Featured Song: Age Aint Nothing But a Number / Chi Ali

Show Notes/Oops:

The song "The Many Ways" was incorrectly read as debuting at #67. Shoulda been #167. Oops!
At around 39:53, I incorrectly said the single was called "Here I Come". Should been "Here I Stand". Oops!

Featured song Swing My Way by K.P. and Envyi

Show Notes/Corrections

I incorrectly called Foxy Brown's 3rd album Broken Silences, the correct title is Broken Silence.
The song Hot Spots peaked at #91 on the charts, not #1.

Featured Songs:

Ice Ice Baby / Vanilla Ice

They Call Me D-Nice / D-Nice

Whoot There It Is / 95 South

Whoomp, There It Is / Tag Team

My Boo / Ghost Town DJ's

Dazzey Duks / Duice

Show Notes:

For the D-Nice song, I mentioned that the Buzzsaw sample was a tiny one but that is clearly a research error as the sample is a large one and clearly a big part of the song.
