Firstly, mainstream music has provided much better music then underground music. And if you disregard an artist for the sole reason that its mainstream, then you're as stupid as someone who says I like mainstream music purely because its popular.

5 star post.

I never understood why so many people who listen to "underground music" which half the time isn't remotely close to being underground always find the need to place themselves on some type of musical high horse lol. Without the underground you wouldn't have the mainstream, and without the mainstream you wouldn't have an underground. I still listen to eminem and lil wayne because i enjoy alot of the metaphors and punchlines.

If I stopped listening to these artists because they made the transition from the underground to the mainstream then I guess i'd have to stop listening to Technique aswell.

Btw: Welcome mate =)

Most artists aren't underground because that's where they wanna be, it's because they lack the talent to be popular.

Not true immortal technique could be mainstream but he choices not to be

Sean is saying that in-general most underground people just lack(ed) the talent to become popular. It doesn't apply to all. What he is saying is true.

Why do you say this? Technique doesn't have the flow to be mainstream. Tech could not break into this market. If Technique truely was about spreading his message, then he would want to go mainstream, to spread his message to more people.

I think JR meant that tech chose not to be comercial

No look at his lyrics in his songs his lyrics are great if he was a mainstream artist a lot of people would like him and more people like him everyday
