What songs can you name that most people would have to dig deep to remember being singles? I'm not really going for album cuts, or for songs that never made it to radio or TV at all...but songs that people could hear and say "wait....daaaaaaaaaaaaamn I haven't heard this in ten years!" regardless of if it was a major single at the time, or just received a moderate amount of play.

Here's some I can think of....

Ill & Al Skratch ft. Brian McKnight - I'll take her
Kriss Kross ft. Da Brat, JD, Aaliyah - Live and die for Hip Hop (great track)
Outkast ft. Mystikal - Neck uv da woods (The Wood Sdtk)
Slick Rick ft. Outkast - Street talkin
Heavy D - Big daddy
Wyclef - Gone til November (Remix)
Busta Rhymes ft. Old D Bastard - Woohah! (Remix)
Mase ft. Cam'ron - Horse and Carriaeg
Cam'ron - 357
DRS - Gangsta lean
Subway adn 702 - This little game we play
Fath Evans ft. Puffy - All night long
Hi-Five - Quality time
Mista - Blackberry Molasses (LMAO, Bobby V's group)
Playa - Cheers 2 u
Maxwell - Ascension (Jay Dilla remix)
Montell Jordan - Somethin 4 tha honeys
Prince - ???? - A song he had back in the summer of 94 that had a rapper on it...can't remember, but it was same time as "most beautiful girl in the world"
R. Kelly ft. Keith Murray - Home alone (G-One produced)
R. Kelly ft. Aaliyah - Your body's calling (Remix)

Slick Rick ft. Outkast - Street talkin

Yooo this track in 99 was big for me, made me buy the Slick Rick record. Ive been bumpin it a lot since the new cham song came out.

Mase ft. Cam'ron - Horse and Carriaeg

This was dope in 98 i wasent a huge fan of it but it brings me back to my teens and makes me think of that era with Pun, ruff ryders and all those guys that were big in 98.


Dont try yo claim things i haent earned honest man slick rick and outkast is on the this jam
