    Hopefully he’s savin that money

    Honestly as an artist you have to have your own morals and standard for what great means to u. But music like this isn’t necessarily bad cus HipHop has always had its dances. And what kind of HipHop will little kids grow up listening to. I wouldn’t play J Cole or Kendrick or Killer Mike for a 9 year old. So congrats to homie. He should just not expect to be taken serious on serious subject matter and lyrical skill unless he keeps his Pop influence and get his BoB on and try to make he transition through Pop beats

      He is a kid he was 15 when he made this song. I am happy for him, now if he was a grown man then I would agree with your assessment but let kids be kids.

  3. Kris Kompute says:

    Tootsie Roll, Come and Ride that train and Crank Dat all did the same thing.

    Buddy was clowning in school, posted a vid on IG, got a shitload of likes and decided to make a song. He made something out of nothing. Which has always been the essence of rap. Congrats to the little nigga.

    On a sidenote, I hope he can act cause that bubblegum shit don’t sustain.

      You know what, you’re right.

      1. FACTS!!! says:

        No he’s WRONG! BUBBLEGUM MUSIC is here to STAY!!! It’s NOT GOING NOWHERE!!! When this song DIE another one will POP UP!!! I BET MY LIFE ON IT! I don’t RESPECT it but I learn to ACCEPT it not going nowhere! Just like CLUB MUSIC is here to STAY until they shut down EVERY CLUB in the WORLD it’s not going NOWHERE! You want BUBBLEGUM MUSIC and CLUB MUSIC to go AWAY!!! YOU HAVE TO KILL EVERY KID IN THE WORLD AND SHUT DOWN EVERY CLUB LOL

        1. Kris Kompute says:

          Go look up the word “sustain” and then get back to me.

        2. MrAfrika says:

          Well its high school music, kids with no real bills or real problems are buying singles. I have yet to hear this song in a club (at least the clubs I frequent) are playing this.No grown man my age in their mid twenties and + are busting a nae nae or whip ping it.

    2. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      think about it, how many hip-hop singles went platinum this year?

      1. Kris Kompute says:

        Wiz. Fetty 2x. Damn…slim pickings.

  4. SapToad says:

    Meanwhile TPAB can’t go Plat…. Society is fuck up

    1. Kris Kompute says:

      Only three albums have went platinum this year in all of music…not sure what they has to do with a single going platinum which happens every two weeks.

    2. Shock says:

      That kid is a teenager..wtf you expect him to rap about? Dance is one of the original elements in hip hop, and there will always be room for these kinds of songs….hater. No one is being hurt by this shit…as a matter of fact, your idol, 50 Cents, has influenced more black man to be violent and live a thug lifestyle than this song ever will. GTFOH

      1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

        WHILE YOU NIGGAS ARE OUT HERE SHUCKIN & JIVIN’, NIGGAS ARE GETTIN’ KILLED ON CAMERA!!!! YOU NIGGAS ARE WHIPPIN’ AND NAE NAEIN’ TO YOUR GRAVE!!!! YOU TAP DANCIN’ COON!!!! HA!!!!

        #NIGGAS

        DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

        1. Shock says:

          So by your logic, one can’t have a social life and be a protester either? Or are you suggesting that dance songs are the reason why blacks are being oppressed? Or, are you saying that we need more 50 Cent to help us get our priorities in order? Either way, your point is dumb as hell, and I can’t take someone with your small intellect seriously. Stick to typing in caps and hating, and leave the political ideology to people with an IQ above 100.

          1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

            YOU’LL NEVER GET IT LIL BLACK GUY!!!! ESPECIALLY ON A RAP BLOG!!!! LMAO!!!! KEEP DANCIN’ BOJANGLES!!!!

            DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

          2. Shock says:

            We know who doesn’t have a high iq….hint hint, its you.

          3. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

            FUCK OUTTA HERE SHOE SHINER!!!!! GO THINK OF ANOTHER COON DANCE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!! HA!!!!

            DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

          4. Shock says:

            I’m not a rapper. I don’t make songs. I don’t stalk websites. I don’t make racist commentary to get a little attention from a bunch of people I will never meet either. Smh. Im going to pray for you man. I can’t imagine having such an unfulfilled life that all I do is spew hateful rhetoric on a site where you claim you don’t even like the writers. It’s so weird…but counseling can help though.

            TIME TO GO MAKE SOME MONEY, I’LL COMEBACK WHEN YOU COMMENT SOME MORE LOSER

        2. diggz says:

          LEAVE THIS SITE NO ONE LIKES YOU

  6. NOVA says:

    smh, this song booty meat

  7. BK James says:

    This is the side of hip-hop I really hate. This song has literally no lyrics in the traditional rap sense, not a single line that sounds good or has context by itself. I know that’s not what its supposed to be but I guess that’s why I’m a fan of rap in particular more than hip hop as a whole. But if people wanna spend their money on this and have a good time I can’t hate that. As long as no one is trying to claim that it is a good song.

    1. Kris Kompute says:

      You don’t even know the different between hip-hop and rap. You got your definitions wrong.

      Buddy is 17 and found a way use his intellectual property to help support his family, legally. Not sure how another black man can hate on that.

      1. og.status says:

        shut yo punk ass up. yo views equivalent 2 cardboard.

        1. Kris Kompute says:

          “yo views equivalent 2 cardboard”.

          You type like a nigga in cell block 4.

    2. Shock says:

      That kid is a teenager..wtf you expect him to rap about? Dance is one of the original elements in hip hop, and there will always be room for these kinds of songs….hater.

      1. BK James says:

        i know that dance is one of the original parts of hip hop, which is why i said that it is the side of hip hop i dont like. This song has nothing to offer me, i would never choose to put it on, it is just a list of dance moves. That’s fine for the people who want it, like I said. I just don’t want anyone confusing it with rap that is actually lyrical.

        1. Shock says:

          Who would confuse it?

          1. BK James says:

            Anyone who doesn’t have their ear to the game and just sees that the song sold a million and figures its ones of the most popular rap songs right now… but its not bc hes not rapping.

  8. Gordon says:

    A million crack babies bought this shit.

  9. LēTeck says:

    Niggas be writing bullshit like they gotta work
