I would support the playing of "U Can't Touch This" and "Ice, Ice Baby" in a limited manner, as appropriate for any kind of novelty hit, because those songs were iconic of the late '80s/early '90s pop music era.
Anything more than that, though, and you have to consider the reasons why stations like WPLJ purposely began to exclude Rap music from their playlists during that era. Besides, that's a bridge we have yet to cross. Right now, '90s music is exclusively "Fresh 102.7" territory for CBS in NY, and will be for some time to come.
