minimum requirements for mainstream survival...

IP: B20F 67F7

Good Looks
Good Voice


Nowadays it seems like anybody can survive in mainsteam as long as you are good looking, or you have a good voice...

With teens bein overly obsessed with good lookin artists...guys can drop complete crap and still have gold albums...

what do ya'll think?

u must be gay too u think Nelly and Chingy are cute huh?

NAw let me stop fucking wit ya'll. Its a few things that go into mainstream shit,first of all u have to have something catchy the first time people start to pay attention 2 you, then after u get the attention u have to keep shit catchy.example.Jay-Z got no love for the classic Reasonable Doubt,but after he did the catchy shit wit "Hard Knock Life" he started 2 sell millions. But this isn't it, there are over a million different reasons people survive maintstream and most of em start wit luck.

Has to be catchy:

I don't need no fuck'n hook for this beat..... UGHUGHG I HATE THAT

or any new Outkast, they used to be dope, but now you got the pop crowd that was listen'n to Lincoln Park and Limp Biskit, listen'n to Outkast now. That's so so so gay.

They perform in a couple weeks here, I got offered free tickets, but fuck it, I'd rather smoke a sack and listen to their old shit down the street, so fuck'm

1. You need connections, so you people here about you eg. "yeah this new guy, he's with eminem and dre..."

2. A catchy hook, and themes that appeal to either a) teenage girls - love (ja rule), or b) teenage boys - guns, drugs (50 cent, DMX, etc.)

and bang, your 5x platinum.
