Quote (Lord_Meth) that doesnt mean your mainstream
They aint got any videos on BET or MTV, no airplay in Omaha (If your shit makes the radio from LA in Omaha your mainstream) they aint winning no awards, NOTHING
them niggas is underground dispite the LARGE underground fans they got mainstream aint just about the radio man, if you let the radio dictate what catagory people are then this movement is gonna sit here complaining forever. those guys are mainstream, immortal technique has 2.5m views on 1 video man thats more then some number 1 records get, they are known about, not in the same way as lil wayne but anyone with half a clue about hip hop knows and thats more then enuff people

Yeah, I would say MF Doom is underground. Just because he may have a large following doesn't mean he is mainstream.

EXACTLY! btw, i agree with you on the point you made earlier. i'll rephrase -- if you want to actually make it in the UNDERGROUND hip hop scene you need to be dope. that's why most of these underground cats doing BS like crunk, snap, etc. are virtually unknown. if you wanna make it on the mainstream there is no such requirement.

what im saying is letting the media define whos mainstream is nuts, doesnt make any sense i think doom shifted 10,000 units in his first week on born like this, idk but in my opinion that aint underground thats mainstream, just because it doesnt compete with the people whos every song gets air doesnt mean its not mainstream

10,000 units is not that much. "Mainstream music is music that has ties to corporate or commercial entities."

Quote (J-Breakz) 10,000 units is not that much lol? from the same article "However in the reality, the mainstream is far from cohesive; rather the concept is often considered a cultural construct"
