In this episode of ‘The Need To Know’ podcast, hosts SaVon, Alex, and Regi dive into a nostalgic ranking game featuring early 2000s hip-hop and R&B one-hit wonders. The catch? They rank five songs without knowing the full list in advance. The tracks included are iconic hits such as “This Is Why I’m Hot” by Mims, “Bed” by J. Holiday, “Drank In My Cup” by Kirko Bangz, “Like A G6” by Far East Movement, and Iggy Azalea’s chart-topping “Fancy.”
As the hosts listen to 10-second clips of each song, the conversation quickly becomes a mix of playful banter and personal memories, with each host reflecting on how these songs soundtracked their middle school years. From reminiscing about school dances to the songs’ lasting cultural impact, they explore the lasting influence of these tracks on the early 2000s music scene.
The game ultimately pits two contrasting top picks against each other, with one host choosing Kirko Bangz’s “Drank In My Cup” as their number one, while another leans into Iggy Azalea’s massive hit “Fancy.” The episode highlights the fun and unpredictability of ranking one-hit wonders, sparking broader discussions on how these songs helped define a generation’s musical taste.
