How did "Around the Way Girl" do on the other charts - Cashbox, Gavin Report, and R&R?

This became L's first Top 10 H100 hit back the year I was born in (1991). It sampled 3 different songs: Mary Jane Girls ~ All Night Long Keni Burke ~ Risin' To The Top The Honey Drippers ~ Impeach The President It was also one of the early high pitched sampled rap songs. touch.dailymotion.com/video/x220a2_ll-cool-j-around-the-way-girl_musicThe major highlight, for me, is how they synched all these songs & instrumentals in one really good song. That is a true art.

Probably my favorite LL song.
The Untouchables remix is hot too.

One of my favorites from LL Cool J and was probably the earliest song of his that I heard when I was younger (alongside "Mama Said Knock You Out"). Was played a lot on WGCI and B96 in my market with the former containing to play it as a recurrent/gold/old school cut for several years. Still one of his best songs.

This is my favorite remix. I will say it feels weird hearing the Mary Jane Girls sample slowed down to its normal pitch. I love the usage of the Alicia Myers' "I Want To Thank You".

my favorite LL song and one of my all time favorite Rap songs overall. Rap was so much better in the 80's and 90's than later decades.
