One has amped up the exercise game, currently doing about 4 hours a day - all of which is done at home. So, what do you need? You need music. For whatever reason, 90s Hip Hop came into my mind. Been listening to it left and right. Some of it, it actually sounds better now than it did then. Anyway, I thought I'd post some fave tracks - meaning tracks that sound real good, right now (to me anyway). If others would like to join in and post some of their own current 90s hip hop faves, that would be great......

TLC was always a cool group. "Waterfalls" is such an iconic song. Look up the group Sporty Thievz and their song "No Pigeons". It's their diss track rebuttal to "No Scrubs".

Hahahah, yeah, "No Pigeons" - good rebuttal. Funny, too.

Yeah, it goes both ways - for males and females (I'm male), if your life is one big mess, I'm not getting involved in it.

Thanks for the track.

I had to go back and remind myself what qualified as 90s Hip Hop, but after a quick refresher I'd say the groups that I liked most from that genre and time period were Salt 'n Pepa, TLC, En Vogue and De la Soul.

To this day when this one comes on the radio I at least leave it on until after the introduction and the beat drops. One of the best intros to any song:

And even though this is 1989 I'm going to say "close enough" because it's just so much fun.

Yeah En Vogue - good track.

So they say....

Free your mind......and the rest will follow

Thanks for the response.

Oh yeah I remember that one.

If one recalls correctly, it was the introduction to "Gangsta Rap".

Hahhhaha, OMG - 30 years ago, time flies.

Thanks for the track brother.
