it seemed that tha group of friendz I had started to break up and went about their own wayz... Life seemed to have changed forever and all I had left was tha music and memoriez of 1998 and still to this day I catch myself reminiscin' sometimez about that year it made such an impact on me... I guess everybody has those certain periodz in their life when you're feelin' like nothin' can go wrong and you're on top of tha world!

95 was this shit. just lookin at that list, i can't believe how bad the west has fallen off.

Damn man I couldn't have said it better. I just had to put my input in, this is a great thread. I forgot how great summer '95 music was, also loves '96 summer. But my personal favorite was summer '97. This was just a personal favorite time of my life, things couldn't have been better. And I loved the music:
Westside Connection- Entire Bow Down album
Warren G- Smokin' Me Out (really the whole Take a Look Over Your Shoulder cd)
Tupac- whole Makaveli album (Iknow I got this cd came out Nov '96, but I didn't listen to it til summer '97
Biggie- whole Life after Death album
Puffy- I'll Be Missing You
Biggie feat. Mase, Puffy- Mo Money, Mo Problems (all time favorite song, just because it gives me the best memories of my life)
Blackstreet feat. Dr. Dre- No Diggity
And so much more. I just loved music at that time. I loved chillin with my friends, playin ball till night, and just livin the life. It's crazy cause once it hit September things just never seemed the same. To this day I still love putting these cd's in and think about that summer. CLASSIC!
