- Request Line By Rockmaster Scott & The Dynamic Three
- Do The Right Thing By Lovebug Starski
Summer of 1984 I grew up in Massachusetts but my father's family is from New Jersey. Once or twice a year we'd drive down there to visit (usually for the 4th of July or Thanksgiving). I remember the New York radio stations were like 6 months ahead of the Boston radio stations. Anyway, I can remember Request Line and Do The Right Thing getting heavy rotation along with The Fat Boys and Whodini which I had already heard.
- Roxanne Roxanne - UTFO
- Eric B is President - Eric B & Rakim
- Girls AIn't Nothin But Trouble - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Summer of 1986. Same deal, we drove down to New Jersey for the 4th of July and Red Alert, Chuck Chillout and Mr Magic were playing Eric B is President and Girls Ain't Nothin But Trouble. Me and my brother had never heard either song before.
- Cause I Got It Like That - The Jungle Brothers
- You Gots To Chill - EPMD
I was a freshen and I was hangin out with some upperclassmen who had driver's licenses. We were driving around listening to the college radio stations and they played Cause I Got It Like That and You Gots To Chill . And I recognized the samples from both songs.
Last one
