underground rap vs. commercial rap
 

which1 do u listen 2 more or which 1 do u prefer the underground or the commercial stuff like 50 cent, nas, jay-z etc...

ugh...played...every here is going to say underground...


you know what needs to be done

Psssshhhhh....

Aesop Rock Has Nothing On Nelly..... DUH!!!!

I like both, Underground is brilliant. But all the classic tracks I like are Commercial. And I really like Old School and alot of that is Commercial!

Underground..I'll Give U Comercial Counter-Parts
Eyedea - Eminem
Talib Kweli - Nas
Royce 5'9" - LL Cool J[Lmao]
Celph Titled - Ludacris[Only Cuz They Both Spit Punches n Like Any Song..Battle Verse Or Not]
Tonedeff - I Dunno He's Jus Ill

yo i gotta stick to the underground cuz the rhymes be more raw and direct and have a better scheme............................................ ............besides mainstream songs that r cool get played out quickly taking the vibe from it..............and also whats better than bumping some unknown tracks to let people wonder what that ill stuff was

^^^Yep Underground is better hype goes to some commericial rapper heads...

Underground Of Course

All That Main-Stream Bull_Shit Sounds The Same

I'll Even Quote A Popular Artist Of Today

Song: Hater Players

[Talib Kweli]
Yes..
Every day somebody ask me where all the real MC's is at?
They underground
There's mad talented cats underground with that raw shit
Yaknowwhat'msayin? Bringin them raw skills

^^^And It's 100% True

~1~

WTF!?!?!?
 

all i gotta see bout nelly, ludacris, p. diddyand sumtimes jay-z is -~-~-~-~
RAP BOUT SOMEDIN DATS IMPORTANT!

Definitely the Underground.........
much more talent and it is better in every aspect of the word music

i like commercial (but not people like nelly) becoz being in england i dont kno any underground artists, so if u cud tell me some that wud be great

^^^^

Are you serious? You think that the US just has underground artists? Why don't you check some of your local artists?There are a lot of undergound artists over there, as well.

Hmmmmm Being In England Isn't An Excuse...

I Know Over 300 Or So Underground Artists And Where Do You Think I Live?? :rolleyes:

**Runs From The Truth**

You worded it wrong it should of been

underground vs mainstream
becoz some mainstream acts arnt commercial (Jurassic 5, Gang Starr, A Tribe called Quest)

i like a lot of underground,mainstream and even a few commercial acts on an occasion, if its Hip Hop imma mos def give it a go

I like both, I think hip-hop needs both as a diversion, yaknow. Just because you on one side doen't mean you are better, it's some wack underground cats just like it's some good mainstream, it's just mainsteam gets pushed in your face so much to the piont where it makes it played. But I think both serves a reason
