Old School Hip Hop/R&B songs

[deltagirl_spr99]

It's been so long since I've posted to this board, I forgot my password. I am formerly known on Greek Chat as Spr99_Diva. What a shame... I worked so hard to get that "Senior Member" status.

That being said, I need everyone's help. I want to make an old school Cd. Please post your favorite old school hip hop/r&b songs. I am looking for anything prior to Biggie like 80's/early 90's. I'm looking for music that people had crazy dances too and funny looking clothes like 8 ball jackets and cross colors.

Here are a few to jog your memory:

Hip Hop Junkies (nice and smooth)
Push It (Salt N Pepa)
Da Butt (EU)
It Takes Two (Rob Base)

Thanks in Advance for your responses.
