In 1991, a movie dropped that forever changed the way suburbia viewed Los Angeles, California.
This week, John Singleton’s Boyz N The Hood celebrates its 20th Anniversary. What better occasion then that to feature a stand out track from its self titled soundtrack. Peep Ice Cube’s How to survive in South Central after the jump!
After watching the agonizing DMX episode of behind the music last night, I wanted nothing more then to remember some of my happy teen moments that were associated with his career.
How’s it goin down was the third single off of his debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, and happens to be one of my favorite songs from 8th grade.
sigh…Honestly….VH1 really messed me up with Earl’s episode. Had no idea he had been through so much as a child. I truly hope that he one day finds the peace his soul needs.
*BONUS* Watch another one of my fav DMX cut’s after the jump.

With downtown L.A as the video’s backdrop, Monica belts out her heart for the single that tuned out to be her third consecutive top 10 hit. Why I love you so much was on the singer’s 1995 debut album Miss Thang.
After the jump, check out my FAVORITE Monica song…Before you walk out of my life….aka the song you keep on repeat during a breakup if your a masochist.

In ’91 Eric B & Rakim made an appearance on the soundtrack for House Party 2. The radio friendly single What’s On Your Mind helped the sountrack to peak at number 55 on the Billboard 200 charts.
After the jump check out the song it was sampled from…. Midnight Star’s 1984 single, Curious + an extra lil surprise
In 1991, P.M. Dawn released Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience and spawned a #1 Billboard hit with Set Adrift on Memory bliss (which soon turned into an international hit, reach #3 on U.K charts). They dropped about 5 studio albums total from ’91-’00 but never quite found the success they reached with that single.
Oh how I LOOOOVED that song.
After the jump check out a bonus vid from the group. I’d die without you of of the Boomerang Soundtrack.
