Tennessee - Arrested Development (1992)

"Tennessee" was the title of a number-one R&B single by alternative hip-hop group Arrested Development, from their album "3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life Of . . .". The song contains a sample of Prince's "Alphabet St.". The album's chart success was the beginning of the popularization of Southern hip-hop. "3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life Of . . ." stood in stark contrast to the gangsta rap that ruled the hip-hop charts in 1992, such as Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", in its focus on spirituality, peace and love. It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice critics poll. The album's title refers to the length of time it took Arrested Development to get a record contract. "Tennessee" topped the U.S. R&B chart for one week and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1993. A recent poll of VH1 viewers placed the song at number 71 on the list of the "Greatest Songs of the 90s" and is listed as one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was ranked number 78 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip-Hop. This channel is dedicated to all the great rap music from back in the day. The music that started the whole hip-hop revolution, the incredible music from the 70s, the 80s, and the early 90s . . . The Roots Of Rap are here!
