The 50 Best Rap Songs by Women  39. J.J. Fad "Supersonic" (1988)
Album: Supersonic  While Ruthless Records has become synonymous
with N.W.A., J.J. Fad is really where the journey began for the
label. After the West Coast group shrunk from six members to
three, they linked up with Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and company, and
cultivated a fan base that was intrigued by their pop-sounding,
electro-influenced style. "Supersonic," the title track off
their debut album, was a catchy tune, albeit somewhat
simplistic, with the goal clearly to get a party grooving,
especially for the summer time. Both song and album went
platinum, but the track's impact expands beyond sales. Why else
would Fergie have sampled and paid homage to the track with her
hit single "Fergilicious?"  Tags: j_j_fad blog comments powered
