so you don't think they don't get there parents to buy them for them?...
carson think about wat ya sayin,cause they can't buy them means they don't purchase them??...maybe not directly but trust me when we were 14/15,we got anything we wanted"right"....thats not even a valid point...!

Honestly I'd be underground, because if I went commercial my compulsive nature would add to the temptation of getting materialistc in my rhymes...

true ^.. unleess your mos defl and common there geting more commercial, but its becaus hip-hop is accepting there styles and not tryna convert it.. common has done an amazing job on staying true..

^Word, but really some of the greatest MC's out there need exposure. Let's just hope this tuesday brings good sales to Talib Kweli, so that he may finally go gold...

true, i think that also when u go commercial u got sum other shit to stand up to, cuz not every lable will let u get an over all expression of mind, its still bussiness, and they still gotta think bout consumers and in carsons case consumers parents, because more then half of people buyin those records aint grew up in the hood, and their parents are a lot more concious bout the music industry

rather be commercial obviously

I mean who would chose underground you'll barely make
any money and make enough to just support yourself:)

commercial i like the bounce like hov or 50 style maybe like banks i dont wanna be no fucking common or cannibus like hov said that dont make common sense id rather be rich and make happy songs

commercial, why turn down good money?

Id rather be commercial. But I wouldnt sell out with my style, Id be a commerical rapper that sounds underground.

i would sell out in a hot second....i dont write for the art of the music now so if im making 100 million dollars im not gonna stop and think about "is this art" id be like "will this pay my yacht payment"...and thats werd...

^Hes got a point if you think about it.

But I like my post better..

Yo anotha MC cats be sleepin on is AZ. His albums is crazy but you harldy ever here about them cus he's not the commercial type.

I would consider myself underground based on the fact that I make my money a different way. Shit that whole underground is where its at though. You get a certain vibe when you listen to underground music. That real shit.

underground

LOL, underground artist are dumb gay. They aint cakin off rap, which is.......THEIR JOBS!
So if your underground your a herb, that most likely has talent.
But I'd rather be commercial...yeh, money talks.
