18. "To me, a "hit" is what the audience of your genre digs." In response to In response to 16 Tue May-12-15 09:03 AM by Boogie Stimuli
It's about hitting the mark. Quite a few artists one billboard hit is the shit their audience didn't even like or sounds nothing like the rest of their work. But closer to home, a song like "Computer Love" didn't even hit number one on the R&B charts, but that is a bonafied hit to negros everywhere. We could make a big ass list of song like that. As Black folk, it's hella dumb for us to define "hit" by white validation and chart positions. Shit don't add up, because when we get into all that billboard bullshit, we're talking about crossover stuff.
