I first heard this song coming back from my first bridges retreat fall 2005. It swarmed throughout the whole bay area and put it on the map in regards to hip hop music.
This song reminds me of every party, club, dance, campus event throughout college. It played everywhere and it never got boring. we would all get hyphy, do dumb, and show our thizz face everywhere we go!
I chose this remix specifically because it reminds me of a party bus that DD organized when we graduated. He made a cd and this song was on it. Every time I hear this version of the song, it reminds me of that crazy night!

This song is a remake of the original song by Fleetwood mac. I chose this song with the smashing pumpkins because I first heard this song with them. I remember when I first moved to Berkeley and had to say goodbye to my parents and my brother, who was 3 years old at the time, I went into my empty dorm room to wait for my other two roommates. The only thing that went through my head was whether or not I made the right decision in leaving everything I knew to come to school.
This song came on and caused me to really think about what I was doing and how I am really afraid of changing. I started listening to music and this song came up on my itunes and it totally conceptualized my life into realizing that this is just a change I have to do. It made it a little easier to ease my emotions every time the vision of my brother crying in the backseat as my parents drove off the underhill parking next to my dorm came into my head. After I heard the song three times, I knew I made the right choice. I then started to watch a DVD in my computer and that was when DD walked in and my college life started.
still afraid of changes,

This song was a smash hit. Haha this song also reminds me of summer of 2006 when it came out and NV was ALL ABOUT IT. He practiced making his hips stop lying everyday. This culminated in a Shakira concert in oakland. It was amazing. She is an amazing performer and entertainer. This song brings memories of good music and days of seeing NV turn into a giddie little kid when she first got on stage!

This song is off the Batman soundtrack. My cousin SM LOVED this song and would always play it. It got to the point where the music video overshadowed the movie. Haha I remember this was a song she made me memorize to "help me do better in school" by "improving my memory". Silly me believed her and she tested me every other day haha. Here is to tricking the younger children in the family!

This song is hilarious. The lyrics are funny and fun. This song has many memories but one that sticks out to me was when this song came on during a trip to UCSA Congress in 2007. DJ, myself and other people were in the car when this song came out and I started to sing it. I told DJ that by the end of my term, she would be fluent in Spanish. We had a funny conversation about it. I have to say that when I graduated, she was not fluent, but it was to think that she would!

Haha, so when I first heard this song, I found it really intense. So intense that I would mock that "smacking" in the song. It was funny how I enjoyed this song so much and everyone around me would laugh because they remembered how stupid I would act when it came one. Regardless, it reminds me of the good times LB, MD, and JE and myself had in those random Costco trips, east oakland taco trucks, and clubs in SF.
Smacking it all on the floor,

This song is known as the theme song to the television show "O.C.". Now, I never watched the show (seriously). But I remember my freshman year in college, ERRRone on my dorm floor was into this show. I remember I can find everyone sitting in RS's room watching them. My roomate, DD, would also be hooked on it and would BLAST that song almost every morning. At first it was annoying, but because he played it so much, it started being a soundtrack to the crazy shit we would do in the dorms like play pranks on people, annoy stupid ass floormates, and many more stupid shit.
california how i miss you,

Here is another good song. This one takes me back to times when my older cousins would blast this throughout our house. This song was actually the first song that I payed attention to (mainly because at first "one headlight" didn't make sense). I remember we would blast this throughout the house as we cleaned up. Our moms would be annoyed because they didn't like the blasting music but they were happy because that would be the only way we would clean :)
with one headlight,
