    Billboard hit songs are only determined by what the executives want to be hot at the moment, YB is blackballed so he’ll never get an official one but he’s breaking crazy records even without industry help

    Everybody’s making excuses for why he hasn’t managed it yet. Y’all really think he does not want a Top 5 song? Are you stupid?

    We can acknowledge his record-breaking success, cultural standing and the fact he’s never made a transcendent hit. It’s not mutually exclusive.

  • Troy Ave Stan

    He got street hits

    Don’t need suburban hot 100 hits

    The real answer to this thread

    I don’t think he’s actually blackballed. I think his label prefers to keep him underground on purpose. They know once he reaches an certain level of mainstream, fans will turn on him just for getting too popular

    A lot of these YB discussions sound like repeated Keef discussions from back in the day

    Only difference is streaming + internet culture being so big

    He's never made a song that rings like a memorable hit. This is part of the reason why i think the Wayne comparisons are stupid asf

    And that’s off the top. YB have a certain demographic and people on this site just gotta admit they don’t be around that type.

    Y’all being obtuse. He’s not a smash hit artist and hasn’t been. It wouldn’t matter if he’s had every hood in the country on lock. He hasn’t been able to transcend that yet.

    He doesn’t need hits ringing off in white america. He don’t care about that. He’s doing well feeding his main demographic.

    Sure, he doesn’t care to sell out arenas and get hits. Are you hearing yourself? This sounds stupid.

    No need to act. Youngboy is wildly successful and breaks records. He’s still not a smash hit artist.

    It’s not just white america he doesn’t connect with. His audience is completely dominated by males 18-30. He doesn’t connect with most women and most regular ass people, not just white suburbians.

  • He already has hits.

    I just checked his demographics stats and women are like 20% of his audience. I didn’t even need to go there, I just checked to confirm.

    That s*** does not lie.

    They’re trying to cop pleas for YB, I’m just bringing you the realistic perspective. 💯

    It doesn’t water down any of his accomplishments to say what I‘m saying. Strange defensiveness in here.

    Bro I have literally heard a dude blasting Cross Me in the next door bathroom stall while taking a s*** at work

    I hear this s*** constantly

    YB is a massively popular artist and it’s extremely weird the hoops you all try to jump through to deny this

    It just shows me you clearly have no idea what’s going on in hip hop

    What country are you from btw?

    I don’t think people are saying YB isn’t a huge artist, the topic is if YB can get a hit

    While I don’t give a f*** about charts and s***, the question is a fair one.. if you think YB’s run is comparable to Waynes you’re missing the point my brotha

    It’s not a knock on YB, it’s just the way this garbage music industry is these days

  • Sep 18, 2022

    You really gon sit here and lie to me like Youngboy had a box, rockstar, or super gremlin? cmon now. We're talking about career defining hits. Youngboy doesn't have one yet and he doesn't need one. Thats the point im making

    I get your point bro

    They think you trashing YB as an artist and you’re not and it’s hilarious watching these niggas attack you
