You were asking him a question with the quote and insinuating the answer was “a deep cut” why do you think we started naming songs that didn’t have a huge billboard presence but still aren’t deep cuts

It was fun watching you flop all over the place tho, these randoms just tell on themselves

Rap was famously underrepresented on the Hot 100 before the streaming era.

The idea that a rapper’s non-charting songs are all deep cuts is just ridiculous lmao

For non-commercially successful artists, deep cuts would be, like I said, non-singles.

Which would be especially apt since the only way you were hearing a non-single back in the day was if you bought the album.

We've been over this.

Nah, but your moms is

Yup, pre-streaming is whole other beast.

But not all non-singles are deep cuts lmao

Is Imaginary Players a deep cut?

goat doing goat things as always

Lol, I'm not even going to argue with your dumbass.

Look through the thread for my definition of a deep cut, compare it to what your ChatGPT said (I think I quoted you with it), and learn.

Trap or die is a non single and is an essential Jeezy song lol

That’s my point numb nuts, you have a ChatGPT view on hiphop and it’s embarrassing, I have no clue who you are yet you yearn to argue with me, who’s alt is this

Are you having a stroke?

My nigga, words don't have arbitrary meanings depending on what you decide.

This nigga actually trying to argue against actual dictionary definitions.

KTT niggas, man.

What's your definition of a deep cut?

Since you're not happy with mine and Chat GPT doesn't have your encyclopedic knowledge of music and as such cannot be trusted to define it?

The actual dictionary definition of deep cut is this

a piece of music by a singer or group that is little known in comparison to their other music.

This says nothing about whether or not it’s a single or if it charted, etc. a song can be a throw away bonus track and still be an essential track for an artist

Single

Trap or die wasn’t a single

Have fun experiencing the impact of rap music using the google dictionary and billboard charts, we’ve given you multiple examples yet your programming won’t allow to understand sadly

A deep cut is a song that is both not popular and also not too notable within the artist’s own fanbase. It has nothing to do with singles or non-singles. Sure, non-singles are more likely to be deep cuts because they don’t get the same marketing push as singles do, but it’s not always the case. Deep cuts also tend to not get performed live by the artist a lot.

For Drake, examples would be: 305 To My City, Blue Tint, and A Keeper

For Kendrick, examples would be: Collect Calls, No Make-Up, and GOD.

etc. etc. etc.

Type deep cut into Google and see what comes up

MICHAEL cracking a billion

That’s exactly what I did lol

No, deep cuts can apply to albums. In fact, it mostly applies to albums because it's a throwback to the time when the most popular way to hear music was on the radio.

So artists would have like 3 - 4 singles they pushed to DJs with Payola and a street single like Trap or Die.

Why do you think old head rappers used to structure albums weird? One song would be the radio single, one for the streets, one for the women, one where they're really rapping.

And who's more right, me or you?

Be honest.

No, deep cuts can apply to albums.

Huh? Deep cuts are songs. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here

I just gave you the definition from the actual dictionary. Why are you still trying to argue. You’re wrong
