January 2, 20205 yr 5jUGAVUwhRU Vic Mensa “Down On My Luck” (2014) Chart Points: 920 Debuted: 15th June 2014 / CR: 33-24-19-13-09-04-03-04-04-05-09-14-21-28-35-43 (16 weeks) This was really a singular moment of greatness in his discography - one of my favourite songs of the year but nearly nothing he's released since has been worth listening to (especially the godawful 93PUNX thing he's doing at the moment). GOAT is also a 'one hit wonder' in my mind but with a different song ('Hide From The Sun'), admittedly I haven't listened to many other songs by them. (yay for stats)
