UnderGround v.s Mainstream
 

yo which you guys like more and why?...

i might have to go wit UnderGround all the way in this one,because its real and tests ya true skills and talent...its somethin u mostly play in ya headphones and actually listen to than play at a club

def. Underground....

seriously,i preferer maintstream...dunno why but i do,but i still like underground

mainstream.....

underground... mainstream are wack as fuck... cant find any decent music there...

cept for some of the peeps that were under then turned mainstream...

That has to be the stupidest comment ever. Every artist that's mainstream now, was underground at one point of their career. You have to start somewhere!

Anyways, I prefer the underground due to quality of the music and the artist work ethic. Mainstream is about money and clubs.. but what can you do? There are artists within mainstream that are worth listening to (Kanye, Jay-Z, The Roots, Ghostface) but not too many.

underground has the lyrics and is really hip hop
mainstream is just something wif a sick beat and thats it, no good lyrics, just enough to fill up space.

Mainstream=Filler....Underground=Dope...
Mainstream is just the adjustable rap's for everyone, while underground is where the passion's at..so fucka mainstream.

It depends on my mood in fact. I listen to more underground stuff most of the time but I do like mainstream now and then...Mainstream is just a dope beat, don't have to think about it too much. Underground on the other hand has the deeper lyrics that make you stand still and think for a lil while.

I prefer mainstream, because all da mainstream artist were underground at certain point in their carrers but they made it out of da underground and sarted doin more music..not just rap..started talkin bout different things not just da hood and the struggle..mainstream artist talk bout everithin 24's, ho's, da hood, their strugle, clubs,
parties, love and bout everithin..dats why I prefer mainstream..

I like em' both actually but I will say this much.

Lyrics=Underground

Songs=Mainstream

One M.B. has a tight avatar

underground KILLS (we are talking multiple homicides here) mainstream like its the forty ounce chillin next to my moniter

underground is better because they havent got the media or their fans to worry about they do it forthemsleves but when the underground artists go to mainstream then they turn out how the other underground artists went when they went into mainstream becuz of the meida and the public so id say its best to stay underground and i like the underground music better its more hardcore n shit...

GROUND
under

word
^^


^^SICK!! :evilgrin:

underground fuck yeahh...
they have talent and shit..

but now when u get famous .. everything change .. u feel me?

i gree for underground.. if u dont like it FUCK YALL :gfy:

Are you an idiot?

I said SOME OF THEM... dont call my comment stupid... read it first... NO i DONT like 50 cent... and he was underground... But I do feel some of ems mainstream songs....

it makes sense, and you're an idiot.

i think it depends on the artist
some r betta underground, some betta mainstream

not all of mainstream sucks...em and nas are mainstream so dont forget them and they drop hot shit (even tho em is fallin off now)

but i prefer underground i like the less then perfect quality and lyrics...

yea like i said, i really depends on the artist

lyrics=underground
production=mainstream

It seems the only good things about mainstream are the beats. Beat makers or at least the good ones seem to be drawn to the mainstream industry. It's a shame cuz with mainstream's wack ass lyrics, the beats are wasted. Underground is leaps and bounds better, but I still listen to people like NaS cuz although he made it, he's stayin somewhat underground in his style.

Depends On Which MC it is.....
But i prefer Underground better......

i have 2 say da underground 4 da simple fact people's album really r not worth buying cuz dey have 1 or 2 at da most songs on there worth listening 2 but get on dez mixtapes & put dey best material out & den have nuffin 2 fall bacc on if dey album flop
