4) (cont.)... that develop, just as R & R has its many genres and ways. Some people work for the validity and money of pop and mainstream, others reject it, and some are great enough to transcend and control it.

3) (cont.)...like "Lil Wayne doesn't know good rap", you have to give it a chance. It's challenging to do so because he partakes in the industry and is popular, but even he is real and raw in his own way. Like his lyrics from some song: "jump off a building, jump out a window, smoke like a junkee, and fuck like a nympho".
It's raw and ill in it's own different way and style, just as S.O.M. are in this song. Part of hip-hop is the different styles and ways...

2) (cont)...and exists today. It just exists in different places than it did in the 90's, maybe that's through choice or purity or the qualities that mainstream became to be more. Nothing is eternal in mainstream, things are mostly transient possibly because of things like money that make it centralized and deflects/avoids the idea of art in music. It seems that only rarely can artists can transcend that, like Amy Winehouses' music or something.
As for saying...

1) I think it's important and helps to know that centralized market music sounds the way it does for a reason (this can be profit-driven industry...this/that...comprom
ised etc.). Everyone knows what's good/bad music. I agree it can make us the type that hates everything about the word "current" and what comes out of it, and the "new shit" that everyone is unavoidably exposed to. The good music you can call it underground or whatever, is still alive...
