The other day i heard atmosphere on the radio and i was kind of tripping balls, i mean im glad hes making it, but to me something is taken away when an artist becomes overly popular, and their shit starts to get played out. Now at my school its cool to say you like the Grouch or Aesop or people like that. I just dont want underground to become the new fad. What does everyone, think, is underground about to take over MTV, or stay quiet?

some will make it. but some will stay underground. and there will always be new underground....

(did u wanna get choked again?? )

where i live by the time music gets here
its already run through the system and
really not the raw stuff that underground
music is, and inorder for underground to get
here it usually has to get through some
amount of exposure :\ dunno. shittl happn
and shit happens for a reason.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
Aesop.

My Kazaa Lite has downloaded more underground rap and varios forms of hentai pornography than your Kazaa lite.

Um... the underground is being dug up dude. I mean face it, everyone wants a peice of that pie in the sky. Everyone wants money, exposure, etcetera. Some people make it, some people don't. I don't care wether something is underground or not. I only care if it's good music or not. That's what is important. Of course Atmosphere is getting public air play. He was on fucking MTV dude. You don't get more exposure than that, do you? And I aint gon' say shit cause I know given the chance, I'd want to be on MTV as well.

Ok seriously. Fuck you guys.

ANY of you (Well maybe a select few wouldn't) would dance around naked and say "Yo niggaz I got dat ice and my paper on lock like a locksmith with keys and shit" if you got paid to do it. You shouldn't care if it's a fad or not. Be happy that these people are making money doing what they want to do! If you truly like it you will keep listening to the genre of music. I could care less if they were underground or not, as long as it's somewhat pleasurable to listen to. Some people only listen to "underground" music because they want to be all net-cool and shit on RB.. I like 50 cent, he has nice songs at times.. I also like Necro, one of the most fucked up people I have ever listened to..

In short..

Listen to what you like quit worrying about what everyone else is listening to. Dick.

^ it aint about for me that its underground
but mainstream it ... doesnt feel right ... it doesnt
feel like good music.. :\ too much beef like 2 pac he
was a good mc but what he had to die for was
shit shouldnt happen, sometimes i think its over fame
dont feel like hip hop .......

^Listen to what you like then.. Those artists, whether you like it or not.. Do not give a fuck about you.. And you should not give a fuck about them. Move onto the next.

^ i aint arguing i just aint a fad slut
but also no doubt if shot given
be on mtv to battle/bust a freestyle
not to just stand around to act like
i know shit :|

i would LOVE to see that. the world, needs to be like that with real hip hop being allover the radio and TV.

so it could show people hip hop isnt a bunch of ignorant people. rapping about stupid shit. so they could see rap artists actually have talent. and they might respect us more as artist

fuck anyone that doesnt want real hip hop to blow up.

yah, well underground is better than commercial at themoment shood underground shood try to stay underground but thats not for me to decide

i still consider Aesop and Slug to be underground MCs...but how can you possibly be underground if you're on MTV?? not that it really matters to me because i dont just listen to one type of music, underground, mainstream, etc..if it sounds dope I dont care what its classified as

Look. These Commercial .vs. Underground threads are becoming the next annoying Eminem .vs. Benzino shits.

Man-o-Man, once ya make'n ya cash, ya commercial. When people know ya, and they DOWNLOADING your music, your underground.

Makes sense to me.
