Goat Rap One Hit Wonder Nomination Thread

[5th Letter]

Did this chart? And did any other Gangstarr jams chart? If yes and no... this has to be the winner.

Mass Appeal

 

[konceptjones]

Damn... This is one of BDK's worst songs ever, but the shit peaked at #31

No, it didn't chart.

GangStarr had two songs that charted: Mass Appeal and You Know My Steez.

 

[konceptjones]

To be honest, I'm surprised that G Rap had even one single that charted, but I guess out of all of them, this makes the most sense.

 

[konceptjones]

Same with Eiht: I'm surprised he ever charted, but this one makes sense.

Shame cause he's probably the most influential rapper ever

 

[Sky Davis]

This actually doesn’t count

Rich Boy had more than one song chart

 

[Chi-Town B]

Rich Boy had more than one song chart

What song charted?

 

[Gray Matter]

These made the Billboard 100, dont recall a single from them making it again...

WACKED.

Lords of the Undergound should NOT be on a list like this.


Neither should Nice & Smooth.

 

[konceptjones]

What song charted?

"Boy Looka Here" hit #116, so technically "Throw Some D's" fits if the criteria is that it had to hit the Hot 100.

 

[Gray Matter]

Rules: The song has to be the only song to ever reach the Billboard Hot 100 by the artist.

This is not a good criterion.

Even if Nice & Smooth only had one song to reach the Billboard Hot 100, they were a well known group with a ton of a fans back in the day. Same with Lords of the Undergound, to a slightly lesser extent.

It's like this. If you are old enough and into hip hop at the time, you would know immediately that any criteria that would place Nice & Smooth on a one-hit wonder list are shit.

 

[Gray Matter]

Blasphemous.

Biz ain't no one-hit wonder.

Fool.

 

[Gray Matter]

How could Nice & Smooth be a one-hit wonder when they were a fairly big group in hip hop back in the day?

Fuck a Billboard hit.

These dudes did not just appear on the scene and the disappear as some others.

 

[Gray Matter]

hard to believe these dudes only had one song that charted and it was this one.

Y'all driving me crazy now.

FUCK outta here.

Kid & Play ain't no one hit wonder.

 

[Gray Matter]

Ok, this just blew my fuckin mind...





^^^ This was their ONLY Top100 single ever, which is crazy as hell.

I would give you a 1000 wacks for this if I could.




If this doesn't prove that the billboard 100 measure of 'one-hit wonder' is dumb I don't know what would.

 

[konceptjones]

FUCK outta here.

Kid & Play ain't no one hit wonder.

I looked each one up that I posted: Kid N Play had ONE song that made the Hot 100. They had joints that landed on different charts, but only one song made the Hot 100: "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody".

It's really easy to google them shits like I did.

 

[Chi-Town B]

"Boy Looka Here" hit #116, so technically "Throw Some D's" fits if the criteria is that it had to hit the Hot 100.

It just missed the hot 100 though

It's a measure of how widespread the music made it into the mainstream. Personally Rakim is The God MC and greatest MC of all time as far as I'm concerned and he got tracks for days that should be revered as classics, but only one of his joints has ever made the Hot 100.

 

[Gray Matter]

If I can recall correctly, this is a one-hit wonder from way back.




Did it make the Billboard top 100?

Doubt it, and it doesn't matter.

Again, the criterion put forward by the O/P is not a good one.

And some of the y'all ain't no youngin. Y'all should know better.

Nope, it didn't make it.

What's Up Doc and Breakdown did hit the Hot 100.
