The Only Thing That You Need To Do To Be Mainstream Is Be Noticed, And Be A Fucking Commodity.. If You're A Commodity, Then You're Going To Bring In Money If You Have Skill Or Not.. Hip Hop Is Going Down Hill Because Of The Structure Of The Bureaucracy And The Commercialism Of The Tradition..
My Lil Brother Can Rhyme Better Than Chingy, But Chingy Is A Commodity, And Is Used For His Wierd Voice And Charm..
Eminem Has Skill, But He Is Also A Commodity Because He's A White Rebel..
This Draws Attention To Him, And Stirs Contraversey.. America Thrives Off Contraversy..
But The Real Talent Is Underground Hip Hop.

Benefit
Immortal Technique
Mc Juice
Crooked I

On An On And On The List Goes, But They Refuse To Be Commodities And Are Independant.. It Is Actually A Smarter Way Of Doing Things...
But Lyrically, The Mainstream Only Has Nas, Kanye Has Good Content, Just Not Too Lyrical.. So The Mainsteam Won't Put Emphasis On Lyrics And Insight Tho, They Need To Produce What Lil Kids Will Buy, And What Brain Washed Trend Followers Want. So You Have Whack Mc's Running The Mainstream..
