how can you guys dis JaRule and say that he went pop when every single mainstream rapper does the same thing? everyone of them..even your beloved Eminem. the whole idea of music is to sell records and to make money. these people make these "bounce" and "I love you" tracks to sell records. anybody who says otherwise is either lieing or misinformed. heres an example, what is the title of 50 Cents latest album? "Get Rich or Die Trying." that says it all right there. and for those few rappers who dont sell out to make it big ,(J-Live, Demigodz, Aesop Rock) sits a destiny to die with the income of an average man. this is why i hate mainstream everything. the people who are real to themselves and to the fans make thousands upon thousands and in some cases millions less than the people who sell out. what happened to making music because you love it? what happened to dropping a dope punchline just to make people smile? its almost non-existant today to see rappers who arnt in it for the money. to me, that is a sad sad thing. thats one of the reasons i like the internet scene, with the exception of maybe two or three nobody is signed, nobodys making money, you just do it because you love rap. its pure here. this is one of the last remaining places it has left..
