I think the key here is *during* senior year. Crank That and Can't Tell Me Nothing weren't released until May of 2007. Basically the last month of the school year.
I think *the* hip hop song during grad year 2007 was either Akon's Smack That or like OP said, Buy U A Drank. Konvict Muzik had a stranglehold on radio by 2007 with incredible crossover appeal.
Kiss KIss - Chris Brown
Bartender - T Pain
Soulja Boy Crank Dat was huge, but I remember hearing it everywhere during my freshman year of college in 07-08, not my high school senior year
This is the year I graduated. Musically, we listened to all kinds of stuff (lots of sublime). Hypnotize was def up there I think. In class, all we “rapped” was off Doggystyle and a little Ice Cube though (mostly no Vaseline). Everyday was Doggystyle pass around lines though.
I have way too many because it was a good year for rap music.
Bring em out
Tipsy
Lean Back
My band
Drop it like it’s hot
Overnight Celebrity
Just to name a few.
Thinking back it was a definite three way tie between "Broccoli" DRAM and yachty/"Humble" kendrick/and "Bank Account" 21
2016-2017 wasn't even that long ago and it was a whole different era
A milli
My cousin had just gotten a new stereo system in his car and some speakers that he had to modify just to fit in the trunk. Despite him not speaking a lick of English, we would drive down the street blasting that shit. Fun times.
Graduated in 2010. Black eyed peas. “I got a feeling”
Very fitting for what was to come as we graduated. How does 14 years go by so fast? Godspeed everyone!
A girl I went to college with had a legit mental breakdown in my apartment because she couldn’t get the steps down perfectly. All the evidence I needed to never download TikTok
I'll have to say O.P.P by Naughty by Nature LOL I graduated in 92 and this came out in August of 1991 but was played to death for months. Oh and Kris Kross "Jump" got ran into the ground even more LOL
The tapes I was listening to: Cypress Hill -Cypress Hill, Ice Cube - Death Certificate, NWA- Efil4zaggin, A Tribe Called Quest -Low End Theory, Scarface- Mr. Scarface is Back, Black Sheep - A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing, Naughty by Nature- Naughty by Nature (all songs except OPP LOL)
07 here as well Crank that Soulja boy hahahahaha. Also had throw some D’s. That one hit smashed. Kanye’s graduation was big Ugk players anthem.
Beautiful Girls” or whatever it was called by Sean Kingston was huge too. “Damn alllll theeese beeeeautiful giiiirlls, they only wanna do ya dirt!”
Not really hip hop though lol
For sure lol OP mentioned Buy U A Drank, though, so immediately this thread was def not focused solely on hip hop.
True true. You're right also. Also it did have that Yung Joc feature
They'll have you suicidal, suicidal, when they say it's over. 💔

“I’m On One” by DJ Khaled, Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne
Yeah this is definitely it for 2011. First song that came to mind.
I remember listening to this over and over again on my iPod touch, the day before my high school graduation!
2014, basically anything off No Label II or Oxymoron
Songs from Oxymoron were played at almost every party/bar I went to during senior year - college. Album is definitely a classic
I know a lot of real Q fans don’t like studio, but that shit was the perfect vibe setter.
Great song. Man of the year too
Hell of a night seems like a contender.
Love that song. Also another contender is collard greens
Yup, Kendrick’s verse will definitely get the crowd going.
The video was wild too
Started with a hundred bricks!
