Yay...And how I agree with that..
1995 was the dawning of hip hop purgatory, artists became greedy, vain and mass monotony ensued. Mainstream subsequently sprouted its new form of commericialism(which kind of split off into its own market), in other words they made music that supposedely "talked" to the population of housing projects/ghetto's etc of America. Sooo many artists/record labels knew that they could sell from this and so therefore jumped on that band wagon. Being that America has alot more Urban area's than other countries, this is what made rap so popular in Amercia(for the worse) and is causing problems to the music industry(IMO).
It seems a person(i.e me LOL) can only get a select few to listen to Underground stuff. Apparently people would rather listen to something monosyllabic that they can bump in their "ride" or "indaclub", rather than something that portraits a deeper message and is actually interesting....strange people
Doesn't stop me from bumping Aesop Rock in my brothers Saxo though..Hahaha...
Sorry I just had to post a couple of cents seeing as we were talking about hip hop and how bad the mainstream is...LOL
