Calling Steve Lacy a 1 hit wonder is wild

[lobi]

Calling Steve lacy a one hit wonder is beyond diabolical 😭

[phillylilmermaid]

I can’t hear a thousand miles without thinking of Terry Crews in White Chicks.

[xatuyou]

You can’t call someone a one hit wonder after 1 year.

[diorv]

steve lacy is NOT a one hit wonder. He been in the industry for a long time and has a dedicated fanbase

[daevonsibert]

Lists like this just shows how brutal the music industry really is. Takes so much for artists to keep their heads above water. And the disrespect to Steve Lacy must stop lol.

[GoldenWind]

Ella Mai’s 2nd hit “Trip” reached #11 on Billboard. Not sure why shes considered a One Hit Wonder. At least give Steve Lacy another year before writing him off.

[Marathonschannel]

Steve Lacy may actually be the next big producer so even if he’s not the artist he’ll be making hits none the less

[Undergroundfrown]

Steve lacy disrespect cannot be tolerated

[jasatay]

Calling Estelle, Ella Mai and Steve Lacy one hit wonders is crazy to me. Also teach me how to figure may have charted I’m 2010, but it fed came out before that because we danced to it at grad night in 09.

[shanegarthwaite]

Hozier was never a one hit wonder . His still going strong...

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

“I Love It” is turning 10-years old and we still ❤ that song.

Someone that I used to know is still the GOAT fr

[Eaz]

NO YOU DID NOT PUT ELLA MAI ON THE LIST . None of her hits have reach the peak of boo’d up but still she still followed up with hits and her album in 2022 was well received 😅

[NolanCarnduff_]

If you don’t jam out to A Thousand Miles with your windows rolled down while staring into peoples eyes singing every word at a stop light, you’re doing it wrong 😂

[JamailvanWestering]

Calling Blu Cantrell a one hit wonder seems a bit of a stretch since she did have another with Breathe on her next album
