2. Neneh Cherry - "Buffalo Stance" 1988 *It's hard not to sing aloud the part of the chorus that starts at 0:51, for me, maybe not you guys.
3. The Streets - "Let's Push Things Forward" 2002 *I don't love this song but the whole British rapper thing makes me like it.
4. The B-52's - "Roam" 1990 *This song and video are kind of painful to watch, I wouldn't recommend watching it except for the nostalgia factor. I don't think I would ever listen to this song for listening pleasure. I find myself questioning whether or not this category should just have nine songs.
5. 3rd Bass - "The Gas Face" 1989 *MC Serch was a turtleneck rapper.
6. Theophilus London - "I Stand Alone" 2011 *Dang, this song isn't that cool at all. The green screen action is the best part.
7. De La Soul - "Eye Know" 1989 *This song samples Steely Dan, how cool is that?
8. Monie Love - "Grandpa's Party" 1990 *Afrika Bambaataa has a cameo in this video.
9. Holy Balm - "Holy Balm Theme" 2012 *I saw this Australian band recently at the Jewelbox Theater. They were so incredible I bought the album. Their awesomeness isn't that obvious in this video or song. They have a tumblr.
10. Deee-Lite - "Groove Is In The Heart" 1990 *I saw one of the Deee-Lite djs at the Power Plant near the viaduct in the late 1990s. I had a mini raver phase in that era, but, someone told me once that I looked like I was dancing to Hip Hop (they did not think that was cool).
