What is more important when determining whether a song is a "hit" or not? Does the lyrics matter or the beat? That's a tough question to answer, but here are my thoughts. When I tune in on the popular stations such as Wild 94.9 or 106.1 KMEL, I hear many songs that they consider "hits" The majority of these songs have a pretty damn good beat, but have the WORST lyrics, EVER. But, it's still a "hit".
I don't consider these songs "hits" in my book, they won't last. Would you really listen to songs like "Crank Dat Soldier Boy" and "Ay Bay Bay" five years from now and say, "That's my song!" Probably not, a song with a great beat can make it's way to the charts but without meaningful lyrics, the track is incomplete. Now just because a song has a good beat, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will top the charts.
Bottom line is that lyrics matter. You can listen to songs by Jason Mraz and when others hear it, it will be as if the song came out last week. This is just my opinion, lyrics matter. A great example of this is Dumb It Down by Lupe Fiasco. It has one of the simplest beats in history but has the sickest lyrics I have ever heard. Later.

It doesn't matter what the person is wearing...
So I was asking this girl what I should wear in order to impress people. It wasn't a big conversation but one thing there was one thing I remember.
"It doesn't matter what the person is wearing, it's about the way they present themselves."
No way.
The way a person dress IS part of presentation. I speak from personal experience but I'm sure all of you feel the exact same way. I'm generally nicer to people who look "good" and I'm usually more short-tempered to people who look "bad".
Now, whether a person looks ugly or not is not in there control. They are born the way they are and they're stuck with it, but one thing they can control is the clothes they wear. This was the basis of the conversation.
When a person goes to an interview, they don't wear baggy sweatpants and a ridiculously big tee shirt that was obviously not made for him/her. At the same time, a person will not wear a 800 tux to school everyday. The reason why a person might dress according to the situation is because they want to be attractive, whether it is to an interviewer or teachers. Making a good first impression is vital in all situations.
So my goal is to make an attractive first impression to people I meet, preferably girls ;]
She didn't really give me any tips on what to wear besides preppy stuff. When I heard preppy stuff, I thought of Lacoste polos. These things are ridiculous. I'm not sure how much they are worth nowadays, but a couple years back, they go for $100 a piece. A polo with an alligator logo =O . That's basically just something that tells the world that they make a lot of money.
Is that really what girls are attracted to? Money?
