Ludacris, LL Cool J and Keith Murray (2001)

Billboard Hot 100: #87
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #32
Hot Rap Tracks: #6

The song that made the term "badunkadunk" popular

"Goodness gracious good god almighty, you got a badunkadunk girl don't hurt nobody!"

Classic. lol



P.S., you'd think that they would actually have some, I don't know....FATTY GIRLS in this video, since the song is titled "Fatty Girl". Maybe it's because I'm from the midwest, but those chicks looked pretty slim to me.

Amerie - Talkin' To Me (2003)

Kris Kross - Alright (1993)

Billboard Hot 100: #19
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: 8
Hot Rap Tracks: #1

The first single from their second album "Da Bomb". I don't know why most people consider Kris Kross one hit wonders. "Jump" was by far their biggest hit, but they had three more Top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. This was one of them.

Silk - Hooked On You (1995)

Billboard Hot 100: #54
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #12

The official 1st single from their self-titled second album. It wasn't a huge hit, but it was hot.

New Edition - Hit Me Off (1996)

Billboard Hot 100: #3
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #1

At the time, this was the first single New Edition released as a group in 7 years. "Hit Me Off" is New Edition's highest charting single to date on the Hot 100, peaking at #3. It was topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart for three weeks.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Look Into My Eyes (1997)

Billboard Hot 100: #4
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #4
Hot Rap Tracks: #2

When you think of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, the first song that comes to mind is "Tha Crossroads". The next song to come to mind is probably "1st of Tha Month", and after that you'll probably think of "Thuggish Ruggish Bone", "For Tha Love of $", their comeback hit "I Tried", and you'll probably name some album cuts before you think of this song. It was the second highest charting single of their careers behind "Tha Crossroads" and the single went platinum, but it seems like most people forget about "Look Into My Eyes" when they talk about BTNH's most popular songs.
