At the dead end of ’98, I moved back into Baltimore City, after spending about seven months out in the ‘burbs at my brother’s place. Within the first two weeks, I’d had a drunk pass out in front of my door and almost got caught in the crossfire of some nigga tryna shoot it out with the cops. Yeah, it was good to be back.

Aight, so… I was in my senior year of high school, and the first few months of my year was some ol’ bullshit. I had a lil’ beef with this kid, and for whatever reason, my teachers acted like I was some kinda bully tormentin’ the nigga. On five different occasions between September and December, I was suspended, even havin’ to stay home for two weeks straight at one point. They’d gotten their hands on a tape I made and interpreted the lyrics to be some type of threat on the dude’s life, when it really wasn’t that serious. If I told y’all the extent to which this shit went, you’d be amazed that some people who work for a school could be so dumb.

O-Kay… so we’ve passed the halfway mark of the Winter Six series, and it continues on this week with the year of 1995. For the record, there’s a LOT of songs that coulda made this but didn’t. Breaking it down to the main six, these are the ones I came away with. But before we get to that…

So… as we come to the last post of January on DanjLovesThe90s, I hope y’all have been enjoyin’ this Winter Six thing so far. For this one, we slide into 1993, which was a transitional year both for hip-hop and myself.

Aight… it’s ’92, so what you won’ do…
Between ’90 and ’91, I’d had a total of four different addresses. Finally in December ’91, we moved into an apartment in South Baltimore, where I stayed for the next five years. To be honest, I really don’t remember much else about the winter of ’92 outside of that. I do recall my Chicago Bulls jacket that you couldn’t tell me wasn’t the shit, and that I was still a huge wrasslin’ fanatic who was the only Ric Flair stan in my class. Then, there’s the time I went nuts when we got cable, and that’d be about it. However, if there’s one thing I vividly recollect (as always), it’s the music. In addition to the entire Juice soundtrack, which I managed to have before I’d even seen the movie, these were the six OTHER songs I couldn’t stop listening to. I bet’cha remember:

Aight, so… it was a lil’ quiet around here this week. I had to take a lil’ time to recharge the batteries, and now shit’s back to life. And with that, DLT90s continues with the 1991 edition of the Winter Six series.
The winter of ’91 was a different thing. I was in sixth grade, back around my old neighborhood, known as “The Lake”, after moving away a couple years prior. I was back chillin’ with my friends from elementary school, but wasn’t going to the same middle school as them. My time in Westport was a suspension-filled experience, so I ended up going to an “alternative” school with all the niggas with “behavioral and emotional problems”. Either way, I still looked forward to Fridays- because even though I didn’t go to the middle school, I could still go to their dance every week (and I went to damn near every one). Rest of the time, I was in my brother’s room, either recording music off the radio or “borrowing” his tapes. It was around this time that I started something that eventually became one of my most recognizable traits- being any and everywhere with my headphones on. Here’s some of what I was listening to:

In the timeless words of Ghostface, “his shape-up was ALL fucked up!” And with that, I begin the Winter Six- my own photographic memory along with six of my favorite songs from each year, which will be featured here every Friday until March. Checkitouuut:
