Luniz - One hit wonders??

[R-Tistic]

I just want to see what y'all would say about this...

This past week, 106 and park's old school joint of the days had a theme this week, bein one hit wonders. Well on Friday, the one hit wonder that they showed was Luniz, I got five on it.

Now bein that we are west coast, we know that they definitely aren't one hit wonders in our eyes, but to the rest of the nation who is only up on commercial rap, I guess they would be, even though they had a few other singles and all.

Since we see that they are considered 1 hitters by the nation, what other rappers from the west coast do you think are probably considered one hit wonders, even though they may not be to us?

-2nd II None - If you want it
-Hi-C - Puppet (somebody from St. Louis was talkin bout 1 hitters and he mentioned him)
-Militia - Burn
-Lady of Rage - Afro Puffs
-Skee-lo - I wish (well even we would call him a 1 hit wonder)
-Ahmad - Back in the days
-Soulfs of mischief - 93 til infinity (would u say they were to us?)
-LAD - Ridin Low (who remembers this track? you might only know about it if you aren't from LA)
-TQ - Westside (if it was a hit)
-Digital Underground - Humpty hump (some people do think they were one hitters)

Definitely not the case...Fuck the police was the song that made everybody turn their heads, even though it wasn't a radio hit. But you would never ever hear anybody from any coast say that they were one hit wonders.

[mrtonguetwista]

Yeah..but one hit wonders are hits on the radio/tv.  It's not like they had a radio friendly version "Gosh-darn The Police"

LOL. I see what you mean but people knew about the song, and most of the time, people consider one hit wonders as the ones you see with one big song, and never hear from em again. Even if that was their only big big hit, people would never call them one hit wonders.

How bout Eiht--"Growin Up In Tha Hood"

[youngmessnucca]

i dont consider luniz 1 hit wonders....they had 2 albums after 5 on it and yuk is consisntently putting the best music from the Bay

[M Dogg™]

Commercially, Digital Underground is far from one hit wonders. Dowatchalike and Same Song were also huge hits. There was a thread like this just last week... lol. Last one got heated as to what was a one hit wonder. I agree with everyone else except Digital Underground, M.C. Eiht and N.W.A., because the Underground was just huge M.C. Eiht also had Straight Up Menace that is actually more known than Growin' Up In Tha Hood, and N.W.A.'s commerical songs were Express Yourself and Always Into Something. Also, Efil4zaggin was double platnum, so their sales did not show one hit wonder. There is a difference between one hit wonder, and being ban from the radio... lol.

[Low Key]

TQ had 2 hits. After Westside was on the radio, the played Bye Bye Baby for a little bit. More of a two hit wonder. Hopefully his new CD will change that.

[Sikotic™]

Out of that list, the only person who isn't a 1 hit wonder is TQ. Plus I'm sure he's gonna have more hits in the future.

[nibs]

efil4zaggin sold like 900k copies in it's first week out.  how could n.w.a. be one hit wonders?

and rage is a fucking goddess. 

that one hit wonder shit is silly anyway, because most of the multi-hit icons of present day (and the past as well) are garbage.

106 & park should dedicate a week to "bomb ass shit that the ignorant, fickle ass public slept on; and the bullshit ass hip-hop media hated on" and then i'll respect them.

[Darksider]

well being a one hit wonder in the rap industry is a good thing...99%% of the rappers never had a hit

[Eddie G.]

Luniz aren't one hit wonders, wasn't "Just Me N U" pretty big too?
