Early 90's hip hop was a vibe. Right smack dab in the middle of the Golden Age. Boom Bap style on the east coast, G-Funk on the west coast. Also the jazz fusion was present around that time. And the crossover hip hop/r&b sound of the New Jack Swing was in effect. I spent so much time in record stores like HMV in Square One, Traxx on Dundas St W in \Mississauga or downtown Yonge Street stores like Starsound, Sunrise or Sam the Record Man. There was also a store in the Rockwood Mall at Dixie & Burnhamthorpe where I would go to sell or buy used vinyl/CDs. Looking back I'm actually kinda shocked I never worked in one.
So in honor let's do a little medley here of one hip hop song released in each of 1990, 1991, 1992 & 1993

You Can't Play With My Yo Yo - Yo Yo feat. Ice Cube (1991)
