@Marcownz747 Nicely put.

@TheSheldon038 My "beef" with it is that mainstream exists to make money, not to express a passion. Art is best when created out of a love for that form of art, not out of a love for fame... or a love for people loving your music.

@Marcownz747 no where did i say that its good if it sells. Carter 4 sold more than watch the throne but that doesnt mean i think its better because of quantity. But what is the REAL beef you have with mainstream music? If it doesnt cover what you want it to cover or talk about certain things that you value, why not just ignore it and listen to your type of music? I think people are mad because these "rappers" are making big money off of shit that people dont see as important.

@TheSheldon038 (2 of 2) And the flaw in your logic is that if it sells it must be good. The PROBLEM is that they make it to sell it, rather than to put something out with real emotion and impact.

@TheSheldon038 You dont understand why some people get upset with mainstream rappers? You dont understand why somebody who actually enjoys one form of art gets upset when somebody comes along and shits out something with a good beat but is completely amoral, in that it covers NOTHING of social value? Many people enjoy rap because of what it says, not because you can grind your dick on a girls ass while it's playing. Immortal Technique, for instance is an amazing rapper, but you cant dance to it.

I dont understand why people get angry at mainstream rappers and claim they dont have "talent". Maybe a lot of them do have talent and can talk about other appealing things rather than cars, money, fame and all that other shit. Maybe they are capable of saying something like this in music. But if they did, would they be where they are now? Maybe its the industry, and not the rapper, maybe its the FANS and not the rapper. If you buy it, why wouldn't they sell it?

I hate how ignorant people can be.
"Rappers" like lil' wayne have more money than they know what to do with while guys like this are struggling to get by.
This man has every right to shit on the mainstream.
He's got real talent.
