[Dominic Brehetto]

Geto boys. Was 1990 already done? I must have missed it

 

[No Hook]

Mind Playin Tricks On Me. That song meant a lot to hip hop

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

None of these songs were bigger than Summertime, that shyt comes on today and you will see everyone nodding their heads to that shyt. They will he playing that at BBQ's in the summer 20 years from now and it's already been getting burn for 20 years.

Same thing can be said about Mind's Playing Trick on Me

That’s the thing. Are we talking what is the hottest in retrospect, or what was the hottest in the streets/parties/schools at the time?

Why are we even talking about what was the hottest at any point in time?

This is about what single was the best.

Try-hard alert...

Cypress Hill's first shyt was big on the street way before they were a hit on MTV. Do the knowledge, kiddo.

Technically, 'Choice Is Yours' was '92. Album dropped in '91, but that wasn't a single til the following year.

Hell naw, ain't no white folks turning on MPTOM. Summertime is one of those "once in a lifetime" type of songs.

Also during that time do you think Mind Playing Tricks got a lot more play than Steady Mobbin which was one of Cube largest singles?

If we go by that then OPP is the song, but I'm looking at in the retrospect.
