Because we were alive at the time and we know the history.
I'll give you that because it was picked up by sports teams so YES.
Your probably right.
But maybe I need you to DEFINE bigger?
Cause it's interesting how bgol for years claimed they ain't never heard Shake Off by Taylor Swift and I had to go 1 v 200 telling them they full of it. CAUSE THAT record was big and dudes claim it wasn't.
I will give you "bigger" in the sense that it was on commercials etc and crossed over. But I will check actual sales.
Because if you want argue bigger? That matters.
But you know what? For now? I'll say you right.
Shit I was alive too
I still hear oh boy occasionally
Couldn't tell you the last time I heard balling
Shit last time I heard balling it was Jay-z's song
Maybe it's a regional thing
I can’t tell you the last time I heard either song
I don’t have sales numbers, spins, requests or any quantitive data. All I know is that everyone was saying Ballin and the record was huge.
Hmmm... okay I checked Oh Boy had more airplay more video play and sold more and charted slightly higher.
@dik cashmere
What was a BIGGER record back in the day Ballin or Oh Boy?
I can’t tell you the last time I heard either song
Fair point!!!!
I actually heard oh Boy recently for some reason. And it's aged better
Shout out Just Blaze.
But no one can deny Ballin'
The problem for Jomo is Nas got a COUPLE of those. So does Push
Don't go look at the youtube plays because it ain't even close
Shit, Hey Ma which is another banger, also has way more youtube plays
Can you find the original Jim Jones video when it was released?
Can you find the original Jim Jones video when it was released?
The one that's on there says 10 years ago and has 4.5 mill
He has just the song at 7.6
Oh boy is 15 years ago has 56 mill
That’s what I’m saw too and Ballin came out in 2006 and Oh Boy came out in 2002.
Oh boy put dipset on the map… ballin was big for Jim jones as a solo artist..but oh boy made people look at the other guys outside of cam
There is no ballin if there is no oh boy… 100 percent facts..Jim jones was still a hype man at that time
Fun facr Jim jones appeared on other cam songs b4 oh boy and nobody cared or probably can remember any of them.. oh boy was the first track people took the other dipset members serious.. which opened up the dipset mixtapes.. b4 that a lot of people just thought dipset was a logo on a t-shirt that cam said.. thank you oh boy for giving the other artist burn.. once again there is no ballin if there is no oh boy.. oh boy was the bigger track for many reasons
It’s interesting at the time We Fly High was everywhere but I wonder was it as big as it seemed. Because while it was a moment I feel like Oh Boy was a monster.
Not saying you wrong but I remember finding out about Juelz and Cam at the same time. Honestly Cam pre Dipset was a joke down here. Only record I remember is the What Means the World to You remix and I think it was because it had Bun and Pimp on it. Whenever they hopped on a track with someone we didn’t know it was a stamp of approval. That’s what got me to listen to Jay.
Horse and carriage got lots of play all over bet..even in the remix…what means the world to you was played on bet uncut multiple times a week
Yeah them songs was corny to me growing up. I think it was the Mase effect on Horse and Carriage…But I was in the South and that shit just wasn’t getting played. But when Dipset era Cam came it was a different beast.
Corny to you but cam got a gold albulm out of it and he still was the face of dipset and the one carrying the whole team
Until oh boy came out and people were like hey guys those dudes around cam just weren’t the entourage and hanger on
you always make the most retarded takes.
nas last album was not too long ago and it was a banger.
but that doesn't matter. Jordan hung it up years ago and still considered one if not the greatest. same with Ali. same with Bob Dylan. same with jack Nicholson. you don't shit on a legends name for clout and its punching low. get someone currently active. its pussy.
I agree with @tallblacknyc without oh boy there is no ballin
Ballin was jomo’s hit but oh boy was a bigger moment
That fool cant comprehend simple math
The NFL used Balling on Monday night football
I know, I already mentioned that.
It was a monster, shit I still hear it when I'm at a gas station or stores I go to. They basically had two versions of that song. Remember Mariah Carey's Boy
