I listen to Dre and underground, if mainstream is good, ill listen to it...im not the type to say only underground only underground, cuz i do listen to eminem and nas well eminem when he was good, as long as its good ill listen to it, but mainstream today just isnt good straight up, like nos said it is about lyrics, if 2 people are talking about 1 subject, and 1 person says it in a more intriguing way with wordplay and shit i'd rather listen to him cuz i like thinking about what the person says rather then them just flat out saying it which is what everyone in mainstream is doing today and everything is just royally fucked, yea you can make money off this as a profession, but that shouldnt be the ONLY thing on peoples minds, if a 50 cent verse intrigues you more then a canibus verse or chino xl or eminem etc., then you have problems and your mind is too simple, and thats what i think, if you dont know what the word theyre saying means then look it up and stop being lazy, you expand your vocabulary and the line might actually be fuckin genius if you know what that word means and can put it together.
