Them Wu tang nikkas and radios didn't play southern music heavily for a long ass time.
U are full of sh*t
Songs that I remember on heavy rotation after Hot 97 changed its format to Hip Hop summer 1993:
Dominoe _ Ghetto Jam / Sweet Potato Pie
Snoop - Gin and Juice
2pac - I get around / Keep Ya Head up (Ran these songs into the ground)
DRS - Gangsta Lean ( ran this song into the ground along with WBLS)
Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane
MC Eiht - Straight Up Menace (non stop with this song)
Tag Team - Whop There It Is (ran this song in the ground as well a kiss and wbls)
Warren G - Regulate / This DJ
Scarface - Never seen a Man cry
2pac - Dear Mama
2Pac - Old School (this wasnt even a single , it was an album cut yet it got heavy rotation on Hot 97...matter fact, the first time I ever heard this song was on Hot 97)
Coolio - Gangster Paradise
Goodie Mob - Cell Therapy
and I'll never ever forget spring 97 when B-Rock, The Bizz's song "My Baby Daddy" won the Angie Martinez's Battle Of The Beats for a week. Till this day I still say that the success of that song was "the beginning of the fukkery in Hip Hop"
