Another big year for R&B, especially R&B with a new jack swing influence. Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You for The Bodyguard soundtrack is not the first example of a soundtrack ballad reaching these polls, but it's certainly one of the biggest. The song beat all of Whitney Houston's previously-held longevity records and as of this writing it's still number 60 on Billboard's All-Time Top 100 chart.

Barely missing the eligibility for this poll is the solo debut album of Dr. Dre. The Chronic was released in 1992, helping to cement the sound of west coast rap, specifically G-funk. As the name would suggest, G-funk is largely influenced by funk music (with several tracks off The Chronic sampling Parliament-Funkadelic and George Clinton). West Coast rap also had a larger influence from car culture than the East Coast. Not just in subject matter, but in how the production would sound coming out of a car speaker. Reality rap (or gangster rap, as it would later be more widely called) was already controversial in the 1980's, especially the tracks criticizing the militant police presence in Los Angeles. This controversy would only grow in the early 90's, but so too would the mainstream popularity of the sound. With the East Coast and the West Coast having their own distinct styles and champions under their belts (especially after the formation of Bad Boy Records and Death Row Records), the rivalry between the two scenes was starting to get intense. How much of this rivalry could be boiled down to kayfabe differed depending on who you asked at the time. There is a lot that has been said about this era from a vast number of different standpoints. And as we move through the years, we'll see even more distinct scenes and styles start to enter the conversation.

Summer time activities need a great playlist

It's Memorial Day weekend! That means cookouts, family reunions, graduation parties - in other words, the unofficial kickoff to summer! We know everybody is going to need a solid playlist for cousin Denard's graduation or Aunt Lisa's 40th birthday party, so we decided to help ya out.

We picked some songs to help you get started on your summertime playlist. If you love classic Hip-Hop, you gotta love these bangers, fam. 

Here are Classic Hip-Hop's Greatest Summer Songs! (We added an extra one for the holiday. You're welcome.)

#26

"E.I." - NELLY

We know what you're thinking: there are other Nelly songs that may be your first choice for this list. But have you ever had this blasting poolside while everybody has something to sip in their cups? It works, yo. No, really - it works.

#25

"SHAKE YA ASS" - MYSTIKAL

That legendary shit-talker from Nawlins teamed up with The Neptunes for a track that it's impossible to sit still to. Especially when Mystikal himself is demanding that you move sumthin.' 

#24

"NOT TONIGHT (LADIES NIGHT REMIX)" - LIL KIM, DA BRAT, LEFT EYE, MISSY ELLIOTT, ANGIE MARTINEZ

The Queen Bee's classic remix features a small handful of some of the greatest women to ever hold a mic, and on top of that - they sound like they're having an amazing time. The best song for a girl's night out. 

#23

"FIND A WAY" - A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

Q-Tip, Phife and Ali closed the 1990s with one of their shiniest singles. Not shiny like jiggy rap, but shiny like a hot day on the beach. The video fits the feel, and the song is the perfect soundtrack for a laid-back Saturday in June.

#22

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY" - LUKE

Nobody has ever been better at getting the party started than Uncle Luke. And he has more than a few pool party favorites, but watch how the crowd goes nuts when you throw this one on. 

#21

"GOIN' BACK TO CALI" - LL COOL J

Yes, this is one of those go-to ridin' anthems. Uncle L and Rick Rubin got their West Coast on with this bass-heavy, slow-rolling classic. It's greatest strength is that it can double as a car anthem and as a slow groove for your beach party. 

#20

"HIP-HOP HOORAY" - NAUGHTY BY NATURE

Naughty By Nature is another legendary rap act with no shortage of summer anthems, but this one is so undeniably fun and well-known that it fits alongside pretty much anything on your cookout compilations.

#19

"MY BOO" - GHOST TOWN DJS

Bass beats and R&B vocals could be musical magic; and there was never a better example than this hit from summer 1996. Ghost Town DJ's smash single was one of the most inescapable songs of that year—and it still evokes the spirit of cruising the Dirty South during the hot months.

#18

"RUMPSHAKER" - WRECKX-N-EFFECT

Wreckx-N-Effect gave us a summer song for the ages with this ode to shakin' ass. It's not bootyshaking in the Miami bass tradition, but it's definitely a fun song to have playing when there are string bikinis around. 

