5. “Hottest in the City”

Ty Dolla $ign

I’ve taken offense in the past that the sort-of critical acclaim Ty gets on Twitter and other social media platforms rarely translates to actual success on the Billboard charts (which, yes, I still care far too much about). I don’t know, man; a “Ty$ Features” playlist came across my timeline last year and it didn’t include “You Could Be My Lover,” which is the essential Ty$ feature. Folks are frauds, man. Yeah, I said it. Word to Rihanna.

“Hottest in the City” wasn’t #1 in the country for a week?! You’ve gotta be kidding me. Uncredited appearances by Juicy J and Project Pat (himself a national treasure) just … flew under the radar, huh? Was this an awareness issue? Do not enough people know about this song? Tell a friend to tell a friend. We can salvage this single, one fan at a time.
