The how was this song a hit thread

[5th Letter]

To this day I never understood how Ridin Dirty was so popular. How many people go out of their way to listen to this?

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Because it's a song about your haters watching you and hating. a universal concept

Also for those who pay attention heavily to the lyrics it's about police racial profiling.

The chorus is catchy and to add, the year it came out this beat was prime for radio replay. It had a little something for everyone as a track.

Not now but back then it stayed getting air play so people didn't have to go out of their way to hear it. It had a catchy hook that made you listen

MIMS, This Is Why I'm Hot is the song I have no clue how it became a hit. That song was trash

White people love Ridin Dirty for some reason...

I fucking hated This is Why I’m Hot when it came out and I still do.

I swear I thought I was the only person who felt this way towards this song lol.

White people love it tho. Probably because of the "fast rap/flow". White ppl love fast rappers for some reason.

I don't think it's a terrible song. It just didn't hit for me.

I'd bet the reason why ppl liked "This is why Im hot" was because of them beat switches in the first verse and the simple, repetitive hook.

That remix was tough tho. Eapecially because he was on it less.
