Who's the richest one hit wonder?

[Stir Fry]

That Gungam style guy is still performing that shyt 200 times a year in Asia

I'm sure the money is great, but that sounds like an absolute hell

 

[FTBS]

If we talking strictly who profited most of that one hit it gotta be Sir Mix A Lot. Unlike most he was about his paper.

 

[FTBS]

Was about to say Coolio but fact checked myself and saw that he’s got like 6 high charting hits. Need to play them to refresh my memory

Yeah Coolio was a star before DM. That said, the only other ones I remember off top are Too Hot and Fantastic Voyage though. All them shyts are sample driven too. So that cuts into his money.

Coolio is absolutely not a one hit wonder..in no shape or fashion

 

[patscorpio]

in hiphop its prolly Vanilla Ice or Sir Mix A Lot even though technically they arent one hit wonders..ice did have play that funky music lol

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Mix A Lot not a 1 hit wonder tho

It’s funny how that hit thing works. I mean people would say he’s a one hit wonder but man he had a few bangers to me
Posse on Broadway
My Hooptie
Swap Meet Louie
Beepers
The peek a boo game
Swass
Gortex
and a lot of shyt I hated lol

Dude got to be doing quite well out here though cause people still love baby got back

You're only proving my point.

Of course a user of a hip-hop Internet forum would remember his other hits.

You're average person only remembers Right Thurr.

Holiday Inn and one call away both hit 2 and 3 on the billboard 100, they're very well known songs outside of hiphop

Suge and the alleged writer gave him the Big Red treatment for the royalties. It's Mix-A-Lot.

These are good songs (a couple classics), but not "hits". Hip-Hop heads will know some or most of them. Baby Got Back is the only song of his still relevant in any fashion today. Nasty Dog gets some burn on Tik-Tok, but in 2025, that and BGB are it.

Oh I know those aren’t hits but they were well known around my way(I’m from Ga) Mix A Lot was doing it big.. baby got back just put him in a whole other stratosphere.

Didn't Chamillionaire invest in something that got him rich.

How many hits or successful singles/albums can somebody have before they’re no longer considered a one hit wonder?
