One hit wonders are artists who have 1 hit and are never heard from again .. Legends typically don't fall in that category. They may only have 1 hit (tho one can argue "playa hata" was a hit as well), but they most def ain't wonders

Yeah Luniz are defintely a 1 hit wonder. 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". "I Want it All" made some noise but wasn't necessarily a hit.

I think you two missed the 1 HIT WONDER part. 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.

I disagree. Yes, Regulate was by far Warren G's biggest hit, but This DJ was big too. His later albums also had a number of singles that at least got some radio rotation.

That one crossed my mind, but I couldn't remember how big of a hit it was. I only remembered seeing it on BET, but I remember Jackie Chan being in it and looking corny when trying to dance alongside Warren G and the singer (Adina Howard?).

TQ- westside
Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows It
The Twinz - Eastside LB
Lady of Rage - Afro Puffs
Do Or Die - Po Pimpin
A few that popped into my head, I'd agree that Luniz was definitely a one hit wonder. Although Coolio had other hits, LV, the singer from Gangstas Paradise certainly didn't.

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.

Id have to agree that Luniz were 1 hit wonders...they may have became legends in the bay but
outside of the bay they only really had "I got 5 on it" that was a big hit.
But i see that people have different opinions on what a 1 hit wonder is so it depends which way you look at it
I saw earlier that somebody put "PM Dawn - Moving On Up" in the 1 hit wonder pile...you must have forgot about "Set a drift on memory bliss"...id say that was their biggest track :)
-
Look, I just put up 90's hits that MADE the artist....
Regardless of the fact that some of these ppl forged formidable careers before, during or after these hits does not dismiss the fact that these are the songs they are best known for in the 90's, other songs having much less chart impact if any at all...
I didn't think it was worth arguing the "wonder" part as I thought the author of this thread was just looking to make a mix tape or something...
-
I think there are two different definitions of a "one hit wonder" clashing here and Luniz exemplifies that
If 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,
-
who were the ones who did that annoying laffy taffy song bout 10 years ago

I think artists such as Volume 10, Ahmad, College Boyz, Lil Troy, Alfonzo Hunter, Tone Loc, Young MC, Sir Mix a Lot,
I agree with most of that. However, Tone Loc had 2 Top-3 hits. Wild Thing (2) and Funky Cold Medina (3). In pop culture, I've heard more references to Funky Cold Medina out of the 2. 2 albums and he was done musically. One album wonder....
For me, the first song I think of when I hear about Sir Mix-A-Lot is "Posse on Broadway." It came out in '88. It was a moderate hit, but nowhere near the mainstream magnitude of "Baby Got Back." People that aren't really Hip-Hop fans will know that record. That's what the term "One Hit Wonder" really applies to. It doesn't mean that an artist isn't good or doesn't have enjoyable material, it just didn't blow up.
I remember watching a VH-1 show some years back with "Two-Hit Wonders" and they had Digital Underground on there. "Humpty Dance" and "Kiss You Back" As a fan, it's like what about Doowutchyalike, Same Song or Oregano Flow? They got video/radio play, but weren't crossover hits like the other 2.

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?

Sccit is crying but that is the truth... unless your influenced by heavy drug use enough to like Bay Area music—then the Luniz are one hit wonders with "I Got 5 On It".
...on the other hand Sccit is on point about Ahmad- "Back In The Days". Off the top of my head—that's probably the only one of all these one hit wonder joints that I still bump to this day. There's one other Ahmad song I play from time to time and that was his joint on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack was aiight as well. I was always curious about what the rest of his album sounded like but never bothered. But much props to dude, he seems cool.

yea bro im hurt because u think luniz are a 1 hit wonder, thanks for opening my eyes so i could read about making hits
The term one-hit wonder is most often used to describe music performers with only one Top 40 hit single or for having one signature song which overshadows their other work.
I Got 5 On It was #8 on the charts. No other single of the Luniz made the top 40. Now their single Playa Hata did get to #13 on the rap charts and #51 on the R&B charts. But the Luniz only had one song on the top 40 pop charts, which means they are technically a One Hit Wonder.

Gangstas paradise
Coolio actually had a number of songs in the Top 40, including 1,2,3,4 (Sumpin' New) and Fantastic Voyage. Now was his time on top pretty short, yeah. Basically it was 18 months that peaks with Gangsta's Paradise. But in that 18 months, he put out a ton of music and capitalized on his success.
Puff n B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems
Seriously? Really? First off, Mo Money Mo Problems was a Notorious BIG song, and BIG already had top 40 tracks.
And Puffy, because someone said I'll Be Missing You, Puffy had at least 6 or 7 songs in the top 40. All About the Benjamins, Victory, Shake Your Tailfeather, I Need A Girl, Been Around the World, and lately Coming Home are just off the top of my head.

