I do kind of get what @mangotflu is saying though. Whenever I host a party or play music for a lot of people who’s tastes I may not really know, I definitely stick to 2000s/2010s classics on the playlist. Most songs today don’t hit on the population level in the same way as those did. You could throw on Hotline Bling, for example, and everybody is instantly vibing with it. Can’t say the same for Jimmy Cooks or even Toosie Slide.

Totally different type of track tho + Hotline Bling was a huge track compared to those 2

Also the age factor. The people you party w prob around the same age as yourself. People usually stay stuck in their teenage years musically

Yeah it was much bigger but that’s the point. There’s not many huge tracks like that anymore. I would say Blinding Lights is probably the closest real mega hit in recent times that everyone knows.

The age factor is a thing but Ive noticed outside of actual current teenagers (don’t hang out with any) tastes are similar in people of “party age”

Put on Freestyle or on me and people still go crazy over it. It’s the same with so many other rappers. Y’all just be hanging around dweebs that rely on radio hits cause y’all not music fans fr.

They be in their own little world and refuse to see the bigger picture. Mans mentioned HLB like yeah in certain spaces that would rock, but in most places that also wouldn’t rock anymore.

freestyle is almost 5 years old

on me is almost 2 years old

I was entirely talking about music released in the last year or 2, not old s***. There's plenty of huge songs from back in like 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 etc. It's just been a bit dead since 2021 ish

I stopped caring about peoples taste when I host stuff. Last time I had white people over and they called me racist because I put on Weezer for them.

So now I just play whatever I want. It’s usually Reggaeton or Mexican music.

Did that actually happen? Im dead

You take 100 random people off the street of a big city and put them in a room, Hotline Bling hitting way harder than Freestyle 99.9% of the time.

it's funny since you guys are using your personal experiences to try prove me wrong when I'm looking at streams/sales of songs, which shows you're wrong

what's the 3 biggest rap hits this year? First Class, Pushing P and N95? lol
