Good Morning Love Bugs!
I’m back today with a new playlist for the week! Since I can’t get enough of it, I’m keeping with my 90s theme and I’m bringing you The Best of 1998! There were soooo many good songs back in ’98 – it was really was such a great year musically! I had a very hard time narrowing down my song selection and I ended up with 14 songs.
As always, you can find all of my playlists on Spotify by simply clicking here!
Week 9 Playlist: The Best of 1998
1 The Boy Is Mine – Brandy & Monica
Classic!! How could we even talk about late 90s music without talking about this gem?! I must have watched this music video with Mekhi Phifer 8,000 times. And for the record, I prefer Monica but also love Brandy’s music – just think Monica was a bit more talented vocally!! How about you?
2. Still Not A Player – Big Pun feat. Joe
Always good and never tire of this song!
3. Are You Jimmy Ray? – Jimmy Ray
One of the best 90s one hit wonders.
4. What You Want – Mase feat. Total
Before Mase went on to be a minister he had a couple of really good songs, including this one!
5. Ray of Light – Madonna
I love Madonna and all but I can’t with the recent pics of her and her booty implants or injections. I mean c’mon already and just age a smidge! It’s ok!!
Ray of Light I looooove especially when she says something about zephyr in the sky – I can remember being like “what is a zephyr?” and getting out my dictionary to look it up! lol Kids these days don’t know how good they have it using google for everything! I had to literally pick up a heavy book and thumb through pages!!
6. Make ‘Em Say Uhh – Master P, Fiend, Silkk the Shocker, Mia X, Mystikal
Ok, the beginning of this song is hilarious and honestly, the fact that someone was even like let’s make up a song and call it “make ’em say uhh” and that people were really on board with it, is an accomplishment in itself. And honestly this song is GREAT. So catchy that it’s always on my workout mixes.
7. Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) – The Offspring
This song was everywhere in ’98! I never liked it that much, but I feel it’s too classic to be off this playlist!
8. How Deep Is Your Love – Dru Hill
This was the first song that made me like Sisqó and think that he was really talented. Of course he went on to really blowup once he left Dru Hill, but this is a classic 90s R&B hit.
9. You Get What You Give – New Radicals
Loved this song and was always kind of sad that it was this band’s only hit!
10. Daydreamin’ – Tatyana Ali, Lord Tariq, & Peter Gunz
I was sooooo excited when this song came out because the episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Ashley gets a recording contract and sings “Make Up Your Mind” is probably my most favorite episode ever! I was so happy when she came out with this fun, bubble gummy pop song! My best friend in 8th grade had her CD and we listened to this song way too much!
11. Doo Wop (That Thing) – Lauryn Hill
Great, catchy song with a timeless message.
12. Money Ain’t a Thang – Jermaine Dupri & Jay-Z
“Y’all wanna floss with us?” is one of my most fav song lyrics.
13. Take Me There – Backstreet, Mya, Mase, Blinky Blink
I never saw The Rugrats Movie but this song was so good and so popular!
14. Ghetto Superstar (That is What You Are) – Pras, ODB, Mya
Ending the playlist on a high note with one of the best collaborations of the 90s!
Which song is your fav?! So hard to pick just one!
Hope you have as good of a Monday as it can get 😉
