Doesn't mean they didn't have any other good songs but that was their only HIT.You can say the same for Warren G with "Regulate".

No way in hell are you telling me Baby Face, Monica, Brandy, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, or Ginuwine are 1 hit wonders.Props for mentioning Az Yet tho. That "Last Night" song was the shit.but a 1 hit wonder is some1 who makes a hit and then fades off into obscurity...hence the "wonder" part. so ahmed and skee-lo are 1 hit wonders. luniz, on the other hand, capitalized off their hit and became bay legends. thats far from a 1 hit WONDER.

I think there are two different definitions of a "one hit wonder" clashing here and Luniz exemplifies thatIf we're talking about artists who only crossed over once but still had a solid career within their movement (in that case bay area rap) with an established fanbase, a reputation and remained active, but were never able to duplicate their commercial success then yeah Luniz can be considered "one hit wonders", just like House of Pain (Jump), N2Deep (Back 2 the Hotel), Craig Mack (Flava In Ya Ear), Rappin' 4 Tay (Playaz Club in America, I'll Be Around in Europe and Australia), Souls of Mischief (93 Til Infinity), The Pharcyde, Digable Planets, etc.But I tend to agree with Scitt on that one, the "wonder" part is equally important. To me "one hit wonders" don't even have a career, they may have a couple of album funded by record execs who tried to capitalize on their former popularity, but they blew up and were really never heard of again, or they tried to go on but with such confidentiality that it wasn't even relevant (cf. Skee Lo's At The Mall (dope song) btw)).I think artists such as Volume 10, Ahmad, College Boyz, Lil Troy, Alfonzo Hunter, Tone Loc, Young MC, Sir Mix a Lot,
i dont think any1 ever said "i wonder where the luniz are"....they been active. if they a 1 hit wonder then what is skee-lo?
