Isn't it weird that the verbally exceptional artist are not chart toppers / top sellers and have been labeled "underground" artist.
Artist / groups like talib kweli, mos def, dead prez, jean grae, mad skillz, wordsworth, canibus, immortal technique, etc. are creating some of the most dramatic, unique & prolific music to date.
It seems to me that the more intelligent your lyrics are, the less attention you will get.
In contrast, in the past (80's through early 90's) groups that were lyrically superior like eric b & rakim, public enemy, krs-one, stetsasonic, tribe called quest, queen latifah, mc lyte, etc. were widely known as the best artist and there record sales relected just that.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts?
