1992 was a good year for me, I was 17 and one year into my DJing gig. I did it for fun, not be someone big and I did it because at the time I was (still am)a huge Hip Hop fan. 1992 was politically an interesting year, it was the year the Reagan coalition collapsed when after Bush I’s anemic economic record, Economic Conservatives went over to Perot. This allowed Bill Clinton to get elected.

Musically saw Grunge take off and Hip Hop become the pre-eminent club music in Urban and suburban areas. There were many good songs from soundtracks. My favorite movies were Juice, White Man Can’t jump, Deep Cover, Boomerang and Zebra Head. Good times and great memories.

Scenario by Tribe Called Quest was my favorite track of the year. To this day, this song gets people jumping in clubs.

Scenario remix came out a few weeks after and was strictly a club banger

Here’s another club banger Party Groove by Showbiz and AG.

Here’s Dre and Snoops’s first collaboration from the Deep Cover soundtrack. This was a West Coast track that had acceptance in the New York scene.

This was Snoop and Dre’s 2nd track of 1992, off the now classic Chronic. Ain’t nothing but a G thang!

From the Juice soundtrack, here’s a classic NY club banger. Uptown Anthem by Naughty by Nature.

Also from the Juice soundtrack, here’s Eric B. and Rakim’s Know the Ledge.

From Zebra head Queen’s finest Nasty Nas, whom I had the pleasure to met and DJ for. This was the song that put him on a national level. It’s Half Time.

Now comes Strong Island’s finest Pete Rock and CL Smooth. This song reminds me of all the people I lost, They Reminisce over you.

From White Men can’t jump which stared Rosie Perez, Woody Harrelson and Weslie Snipes comes this song from Main Source. Like Nas, they were from QUeensbridge projects which was the hood right next to mine. Here’s faking the funk.



For my Irish peeps, here’s House of Pain’s Jump Around. This is The Pete Rock remix which was very popular in the clubs. The Irish Kats in my hood really loved this track.

This track reminds me of when I did gigs down in South Beach. 2 Live Crew’s I Want to Rock!

Cypress Hills Hand on the pump.

From Mary J Blidge’s first album. This is my favorite track of it, What’s the 4111 featuring Grand Puba. This was on the B-Side to Real Love. This was the side of the single played in the clubs.

From Strong (Long) Island here’s Das Efx with They want EFX.

Here’s one of my favorites and I met these rappers. Lords of the Underground’s Birth of the Funky child.

So many memories of that era. I know most of you don’t like this music. However it was part of my life and I still look fondly towards those years. Special shout out to Brick, real recognize real, we lived during a great era. Special birthday shout out to Natasha tonight.
