That's true, but some of the artists are very popular in the underground scene, yet their clips are never on MTV.
I can't blame MTV though... why? Real hip hop is too brutal or serious. You see, nowadays people only want to hear a nice tune. If it has a message, that's a bonus... but as long as it has a nice tune. Generally people want to hear stupid stuff like 50 Cent, Lil Scrappy, Jeezy, Joc, Ying Yang Twins or whatever their fucking names are. Songs where people only moan and brabble bullshit, or rap about thug life bs. That kind of music is more appropriate in clubs for chicks to get wasted and shake their booties on.
Fame doesn't have much to do with skills when it comes to hip hop. And if you think Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique & Apathy are unknown, I'd say you haven't really been involved with the underground culture.
