This song is 30 years old. If it came out today as a brand new record, would it be a hit?

I think it would still be a modest hit. 90s music is still very popular and not just among old heads. A lot of girls in their 20s fukk with 90s R&B.

I think it would.

Some stuff is just undeniable to the brain that even the thugs & gangsters gotta

If it got the same exposure and radio play as



Boo'd up has a 90's feel to it so I see no reason Zhane wouldn't get the same love. Everybody from young to old was singing Boo'd up when it dropped.

It's all about exposure tho. These kids today just aren't being exposed to much outside of trap & drill and it's getting worse each passing generation sadly.

Too basic in style, lyrics, sound, theme, etc.

Early hip hop, pop, and r&b were shytting gold back then. A lot of stuff that came out before my time I listen to because even though it might've been done better, there's nothing like hearing the ogs.

It's like comparing UGK and three six mafia to the slime movement. Both groups talk the most outlandish shyt and I do feel like the newer nikkas do it a lil better, but I still gotta give more props to the nikkas that did that shyt in the dopest way first.

Imagine Young thug on UGK I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope (forgot the actual song name)
:wow:

"hits" today, are trash...mainstream radio music has been trash for a long time. and actually behind the indie music you can find on indie shuffle, SoundCloud, pigeons and planes or deep into spotify or youtube.

hell in 2016 I was listening to say...ego death by the internet or something while everyone else else was listening to bubble gum rap and pop of drake or Taylor swift.

today it's bad bunny and still Taylor swift and bad rappers.

I mean nikkas are barely listening to the forever story by JID in comparison shytter more mainstream pop out there.

my point is...most people don't have taste, they just consume what's given to them. so that song not being a "hit" today is likely a compliment. "hits" are generally basic sounding and made to appeal to women and children...
