I was a huge Lauryn Hill fan; that was all my mom would listen to in the car.
You know, my era of DJing was the 90s. I think that was one of the best eras of music, period. From dancehall to hip hop to rock to pop to R&B to everything. I just like that era of music, so I just listen to a lot of 90s overall but definitely 90s hip hop.
Notorious B.I.G. was one of my favorites. I started getting into hip-hop around the Bad Boy era.
Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes in TLC, she stood out a lot with her rap. It was so different, the way she would flow.
My era was '90s Carhartt-and-Timberlands hip-hop. That's my rock n' roll.
I was a huge fan of '90s hip-hop, and a lot of what they got their music from was funk and soul records. They just, like, take a clip of that and rap over it because, you know, that was just kind of what was up.
Who doesn't love Tupac? Those records have such swagger to them. The groove is just incredible.
One of the things that's really the cornerstone of '90s hip-hop is sampling.
When I saw rappers in the '90s cameo in films - all of those '90s rappers - it seemed like whenever you chucked a rapper in a film, they could just act. It seemed like all rappers could act.
I still love 'Baby Got Back.' I will perform it until I drop.
