antiGUY gives his top 5 list of music stuff. Could be songs, people, a stupid trend... nothing is sacred to antiGUY

This Months Top 5 
Rap is becoming more and more popular everyday, and I still don't get it. I seems to be a short cut to talent to me. 

It was a novelty when it started out, but now people have built million dollar careers with the equivalent of reciting "Mary had a little ho" to a drum machine. For the Top 5 this month I take a look at the world of Rap and what it appears to take to make it "big".  All the old rules of the music biz are out the window, so if you aren't a real musician and want a career, you might give the following a try. 

Top 5 ways to become a rap star.

5) Learn how to rhyme or you can end everything in "Yo". Either will work. (Tip: Yo does rhyme with ho) 

4) Make an enemy out of a well known rapper. They will dis you in their raps and give you instant notoriety

3) Steal from the best. Find a killer classic rock song, sample it and rap stupid lyrics over it. As long as people recognize the original song, you got a hit.

2) Gather a group of hangers on, call them an entourage, posse or bodyguards. Then "chill out" at night clubs and wait for one of them to pull a gun on somebody for a real or imagined slight.  Free Press baby!

And the Number one way to become a rap star. 

Get arrested for doing something really stupid.
