I posted a buy or sell question the other day askin if the underground is better than the mainstream (in today's time). And for the most part I had people agree, but one comment stuck out to me from Holiday Dilla:
"my feeling has always been, that you can start out underground...hell even be there for five years, but if your music aint out for the masses, then what good is it to me.../ they [mainstream] got something about them that is appealing to the masses"
now my question is for anybody who agrees with this statement... If you believe that statement, than can you really complain about all the soulja boy's and DJ UNK's and MIMS' that we have out now? Cuz I mean, that's whats appealing to the masses, thats what the record labels feel is hot- you know??? I'm not tryin to start no huge rift or nothin like that cuz *I KNOW* there's talent in the mainstream, just like its garbage in the underground... but what I am sayin is, you only gettin what you asked for...
