Featured Songs:
Ice Ice Baby / Vanilla Ice
They Call Me D-Nice / D-Nice
Whoot There It Is / 95 South
Whoomp, There It Is / Tag Team
My Boo / Ghost Town DJ's
Dazzey Duks / Duice
Show Notes:
For the D-Nice song, I mentioned that the Buzzsaw sample was a tiny one but that is clearly a research error as the sample is a large one and clearly a big part of the song.
