From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

“Respiration” is the second single from Black Star’s eponymously titled 1998 debut album. It features a guest verse from Common and guitar playing by DeChown Jenkins. The song is produced by Hi-Tek and samples “Theme from the Fox” by Don Randi.

Black Star, with a feature from Common, poetically describe the hard-knock life in New York, with the “Gangstas of Gotham”, and the oppressive “smog” of the city, which obscures the idea of purity.

“Just Another Day” was the 2nd single from Queen Latifah’s debut album Black Reign on Motown Records in 1993. The song interpolates samples from Herb Alpert’s “Making Love In The Rain” and Slick Rick’s “Hey Young World” as well as incorporating a displaced sample of Latifah’s young voice on her single 1988 “Princess of the Posse” rapping “in the place that I live.”

Teddy Riley was called in to produce remixes of the track for the single’s release.

This song got tons of airplay on in the PDX area (KNRK) back in the day, and now I mention it to people and they seem to not remember it at all.
