well:

Commerical - Focuses more on Money values, having money, having bitche's and phat rides. Having your albums widespread across the globe, artists attendting award ceromies etc..

Underground - Focuses on a more deepful meaningful concept to the raps. It's a struggle in real life. Your albums only getting local radio play and not being mass produced by a big record label.

This is more definition, but when i said, " Focuses on a more deepful meaningful concept to the raps. " - dosn't mean that commerical arists DON'T do it.

Mainstream is thought of as a stream because it is so shallow.

no im exactly right. this is just like people who says lyricists are diffrent form rappers,

comercial means your well known

underground means your not well known

i dont know why kids on the net try to flip shit.

just like most the people here think they are backpackers cause they listen to underground rap, when a backpacker is actually a graffitti artist who caries all his stuff around in a backpack.

dumb ass net heads

to underground heads he is well know but out side of us people dont know him. if he died he wouldnt make MTV news. he is underground. if had a video on MTV i guarntee 90% of the people would think he was a new artist

comercial doesnt mean pop. emeinem, jay-z, nas, mos def, talib, rakim, gangstarr, all of them are comercial but that doesnt make them pop.

people seem to think that just because someone is on MTV that they are pop and thats just ignorant
