blow the whistle has actually only gotten more popular as time has gone on ... it barely charted initially: http://www.complex.com/music/2014/05/how-did-blow-the-whistle-become-hyphys-biggest-anthem

really forward thinking stuff that breaks the boundaries. this is the kind of stuff that is literally catnip to real music buffs

I feel like I barely go to a party where "Blow the Whistle" doesn't get played but I had assumed this was strictly a west coast phenomenon

I still hear "Feelin' Myself" out pretty often (which ppl go nuts to obv) and "The Thizzle Dance" and "Super Hyphy" every once in a while

At the time tho "Tell Me When to Go" was the biggest song that year but I rarely hear it now. There was one time that summer when I was at a red light and it came on the radio and I realized the guys in the next car had it on too and we started rapping it back and forth between are cars and going all dumb. That was the best.

I really should correct my lack of Mac Dre knowledge though, letting the Bay down
