[KINGCZAR]

Man sum of these are wrong!!

Digital Underground's Humpty Dance wasnt there only hit. Remember Freaks of the Industry, and Same Song. Those were hits to. As well as Biz Markie, he also had a hit called "Vapors", and "Its Spring Again". Sir Mix-A-Lot had another called "Posse's On Broadway", and "My Hoopty"..

I will add a couple more....
Pharcyde "Pass Me By"
Tone Loc "Wild Thing"
Tim Dog "Fuck Compton"
A.P.G. "Action Packed Gangstas"
