Push Play Monday turns 21-weeks-old today, so in honor of that, here is a playlist of old-school throwback jams you might have forgotten about. Whether it’s due to brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Adidas making the high school basketball star look cool again, or the rise of modern homage to the greats, old-school hip-hop and R&B is re-charting itself slowly but surely. Enjoy this list of landmark tracks from the turn of the century.

1) “Jumpin’ Jumpin'” by Destiny’s Child

Destiny’s Child was perhaps one of the most important things to emerge on the 1990s music scene. The group originally started in 1990 under the name Girl’s Tyme, when the group included six total members. By 2000, they became the trio of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams that most people now associate with the name Destiny’s Child. By the time they split in 2006, the group had sold over 35 million records worldwide, and became the starting ground for a few of the members as they embarked on solo careers.

2) “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)” by T-Pain feat. Yung Joc

In 2007, this song seemed to be on every radio in North America. T-Pain has been in the industry for more than 10 years now, becoming one of the first to turn auto-tuned musicality into a legitimate career. Between 2006 and 2010, his vocals could be heard on more than 50 chart-topping singles. Catch him on stage when he stops at Art Attack this spring.

3) “Whatta Man” by Salt’N’Pepa feat. En Vogue

Dating back to 1985, this trio is one of the predecessors of modern hip-hop. It was originally comprised of Cheryl James (“Salt”), Sandra Denton (“Pepa”) and Latoya Hanson, the latter being replaced by Deidra Roper (“DJ Spinderella”) only a year after the group began. The group took a hiatus from 2002 to 2007, but today is still actively creating songs as essential as this track.

4) “Gold Digger” by Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx

If you have been to any house party since this song dropped in 2005, chances are you have heard it enough times to memorize all the lyrics. The track was initially produced and recorded by Kanye West in Ludacris’s home in Atlanta, with the chorus written in a female first-person viewpoint so that artist Shawnna could use it, but she passed on it. Jamie Foxx’s chorus, which contains samples of Ray Charles’ “I Got a Woman,” was then added, and the final product was produced by film score producer, Jon Brion. It has since gone platinum five times.

5) “Mo Money Mo Problems” by The Notorious B.I.G. feat. Mase and Puff Daddy

You can’t talk about old-school hip-hop without talking about The Notorious B.I.G. Considerably one of the most influential rappers of all time, he died at age 24 in 1997 in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, Life After Death was released 16 days after his death, and was certified diamond in 2000.

6) “Hey Ma” by Cam’Ron feat. Juelz Santana, Freekey Zeekey and Toya

Contrary to popular belief, Drake wasn’t the first to popularize baby pink in the rap game. Harlem rapper Cam’ron started covering everything he owned in the color back in the early 2000s. He owned a pink Range Rover and was immortalized for that pink fur he rocked for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in 2002. This song is perhaps one of his most popular, being covered and sampled many times since its release.

7) “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy feat. Rikrok

Jamaican-American reggae fusion singer and DJ, Shaggy has been active in the music industry since 1992. He was discovered while singing in the streets of Brooklyn, where he relocated to at age 18. His 1996 album, Boombastic, which included some of his biggest hits, won the Best Reggae Album at the Grammy’s that year. This track is just one of those songs that never fully evaporates from the music scene, and is well worth a play or two for memory’s sake.

8) “No Scrubs” by TLC

This girl group consisted of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. They formed in Atlanta in 1990, and have since received five MTV Video Music Awards, five Soul Train Music Awards and five Grammy Awards. After Left Eye died in 2002, the remaining members continued to create music as only a duo, never replacing the former member. They are set to release another album this year, featuring unreleased vocals from Left Eye.

9) “Shake Ya Tailfeather” by Nelly feat. Diddy and Murphy Lee

Originally created for the Bad Boys II soundtrack, this song was then released as a single that topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Although the track only went gold, it won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2004, and still perhaps one of the recording artists’ most popular songs.

Push Play is reaching the end of its run for the semester as Finals Week approaches. The final installment of this column will come next week, chock-full of tracks to celebrate the closing of the semester.
