I said TO ME LOL! Sorry for having you waste your time writing all that, but it was pointless.

Basically said that TO ME, I don't care what you call it...mainstream, independant, underground, blah blah blah...if I like it..I like it, if it's good, it's good. I think it's immature to like ONLY underground or ONLY mainstream just based on stereotypes...mainstream=gangsta rap...that's dumb, a lot of underground artists spit 'gangsta rap', it's a genre of rap, it doesn't mean 'mainstream' LOL, if anything, it's the opposite of mainstream. My favorites that I listed are because I like them, but I also think they are the best at what they do, better than all types of artists...that post might be the dumbest one I've read on this site...you compare Purple Haze [which doesn't exist lol] to underground LOL! If anything, the one's that made it are the dank buds, and the independant artists are the swaggity swagg trying to make a name, but can't quite get there [I know this isn't always the case].

Most artists were underground at one point obviously, but a lot were just smarter than others and turned their talent into a business opportunity. Not selling out, just being smart, why be broke or work a shitty job?...you don't call an artist who sells their painting's a sell out, just a good business man/woman.
