blow the whistle has actually only gotten more popular as time has gone on ... it barely charted initially:

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

And yeah def. prefer it to "Tell Me When to Go" although both are dope

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.

of all the songs you just mentioned, literally only 'blow the whistle' gets played at non-west coast clubs IME

man I hated "The Thizzle Dance" in college, thought it was terrible. college college blahblah.

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