#17

"A ROLLERSKATING JAM NAMED SATURDAYS" - DE LA SOUL

De La's feel-good, vibey hit single is still one of their coolest tracks. A flip of the Fearless Four's "F-1000," a lil bit of B.T. Express, and some Chicago for good measure = classic. And this shit really does make you wanna rollerskate.

#16

"LET ME RIDE" - DR. DRE

Summertime isn't just about cookouts and pool parties. There's also the joy of cruising on a warm summer day, and no Hip-Hop classic has ever better captured that feel than this hit from Dr. Dre.

#15

"IT'S SUPPOSED TO BUBBLE" - UGK

Slow as a hot Texas Sunday, this classic from Bun B and Pimp C just sounds like Saturday nights down south. It's perfect for when you want to chill poolside a little bit with a cold beer or somethin' a little more bubbly.

#14

"BEAUTIFUL" - SNOOP DOGG FEAT. PHARRELL

Forever a vibe! It just sounds like warm beaches and cool drinks, surrounded by your favorite people, soaking up the sun. If that doesn't fit your scene, just enjoy the ambience, homie. It works no matter where you are.

#13

"CANDY" - EIGHTBALL & MJG

The Memphis greats showed that they can do laid back, fun vibes as well as they do gritty Tennessee street tales. Ball 'n G gave us one classic for the riders with this reimagining of Cameo's classic. 

#12

"OH YEAH!" - ROTTIN RAZKALS

Naughty By Nature had so many anthemic classics that they passed this one along to their buddies, Rottin Razkals. With some heavy lifting from Treach and Kay Gee, this trio landed one of the more slept on anthems of the 90s.

#11

"DOOWHUTCHYALIKE" - DIGITAL UNDERGROUND

It always gets the party started and it's impossible to hear the breakout hit from Digital Underground's classic debut album SEX PACKETS and not wanna throw a pool party. We get it.

#10

"DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT" - SNOOP DOGG FEAT. PHARRELL

Pharrell and Snoop's chemistry has always been undeniable. When you put the VA kid and the Doggfather in the studio together, you're likely to get summer classics. It's just a given.

#9

"SCARRED" - LUKE FEAT. TRICK DADDY AND VERB

Remember what we said about Luke and party-starters? This is another uber-classic. Put this on at the family reunion and watch Aunt Gladys almost break her hip twerking to it.

#8

"RUFF RYDERS ANTHEM" - DMX

You gotta have some gully shit on your cookout playlist, right? And X's anthem is perfect turn-up music if things threaten to get too chill. 

#7

"SUMMERTIME IN THE LBC" - THE DOVE SHACK

It don't get no more West Coast than this. The title says it all, and the hook seduces you immediately. Truly a perfect track. It really just epitomizes summer in southern California. 

#6

"A PARTY AIN'T A PARTY" - QUEEN PEN

The rapstress from the Bronx hit us with one helluva glasses-to-the-sky party anthem. This is the track you put on when you and your girls hit the beach or the cruise. This is a the-divorce-just-finalized classic. 

#5

"YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT" - ICE CUBE

Another tune that's more about cruising as the sun goes down than partying poolside, this might be Ice Cube's best ridin' anthem. Cube does those kinds of songs particularly well, but he hit it out the park with this.

#4

"FEEL ME FLOW" - NAUGHTY BY NATURE

You might think of other Naughty By Nature songs first, and we've already established that Kay Gee, Treach and Vin Rock have no short supply of anthems. But no song better captures the warm vibes of summer like this uber-hit from 1995.

#3

"HEY DJ" - THE WORLD FAMOUS SUPREME TEAM

The World Famous Supreme Team gave us the ultimate ode to DJs (both radio spinners and turntablists) with this sublime rap classic. It just feels like summer. Put it on and watch the whole crowd jam. 

#2

"BACK THAT AZZ UP" - JUVENILE FEAT. LIL WAYNE

There are certain songs you just know are gonna be heard at the cookout, pool party, Junebug-finally-coming-home party or any other summer party. It's like a rap game law to have this on your playlist. We ain't about to fight the law.

#1

"SUMMERTIME" - DJ JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE

You already know. We tried (we really tried) to find a song that wouldn't be so obvious a No. 1. But you know what? Some shit is just that undeniable, that timeless and that classic. Jazz and Will gave us a summer song for the ages. There's a reason you hear it every damn year for the past 30 years.
