'98 | Even worse, if I was broke, would you want me?

Jay's classic banger featuring a then-unknown Ja Rule and Amil. Featured for the Rush Hour soundtrack.

"Bounce wit me, bounce me."

'97 | They won't let you remember

Do not front and act like you did not rock to this as a kid. You know you copped some Dollar Store frames to study the four-step routine at the end of the video. Will Smith is dope. Point blank period. Pop, but dope nonetheless and a definite hip-hop pioneer. My dad even bought Big Willie Style. I don't remember any other songs except the singles, but i digress.

'01 | Even though he's thuggin'

Does anyone else remember this soulful single from LovHer. I remember seeing the video on BET all the time. I guess it was on the Rush Hour soundtrack.

'91 | Am I My Brother's Keeper?

I have to admit I just saw this film the other day. (a decade late=FAIL) Nonetheless, it still has the same impact. Mario Van Peebles just didn't make a film; he constructed a living, breathing PSA on behalf of the inner city to the American public. New Jack City brought the rising demise of black life to the hands of crack/cocaine to theater screens nationwide. And while previous urban flicks before left the viewer to hold his/her own opinion toward ghetto life, Peebles stapled his message repeatedly throughout the film, cementing it in the climatic final scene (!SPOILER ALERT! - if you have not seen the end of film do not click on link). Wesley Snipes is chillingly alluring as the villainous Nino Brown; the life-robbing hood who both uplifts and enslaves the poor. And Ice T is surprisingly natural as Scotty Appelton, the from-the-hood officer out to save his community. Equally majestic is the soundtrack. Crafted to match the new jack swing sound of the early 90s, the track list boasts the likes of Color Me Badd, Levert, Today and Queen Latifah, and Christopher Williams.

'92 | Don't make me close one more door

I've never seen the movie all the way, but who really needs to see Whitney play a singer. Personally, I know Dolly's song was the big hit from The Bodyguard, but this was always my favorite. Right ahead of the new jack attempt and possibly behind the Chaka cover.

'88 | Let me take you to a place I know you wanna go

Inner City with "The Good Life" which I never heard until '97 in Beverly Hills. Still love the track.

'04 | This is de-di-ca-ted to the lover

Sick throwback jam off the Barbershop 2 Soundtrack 'Dre kills it and Sleepy's voice is too cool.

'92 | And I'mmmmm Freeeeeee

I believe this was the New Jack remix, but its definitely the better version of the two. The flirtatious tag back between Janet and Luther is classic. From the Mo' Money Soundtrack. Goes hard.

8709 Special | Romeo Must Die

Can't say that I've seen the movie, (FAIL i know) but the soundtrack was a beast. Boasting work from Timbaland and the Supafriends, hit after hit kept fans bumping for the entire year. Some of Mosley's best work with Aaliyah appeared on this album. Tim sought that crunk sound with the banger "We At It Again" featuring Static and Beat Club artist Sebastian. Aaliyah @ 1:54 is sexy as hell. The chemistry between DMX and Ms. Haughton was electric on this track. Another timeless shot of Babygirl @ 1:27. The mid-tempo ballad from the A-A-L-I-Y-A-H. Always thought the way she weaved the words in the verses was so dope. The biggest hit in Aaliyah's catalog. It was her gigantic return from 99's "Are You That Somebody' and was her stepping stone for super stardom.

'96 | Baby, I'm about to explode

There's something about this song that gets me every time. Hot off The Nutty Professor soundtrack; classic bedroom banger. Doesn't hurt that the beat is bananas.

'95 | I LOVE THIS MOVIE

Taking it back to the old school when Disney could do no wrong and the dollar cinema still existed. "A Goofy Movie" detailed the story of Goofy and his teenage son Max, and the journey they take to understand each other as father and son, and as individuals. Funny film, but better theme song. Tevin Campbell's "I 2 I" finished out the film's climatic ending as Goofy crashed the concert of Max's favorite artist, and stole the show with that funny-looking fishing dance. Video belongs to Disney

'99 | Wicki-wicki Wild

As campy as it may have been, Will Smith could do no wrong in the late 90s. The song was a hit and adding Sisqo (another 90s staple at the time) to the mix was irresistible. Plus the Stevie interpolation is what makes it stick in your head.

'09 | Jai Ho!

Jai Ho - Slumdog Millionaire (English Subs) Uploaded by aka71691

I just finished watching 2009's Best Picture Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire" and was wowed, not only by the heartfelt story of endless love through hardships, but by the soundtrack. The music was excellent, and the ending dance in the train station to A. R. Rahman's "Jai Ho" was captivating. I will definitely be purchasing this soundtrack.
