meaning...

- the sound will appeal to the masses
- no graphic sex talk (Sex Out South and Get Ya Head Right are out)
- no graphic violence (Midwest Choppers and Fan or Foe is out...though Fan or Foe SOUNDS commercially viable)



My vote? Gangsta Shap.

You got people leaning and rockin with it and shakin' that laffy taffy, and while this is in a similar vein, it's MILES ahead of any of those types of songs

Gangsta Shap. No question.
I don't want to sugarcoat the song or anything but I honestly see this song doing the most for Tech. He just needs to be smart about it.

Iv heard people say That Box on tv like on shows n shit. Dunno if they would allow a song to constantly repeat it, if so That Box would def be my vote but Tech would need to add more verses and make it just his song.

But I agree with MadKonfusion, there needs to be another Everready single I would vote for Night And Day or No Can Do.

Gangsta Shap is a coo ass song, but as far as apealing to the masses, it wouldnt, for all the real down n dirty rap fans yeah, but the lil kids that are all into people like T.I and Mims shit like that wouldnt really feel it. And people wouldnt get crunk to that in the clubs. So it would not work IMO

the p.a.s.e.o. hahahha jokes nah yeah Gangsta Shap pritty much blows all the other ghetto dances to pieces eg: snap ya fangaz, pop lock and drop it,lean wit it rock wit it, lean back.. and yea i agree all tech needs is sum relish behind the video and then itll get sum serious attention, seems like that now days ae, if its an Awsome song that doesnt hav a substantial budget for the video it dusnt turn enuff heads commercially.. but sum artists release krap wit a big budget video and get props from hear to china!!

Yeah...I highly doubt that one buddy. That is like saying you wish P.A.S.E.O. would be it. It just wouldn't work. The two songs are too personal for the people who do not already know about Tech and his life. They would have no idea what he is talking about.
