I Was Just Reading The 2001 Post, And I Noticed (Again) That The Songs People Claim Are They're Favorites On An Album Almost Always Are The Singles.
I Think It Just Goes To Show That If You Are Force Fed A Song Enough, You'll Grow To Like It.
Does Anybody Else Feel That? Like You Got Hundreds Of People Here Saying "Nothin' But A G Thang" Was Classic, Greatest of All Time Stuff, Etc. , But The Song "The Day The Niggaz Took Over" In My Opinion Was Just As Good, And Nobody Ever Mentions It, Because It Wasn't A Single.
Also, I Can't Tell You How Many Times I Didn't Like A Song, Then After Hearing It Hundreds Of Times On The Radio, Started Liking It, Because It Became A Small Part Of My Day To Day Life.
Anybody Else Agree?

Absoloutely
Because when you put The Chronic in and track 5 or 2 or 7 or 3 come on, you picture the video and the memories

i guess an advantage of living in Canada is that not hearing rap on the radio entitles me to my complete independent opinion haha but yeah i do completely agree with you. with a little brother that likes to listen to all the pop radio stations along with my mom i will find myself hating every new song i hear but in a few weeks i'll admit im singin along! pisses me right off!
-
i agree, but it depends on the fan. obviously the person who listens to radio/mtv will like the singles more, but underground heads like myself might like other tracks more instead
all down to personal taste i guess
-
For some reason, singles get on my nerves and I just skip through them on the CD...Maybe cuz they use Popish stuff for the single...
-
i never listen to the radio,and they dont play rap on any stations here anyways,and i never really take much time to watch videos on mtv or bet ,i just like a song cuz i like it
-
if i like a song i like it, somtimes i'll not pay attention to a song that much becuase it sounds like it'll be corny becuase of the begining of the song sounds a bit corny, but once i hear it i'll think boy was i wrong...but i dunno if i feel a song i feel it
usually when an artist releases a song as a single it's usually one of the best songs on the album that's becuase singles and video are 3-5 minuite commericals for an album and you want the best to be released to get the people to buy
-
Alot of times songs are better after they grow on you. Sometimes, on an album like 2001, the singles are easily the best songs, but after hearing a popular song so much, it helps you appreciate the lesser known songs more.
-
I don't listen to singles much on my cd because they usually play it out on the radio so much that it elimates it's shelf life. (forgot about dre) I pay attention to all of the songs. I don't just buy albums for singles.
