All the same, I don’t think I’ve heard that one in 24 years, lol.

The other 5 I still hear - and I love them all.

I don’t care - that song is fun. Though the Zo and Tigallo version was so hilarious, that I favor that one now.

I never cared about that song at all, though yes Dirty was entertaining as always. That was the kind of song that the popularity of it always stumped me - and yeah, it’s the beat. That beat is just remarkably boring and basic.

>California Love - overplayed and I'm not in California

Overplayed for sure, but I’m a Dodgers fan so it’s got a second life with me since closer Kenley Jansen often came into the game with it playing.
>Hypnotize - overplayed

Back then, sure. I don’t really hear it like that now? And BIG was spitting on there, especially for a commercial first single. I love his rapping on that song.

>Regulate- overplayed

My only problem is that this is like the only song Warren gets acknowledged for now, when in reality he had a bunch of hits.
3036717, Ah I'm just hatin

Between me and you....when I'm partying (intoxicated) I sing along like everybody else ha
3036718, Lol

I mean, I don’t play any of those songs on purpose (except for Hypnotize, if I’m listening to L.A.D), but I love all of them when they come on.

Except Ghetto Superstar. Like I said, that one never did a thing for me.

you can't get rid of that right there. Its historic value outweighs how annoying grown ass men with grandchildren act when it comes on.
3036721, I remember being hyped for The Luniz

I thought they were an offshoot of Digital Underground.

The bay was on fire 94 to 96

An extravaganza of "The Source" advertisements right there.


3036726, Richie Rich too and the underground scene was nuts

3036724, Wanted to Pick Ghetto Superstar, but ODB's prescene
Posted by Adwhizz, Mon Feb-14-22 12:41 PM
on the track won't allow me to pull it

Sorry California Love
3036730, If Return of the Mack goes, can we keep the Burger King commercial?
Posted by spenzalii, Tue Feb-15-22 04:38 PM
Because I do not want to live in a world without this ridiculous Mac n Cheetos commercial (even if I would never eat them on a dare):

3036732, Why do people hate California Love?
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Tue Feb-15-22 06:25 PM
It's a bit played out. But it was/is a great single.

I voted Ghetto Superstar because I've never cared for it. Pras did nothing for me. Mya's guest spot was cool but nothing else worked for me.
3036734, I can only listen to the remix now.
Posted by JFrost1117, Tue Feb-15-22 07:00 PM
The OG version was daily routine when I was getting dressed for school with MTV on. I did get the nostalgic rush at the Super Bowl, but otherwise, it's in a brain folder of songs that I never have to hear again.
3036737, The beat
Posted by OKdamn, Wed Feb-16-22 07:41 AM
I can still tolerate the LP version

Plus I still hear it all the time and I don't even listen to the radio thar much

Knick Knack Patty Wack was better
3036744, Because EPMD did it 1000x better...

3036747, I guess I was living in a bubble
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Wed Feb-16-22 05:18 PM
I don't play the song often so it's still somewhat refreshing and nostalgic to hear.

I had no idea people didn't like the song anymore. But I also don't listen to the radio and didn't know that it still gets a fair amount of airplay. In that case, I can see why a nearly 30-year-old song(!!) is played.

Never heard EPMD's take on the sample. At least I don't recall the song.
3036733, RotM can eat shit directly from an ass.

I hate the fuck out of that song.
