Oldheads: Just how "big" was Thong Song? :jbhmm:

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

A crossover smash like few black artists were fortunate to have.

If your young it would be hard to understand the randomness of what songs became pop hits. It isnt like it is now where hip hop is basically pop culture

 

[BulletProof]

Too big.

The definition of one hit wonder solo career after he left his group. Incredibly sucessful but too much of a gimmick to make a career out of.

Embarrassed my home city of Baltimore.

Made a bunch of short, mouthy dudes thinking dying your hair silver and getting Asian tats made you look hard to a point rappers from NY used Sisqo as a gay joke.

So hugely successful. Enough for that little b*stard to be featured on a prime DMX hit single. Probably because X has Bmore roots.

Proof positive chicks don't listen to lyrics but choruses and beats.

Like most of you new jacks.

Good point.

I also left out they were signed to Def Jam.

 

[Bolzmark]

HUGE

 

[Wargames]

Dump like a truck, truck, truck

About that big

 

[Dzali OG]

That song is a major reason why girls to this day keep a thong in their ass.

 

[Renegade47]

i was a youngin when that song dropped. but i can tell you that shyt was everywhere. type annoying too cus it was one of those joints where you change the radio station to the other radio station and it would be playing at the same time. like get this shyt outta here type shyt. shyt was insane

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Let me put it this way. Jawns all over Philly had thongs on from grannies to 8th graders. Trust me I know

12 is lowkey too old to not know
especially about the album or dru hill in general. They were all over TV and soundtracks

jagged edge - where the party at got play every 15 minutes down south too... kind of in a similar vein
but not with longevity as thong song or sisqo


that corny ass dude said sisqo was a one hit wonder but he wrote Mya's first album
Dru Hill shyt and then his own smash album... was on Rush Hour soundtrack .... How Deep Is Your Love - was a smash hit
dont see how you are gonna disrespect a dude that put your hometown on like that

its a great song, not only because of the melody, writing and theme... but its a "dirty" song thats clean enough to still be pop
its just the perfect blend to skyrocket from a cleaner crowd to a strip club.

 

[Heavy_Handz]

That was the biggest song in the world when it dropped.

 

[Taadow]

It was the best of times,
It was the worst of times.

 

[spliz]

He basically made thongs the staple they are today.
