ok, it depends on the artist but i'll try..

well of course u can listen to whatever u want..if i went into a mainstream forum to chat, i would not start listening to lil wayne or 50 cent because thats all they might allow, i was in the this is 50 site once but i respected that they did their things in there...its about respecting what others believe....u have ur preference..that should be respected just like i would not go into a mainstream site and start dissing their fav artists or saying, why yall listen to mainstream? its discusting choice lol they in their right place, it not right to raid in their parade is all...

some mainstream is good, even artists like wu-tang and nas are mainstream

exactly...this is wat dis post should really be about

there's a difference between industry rap and hip-hop in the industry...sometimes ppl in here mix it in which aint true...i dont listen 2 industry rap i listen 2 hip-hop in the industry

thats why i dont listen to artist no more, i listen to songs, most of us all love underground so dats not complicated but we should really break down the "mainstream" into sections because category's of mainstream music are being unfairly judged and passed over because its in the mainstream...i seriously suggest a break down

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I intended this to be about the music in the first place

"Mainstream does NOT neccesarely mean Whack on some rare occasions"

There are (few) mainstream artist who are good

fuck them racist ass dudes, i hate them

who do u mean by industry hip hop..are u talking kanye, 50 cent or any pop culture? i guess what u calling industry hip hop is what i call mainstream hip hop like wutang, talib, common, mos def and some that are accepted by the underground communities..then industry rap is what i call corporate rappers or hip pop..is that what u mean?
