21 Throwback Jams
Various Artists


With a slammin’ Ginuwine slow-jam (“Pony”), TLC’s homage to living on the down-low (“Creep”), and an R. Kelly paean to booty-shaking (“Bump n’ Grind”), this album is the ultimate collection of ’90s R&B. Present are the decade’s best sunny pop anthems in DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s bouncing “Summertime” and SWV’s ebullient “Right Here,” while the hypnotic bars of Nas’ “One Love” and the flawless production of Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” rep for the hip-hop congregation.
