If serious, record label and catchy verses. Post Malone broke ground with White Iverson, where he strategically curated the lyrics based on NBA culture without having any knowledge of current players just a few months prior to writing the song. He said himself that he doesn't even play basketball, but yet he somehow knew that Hip-Hop and basketball go together like peanut butter and jelly. So it was a matter of dropping a few household names like Iverson, Jordan, KD, Harden, and AD to get music listeners hooked to the song. The rest was history after that...
I recall being in LA at the time the song first got air play on Power 106, and it was pretty much an instant hit with people playing the song non-stop. No one even knew how he looked back then, but I guess that's the power of music. It lets you dress/look however way you want, and people seem to be willing to accept your image as long as you make good/decent music.
