Migos, "T-Shirt"

I miss the days when we could all rally together about kreayshawn

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

Kreayshawn Street Time will never die

oh fuck TEAM

goddammit sorry everyone

Here ya go... when "t-shirt" crosses the 57 million youtube view rubicon i will consider myself defeated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4

i would watch that but billboard just told me its ok to have lunch so ima do that

"Gucci Gucci" has 56.73M views over 5.5 years
"T-Shirt" has 25.88M views over 1 month

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.

oh god i already regret opening this pandoras box

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

gucci mane's lemonade has only 31 million views over 8 years i guess it wasn't a hit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Q4s_ZdvAQ

US Billboard Hot 100 53
US BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop 15
US Billboard Rap Songs 8

US Billboard Hot 100 57
US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop 62
US Billboard Rap Songs 18

is either of these a "hit" or nah

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

those numbers are Gucci Gucci and Lemonade lol

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?

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

itt: people who haven't realized that arguing with deej is as productive as it was arguing with geir

rain drops
drop tops
ELO's Jeff Lynne with the mop top

so hard to guess a hit these days

anyway, we all agree it's not a great song?

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.

those were the days

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?

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

obviously 't-shirt' is a better song than timmy turner

eh

I just listened to T-Shirt and it was catchy

Timmy Turner sounds like an intro or coda for another song but is ok

timmy turner is bad which is why designerr was thrown in the ocean

ok i am examining the spotify api and i didnt find anything about how they select tracks when u play an artist but check out these diff musical qualities theyve isolated https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/object-model/#audio-features-object

my fav is def either speechiness or valence

he was reaching for a burner / he fell into the ocean / now he get no emotion

What is real frog eyes?

and I'm loving all races, hell nah don't discriminize
drinkin' on clean, sanitize
ostritch seats with the frog eyes

scuse me while i kiss frog guys

does it matter whether or not the song is a hit if it owns? because...it owns

culture is for the culture

Apparently, you only think it owns. In deejality you only like it because of the hype.

lol i have not seen the music video; i just checked out the new migos album when i saw it on apple music's new music section, wa-boom

XXXXpost - thanks for clarifying frog eyes

i listened to this song walking to lunch, it felt so good to be listening to this infectious, relevant hit song on my earbuds, exchanging knowing smiles with people passing by, knowing they were also enjoying "T-Shirt" on this brisk winter's day

hahaha

amazing that a month into the year we already have the biggest hit song of 2017 in "T-Shirt"

today my boss stopped by my desk and asked if i liked the smash hit song tshirt and said i was fired if i didnt

I heard "T-Shirt" coming from seven cars in a row today!

I hope you took their license plates so you can track them down three months from now to see what they're playing then

When I got home from work today, my kid told me he had seventeen five but needed a ride up to KMart to pick out a matching shirt.

What color?

Just kidding; I, like everyone else in America, know all the words and reference points to our new national anthem, which is the amazing smash hit song "T-Shirt" by Migos.

Let us not forget that "T-Shirt" is etched onto the gold record on the Voyager space probe and will outlast human civilization.

genuinely hope you guys troll me hard enough that this ends up on some year end lists like a 2017 big boi solo album

Here we were worried about attracting new ppl onto the board, when clearly ILX has about 25 million lurkers atm

the trick I was supposed to meet tonight dropped me b/c I wasn't going to wear a t-shirt :(

i figured it would get excluded from year-end polls to give some other songs a chance.

lmao this thread is amazing
