Yeah dude that's wrong...

1. "Underground" is more of a broad term used to describe independent. Independent hip hop is entirely different from commercial hip hop, or what you would most likely call "mainstream"...

Independent hip hop is called a few of these things by haters and the like:

emo rap
nerd rap
backpacker music
etc.

Commercial hip hop is called gangster rap by most of its fans...

You see the subtle differences between "emo and nerd" and "gangster"...

2. So even if they are different, all music is music huh? So by that logic a pastel painting is the same as a fingerpainting? They're both just paintings right?

Or, heres something hopefully you can relate to... Schwag is the same as purp basically... There's absolutely no difference between the two, right? They're both just weed...

And we both know that's not true... I mean, jeez, think of all the care taken in growing a purple haze plant... And all the neglect of growing some dirt.

Let's take a little further and compare purple haze to indy rap, and compare the dirt weed to gangster rap...

The independent rappers were for the most part raised in the suburbs, they're smart, insightful, have a variety of topics, etc... It's appreciated by your more than average hip hop head

Like the haze plant which was raised meticulously in excellent conditions... Your hardcore pot head enjoys the purp the most, cause it's clearly better right?


And the dirt? Well, it's raised in piss poor lighting and accidentally got Windex sprayed on it a few times when you was cleaning the windows... Kind of like gangster rap... Who enjoys the dirt weed? Your beginner pot smoker... And who enjoys gangster rap? Your average hip hop head...

And who cares how good Lil' Wayne is... being the best mainstream rapper still makes you the smartest retard... Still sucks...


Sorry for the length, but I love music, and no ones really pressed that topic on a forum I've been on in a while.