His got a point
-
Sccit is crying but that is the truth... unless your influenced by heavy drug use enough to like Bay Area music—then the Luniz are one hit wonders with "I Got 5 On It".
...on the other hand Sccit is on point about Ahmad- "Back In The Days". Off the top of my head—that's probably the only one of all these one hit wonder joints that I still bump to this day. There's one other Ahmad song I play from time to time and that was his joint on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack was aiight as well. I was always curious about what the rest of his album sounded like but never bothered. But much props to dude, he seems cool.
Where is Ahmad (Faded off into obscurity).....Where is the Luniz (just released an album 20 years after "I got five on it")
U don't like bay music because u use music for nostalgia purposes and don't listen wit an open heart.. Plus, u usually only skim through albums, which doesn't help.

LOL I can't really agree or disagree if somebody says Luniz are a "one hit wonder" in terms of commercial success but to say they aren't legends and haven't dropped more than a few classic joints just shows plain ignorance
Operation Stackola was a classic album overall... and they had "Hypnotized" with Redman out after that album which I'm sure got some burn on MTV/BET

As I did mention, technically when it comes to the pop charts, yes Luniz are One Hit Wonders. Now are they still legends and NOT One Hit Wonders in the hip-hop world? Of course. They are in this little grey world that says they are One Hit Wonders, but they've had a huge impact in hip-hop.
For the record, all of these people listed, I'd call One Hit Wonders. What's funny is Rob Bass and DJ EZ Rock (My personal favorite of that list) is only barely a One Hit Wonder because It Takes Two got to as high as 38 on the pop charts. LOL. And Vanilla Ice, my least favorite on that list, is actually not a One Hit Wonder because he got more than 1 top 40 hit, but you can argue one song did over shadow his whole career.
So I guess it all is how you look at it. Sccit likes to look at it from a more in-depth hip-hop perceptive. In that case, the Luniz are legends. For the TECHNICAL term of One Hit Wonders, the Luniz fit in like a glove. They flouted around the underground, bubbled with their one hit and had a almost hit follow up and then went back to the underground. Many One Hit Wonders have done that. Some rock head right now is arguing that Crash Test Dummies is NOT a One Hit Wonder since they were influential a Canadian folk music rock band. But no one who doesn't listen to folk rock can't name a song outside of " Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" and they had no other song in the top 40. (Though I LOVE Superman's Song, that's one great song.) So yeah, to hip-hop heads, Luniz can't be a One Hit Wonder, but if you get technical and use the definition that is used for a One Hit Wonder, then yes they are.
-
Yeah Luniz are definitely one hit wonders in technical terms but i know where Sccit is coming from.
From an underground hip hop stand point they are not one hit wonders...this is where the term "one hit wonder" comes blurred
and people have different opinions on what it means
Interesting topic though 8)

are DPG one hit wonders for "NY NY"? is Schoolboy Q technically a one hit wonder with "Man Of The Year" ? is YG technically a one hit wonder with "My Nigga" ?

lol yukmouth signed a major deal wit rap-a-lot way after "i got 5 on it" and dropped charting solo albums......but he is a "wonder". then what does that make skee-lo?
the main point of the "one hit wonder" label is the WONDER part, not the one hit part. if u built your own label after that hit and have an extensive fanbase that supports you 20 years deep, then u are far from a wonder. the term is not "one hit artist", again, it's "one hit WONDER".........meaning u have to fade off into obscurity for it to apply. simple science folks.

LOL...
You are really trying hard on this. Look, Yukamouth is not a One Hit Wonder, the Luniz are. And the Wonder part has nothing to do with the definition, as many One Hit Wonders we know exactly where they are. Some are even solo artist who had huge success in a band. Iggy Pop is technically a one hit wonder, even though he was HUGE in The Stooges. I mean, maybe you want to bend your definition to say top 100 instead of top 40, then the Luniz would not be a One Hit Wonder. But as it stands, the Technical term of One Hit Wonder is songs in the Pop Top 40. The Luniz have only had one song in the top 40, which means they are TECHNICALLY a one hit wonder. You can argue it anyway you want. I agree with you that if you are a hip-hop head, the Luniz are far from a One Hit Wonder, Yukmouth is as relevant as they get in the Bay. But by basic definition, and this is important because it's a very simple definition, then the Luniz are a One Hit Wonder.
Album sales don't factor in with One Hit Wonders. Just singles. And the Luniz only had one single in the top 40, Yukmouth none. I'm sorry Sccit.
Personally, I think of someone like Tone Loc as more of a One Hit Wonder than the Luniz, the Luniz stayed consistent, and Tone Loc had his 2 hits and left. But yeah, and One Hit Wonders some we don't wonder where they are. Some go into acting, some do commercials, so tour with one song for years and years and year. It's just a term.

