Upbeat 90s hip hop songs8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() You can’t talk about the 90s without mentioning one of the biggest boy band of all time. – Trey Blakely, reporter “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys (1999) Released in 1996 from the album Beautiful Freak. Although The Eels had a few other hits, there’s just something about the drop and jam and soundscape of this track that makes it timeless for me. I still pull this song out to show friends today. It’s got this indie, downtempo grunge vibe that’s been coming back lately, and I’m super into it. One of the first songs I ever fell in love with as a kid. – Katherine Rodriguez, audience engagement editor “Novocaine For The Soul” by Eels (1996) Dre and Queen Pen (1996)ĭespite the many contemporary versions, there’s nothing like Blackstreet’s original version of ‘No diggity.’ I’m not sure if it’s the lyrics, chorus, or the beat, but it is impossible not to sing to this song… It’s so catchy! – Alyssa Shotwell, online editor “No Diggity” by Blackstreet ft. I also like the specifics in the song like ‘CD-ROM’, ‘101 Dalmations’ and other things that indicate this song is from the ’90s. This song is really sweet and captures a moment not often sung about in music – a person becoming a parent. – Troylon Griffin II, assistant editor “Just The Two Of Us” by Will Smith (1997) That opening riff just evokes the feel of nineties alt rock and this song just provides true nineties nostalgia for those who were filled with love, angst, and little rock n’ roll. I think the second this song starts, one can see why it’s one of the greatest songs of the 90’s. – Brandon Peña, managing editor “Interstate Love Song” by Stone Temple Pilots (1994) As soon as the chorus hits you can easily find yourself singing along. Not only is this song ‘smooth’ but its one that gets stuck in your head. – Liz Davis, editor-in-chief “Smooth” by Santana ft. The second you hear the introduction to the song, you know it’s about to go down. While the ‘Magic Mike’ movies helped this song make a return to playlists, it’s always been on mine. Check out the list below and also the Spotify playlist for even more throwback jams. ![]() In honor of The Signal’s upcoming Signal Social: ’90s Bowl-back, the staff has compiled a list of their favorite songs from 1990 to 1999. ![]()
