Believe me man.. This is where underground rappers go wrong. They spend so much time trying to make tracks with sick multis and wordplay, but their taste in songs just isnt what people are interested in hearing or playing on the radio. Which means their shit will never be mass appeal and they can never reach the pinnicle of the rap industry no matter how skilled they are on a mic..

This is why you wont see rappers like canibus all over TV or all over the radio.. Becuase the music he makes just isnt mass appeal and his vocals are stange...(meaning not something you can jus bust put playing anywhere and everyone will be digging it) nahmean?

Talk down on his lyrics all you want, but on a music level... Dont go there my friend..

And yeah I wanna make money off hip hop.

So you understand why I was arguing the other day about that shit on aim..

Don't forget...it's still music...and the most important thing is for it to sound good.