In your heart, you can be right. And I never claimed to be a college professor. But I work at a college in their international office. Big difference. It's okay. Dude. But just realize, the term one hit wonder refers to an artist who released one song in the top 40, and no other songs. The article you posted stretched out the definition to include other billboard charts, which for the sake of rap music is more reflective of the culture. But if you talk to a non-hip hop fan, they would have no idea about any other song outside if I Got 5 On It. But if you look up list of songs billboard included in their one hit wonder list, then the Luniz are included in it.

this is a hip-hop forum...not a pop music forum. and on top of that, it's a west coast hip-hop forum. so calling the luniz a 1 hit wonder on a west coast hip-hop forum is not guna fly. bottom line. west coast hip-hop 1 hit wonders are ahmad, skee-lo, even tone loc (had 2 hits, but faded off into obscurity, hence the "wonder" part).......but not the goat rap duo from the bay. sorry bruhbruh.

When you give something a definition and stick to it, you'll be surprise how small hip-hop was before 1995. Rap music didn't sell as much back then. So its impact on the pop charts was small.
And your argument off one hit wonder not being pop. One hit wonder IS a pop term. Rap music don't have one hit wonder because there's always a second single, a follow up hit on the rap charts. Skee-Lo had Top of the Stairs, Domino had Sweet Potato Pie, Ahmad was in the very underrated Come Widdit' track. Within the world of rap music, you can always find another single our other hit. But One Hit Wonder IS a pop term. It's been a pop term long before Sugar Hill Gang. So either we are listing One Hit Wonders or we are making up new rules to fit your argument. In that case, you will win any argument because you make up rules no one knows exist.

if u dont understand the difference between skee-lo and the luniz, ur even dumber than i originally thought. skee-lo is what u would call a one hit wonder in rap terms. not cypress hill, not public enemy, and not the luniz. if u wanna keep bein a dipshit and arguin semantics when u know what i mean (pretty much what u do every time u back urself into a corner), carry on.

I back myself into a corner. All I'm doing is using an unbiased definition given by Billboard and the World Dictionary as to what is a one hit wonder. You are shifting and changing the definition to fit your argument. Either you admit that there is a definition and you are wrong, or you admit that you are using your own definition that has nothing to do with one hit wonder but instead just fits your argument. Because there is a hard, solid definition of one hit wonder, and the Luniz fit under that. Just unbiased hard definition, draw the line and who fits, fits.
As for a difference of Luniz and Skee-Lo, there is a big difference. My argument was never that they were the same. My argument was that if you bend the definition of one hit wonder to fit your argument, then I can too since other one hit wonder had minor hits outside of their big song. That's why it's important to have a solid definition on these things, because the more you argue what the definition is, the more that definition can change. Too many white people, they don't know Cypress Hill outside of Insane in the Brain, or Public Enemy and Give it Up. I own almost all of Cypress Hills catalog. I'm a rap fan, to me Cypress Hill is How I Can Kill A Man, Dr. Green Thumb and Throw Your Set In the Air. But if you just take an unbiased definition, and look outside off the hip-hop bubble then you'll see where I'm coming from. In order to have an argument, there has to be some unbiased definition, I found it and I'm sticking to it, even if you don't like it.

if u dont understand the difference between skee-lo and the luniz, ur even dumber than i originally thought. skee-lo is what u would call a one hit wonder in rap terms. not cypress hill, not public enemy, and not the luniz. if u wanna keep bein a dipshit and arguin semantics when u know what i mean (pretty much what u do every time u back urself into a corner), carry on.
I back myself into a corner. All I'm doing is using an unbiased definition given by Billboard and the World Dictionary as to what is a one hit wonder. You are shifting and changing the definition to fit your argument. Either you admit that there is a definition and you are wrong, or you admit that you are using your own definition that has nothing to do with one hit wonder but instead just fits your argument. Because there is a hard, solid definition of one hit wonder, and the Luniz fit under that. Just unbiased hard definition, draw the line and who fits, fits.
As for a difference of Luniz and Skee-Lo, there is a big difference. My argument was never that they were the same. My argument was that if you bend the definition of one hit wonder to fit your argument, then I can too since other one hit wonder had minor hits outside of their big song. That's why it's important to have a solid definition on these things, because the more you argue what the definition is, the more that definition can change. Too many white people, they don't know Cypress Hill outside of Insane in the Brain, or Public Enemy and Give it Up. I own almost all of Cypress Hills catalog. I'm a rap fan, to me Cypress Hill is How I Can Kill A Man, Dr. Green Thumb and Throw Your Set In the Air. But if you just take an unbiased definition, and look outside off the hip-hop bubble then you'll see where I'm coming from. In order to have an argument, there has to be some unbiased definition, I found it and I'm sticking to it, even if you don't like it.
U trying too hard brobro
Really, I'm just using a definition.
