Those are going to take a LOT of research and playing around with.

Even these mixes are much harder than it might seem...it was so many different styles each year, and the hardest part is actually just dealing with the wide range of BPM's and making each transition and set make sense.

The thing about 90-92 is that I didn't start listening to Rap until Summer 93...I didn't really get familiar until December of 92. Sounds crazy, but my older cousin from Florida introduced me to Snoop and Dre that December in 92, when the Dre Day video was on.

So I am gonna be talking to all my folks who were there...including y'all! If you notice, I don't just use the main hits from each year...I use songs that you ONLY knew if you were there, such as a Rufus Black, Tracey Lee, or Jayo Felony. So I want 90-92 to be the same, not just using the obvious Kris Kross, Humpty Hump, Around the way girl type of tracks.
