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.

I love how you undies always call it "real hip hop" as if a small group of hoodie rockin lyric analyzers make that call.
I hate 90% of the shit thats on the radio/mtv. I just dont feel it. And im not saying underground rap is bad, I listen to El-P, RJD2, Cage, Anticon records and Ive been a Jedi fan since back when they were on Superegular.
Underground hiphop i have no problem with (aside form the fools that make a career out of dissing mainstread hiphop). The problem is the underground fans... the ones who think they are better then everyone else cus they can name shit no ones heard of, the ones who clown someone cus they listen to something thats on the radio, the ones that diss their favorite rapper cus they went mainstream cus they are tired of living in their moms basement and eating roach covered hot pockets, the ones that think they are cool cus they can name 2 more underground acts then the next guy. bla bla bla.
still the point stands. how can someone be the best rapper alive if not even 1% of music fans know they exist???

So fuck change, keep making the same ol shit talkin about the same ol shit in the same ol style. Lets not step it up a notch. Lets pretend we're battling the neighbor when we write our songs, ALWAYS. Or diss something in mainstream. I dont buy it James
