What if your favorite underground rapper turned mainstream?
Posted by adminAug 30
Imagine if you favorite rapper went got signed to a major label:
Would you still support them if they started to rap about girls and money rather then what drew you to them?

If they got signed to a major deal, but still rapped with a meaning, then I would obviously still support them, or else I wouldn’t be a true fan. But if they sold out (**cough** Kanye **cough**) then I wouldn’t support them, who would?

Hell no.
That’s why Nas makes me so damn angry, he cant make up his mind.
If Immortal Technique or Slug did that, I would die, literally.

EDIT: i forget to read your statements below. i would say no unless the rhyming is still the same, the flow is still there and the message that he portrays in his album, not from singles, is still there.

i’d probably hang on for as long as i could. money is gonna come into play sooner or later so you have to kind of expect them to go mainstream and fall in with the rest. competition

i would have to say 50,ya-yo,lloyd banks.believe me i love those cats and remember before they got signed they were always rapping over the beats of the most popular songs of that time.they made incredible songs that caught every-ones attention.but after getting signed they all kinda had to go mainstream.they did not have the same hunger and it showed on all of their albums.i cant knock the hustle because they are filthy rich and im here typing out answers to questions that really don’t matter.its all good though
