"kelly price" was the other one that sounded like a huge hit in waiting to me, as well as "t-shirt"
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 18:11 (seven years ago) link
I heard "T-Shirt" this morning on 99 JAMZ after J. Cole and it was like stepping into a room stinking of good weed after leaving one full of school kids farting.

wait why does streaming numbers not count into what is a hit?
isn't that the dominant form of music listening now?

lol i remember this board taking a very different position on this back in the kreayshawn era when it would have counted for something

but oh billboard hadn't told you it was ok to think it was a hit yet
I miss the days when we could all rally together about kreayshawn

Fake views, not a hit

I'm the "gucci gucci" uploader. Youtube keeps deleting it, this is the tenth time I've uploaded it. It's actually at 1.2 billion views.

no youtubes didn't get views as big back then
99% of gucci gucci's views were from the year it was a hit, as it is with many many songs
im glad you guys like t-shirt so much
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:38 (seven years ago) link

comparing pre- and post- streaming rule billboard charts is a fool's game

those numbers are Gucci Gucci and Lemonade lol
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:56 (seven years ago) link
wait deej:
kreayshawn's youtube views prove that youtube views are a metric of a song being a "hit"
but gucci's low youtube views prove that youtube views are NOT a metric of a song being a "hit"
do i have that right?
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:57 (seven years ago) link
I think he was saying kreayshawn was also a hit earlier, but it's hard to determine what stance he is very correct on, here

anyway, we all agree it's not a great song?
― niels, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 20:26 (seven years ago) link
It's a great song.

For the record, I always thought Gucci Gucci was a hit and got into many an argument with trad.rap people who argued that if I thought so I must be a hipster, making my opinion null and void.

more & more people began using streaming as time passed, youtube in 2009 got less views than in 2011, and by 2013 both were going to have a lower chart position than anything released after once streams were incorporated into chart position. At which point, there was some much needed adjusting cf records like black beatles & bad & boujee jumping higher in the charts, as well as ridiculous overcompensation / game-playing, cf timmy turner.
obviously 't-shirt' is a better song than timmy turner but it also is relatively minor compared w/ the song that brought them back, and is benefitting greatly from its success & the perceived migos comeback
