The 90’s was the era I pretty much grow up in. Jr. High, High School, 1st love, many, many heart breaks, and so much more. It was also a great era for music. So many different types of music made an impact in the 90’s from Rock to Hip Hop. I had to narrow it down. So I picked R&B and Hip Hop Men. To the youngins nowadays, it’s old school, but to me it was just my music… My Jams.
Come take a trip with me back in time to the 90’s. I promise it’s gonna be a good time.
1990 – Troop “All I Do Is Think of You”
I had a mix tape with this one it. It was for one of my many crushes, but I never gave it to him.
1990 – Guy “Let’s Chill”
Whatever happened to Aaron Hall? That man could sing.
1991 – Hi Five “Kissing Game”
This song always makes me think of my 1st love.
1991- DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince “Summertime”
This one makes me think of my 1st love too and all the time we spent in the pool that summer.
1992 – Jodeci “Stay”
I always wanted that dude to talk to me in that deep voice like he does in the beginning… Damn, that is still hot.
1992 – Shai “If I Ever Fall In Love”
One of my favorite a cappella songs ever.
1993 – Silk “Freak Me”
http://youtu.be/5ODLnKLaGWs
In high school, “freaking” was a dance. I now know that is NOT what they are singing about… To be so innocent again…
1993 – Naughty By Nature “Hip Hop Hooray”
Let’s be honest, who doesn’t point at one of their friends when the song says “Hey Ho Hey Ho”?
1994 – Tevin Campbell “Can We Talk”
I used to think he was just the cutest thing.
1994 – R.Kelly “Bump and Grind”
Of course you don’t see nothing wrong… You’s a man. Lol.
1995 – Montell Jordan “This Is How We Do it”
The year I graduated, this song was perfect for all the high school dances and parties… Side note: he looks just like my brother… Ewww. Lol.
1995 – Method Man & Mary J Blige “All I Need”
There is something about Method Man that I just love… Hmmm.
1996 – Ginuwine “Pony”
Before Channing did that EffHot striptease to this song… there was Ginuwine. And who didn’t wanna ride his pony.
1996 – Bone Thugs-n-Harmony “The Crossroads”
I still remember being at SummerJam ’96, seeing them perform this song live… Amazing.
1997 – The Notorious B.I.G. “Hypnotize”
RIP Biggie
1997 – Puff Daddy & Faith Evans feat. 112 “I’ll Be Missing You”
I remember hearing this song and just being so sad for the loss of two great rappers, even though this song is only for one of them.
1998 – Next “Too Close”
We’ve all been there many, many times in the club, dancing, then you gettin’ poked… This song will never get old.
1998 – Dru Hill “How Deep Is Your Love”
All I think of when I hear this song is the movie Rush Hour and Jackie Chan dancing.
1999 – Brian McKnight “Back at One”
I remember the 1st time I heard this song. Let’s just say a lot of tears were shed and my heart was breaking.
1999 – Donell Jones “U Know What’s Up”
Still makes me wanna dance.
I know I may have forgotten some….but I could go on and on with music from the 90’s. This week’s TBT will have one of my favorite male singers from the 90’s that I couldn’t fit into today’s post. So until then, drop me a comment below and tell me some of your faves. And up next week, R&B and Hip Hop: The Women of the 90’s.
