    The "underground" folks I've listened to most throughout my life are probably: Common Beanie Siegel/Memphis Dipset Immortal Technique Mos Def Talib Kweli I've never really listened to KRS, before my time. Nothing against him, just never dug into his portfolio.

    agree, I guess what I'm trying to say is "pop" is really a mix/fusion of some subgenre usually that gets big attention. does it have common characteristics? sure, hence why it's pop because they're doing something that has mass appeal. but I've always seen "pop" as just a representation of...

    Not really IMO. Michael Jackson Billy Joel Queen Madonna Whitney Houston Taylor Swift Eminem Beatles Rolling Stones Zeppelin Nirvana ^all pop, all very different "genres" Pop evolves and at different times certain genres favor more pop appeal than others, influenced by social/culture/tech...

    right, and Eminem is pop - I define pop as reaching a mass audience, not a "genre"

    But people do give it away for free, because tech has scaled. So there's a ton of people who are making beats who have spent close to $0. If anything I think it creates a more democratic way of getting fame. Pre internet it was whoever had enough money to pay the label or stations. Now if you...

    Always been that way though, look at every industry today, the MBAs took over. But it's part of the natural cycle. Steve Jobs hated the man, now Apple is the epitomy of a greedy corporation. "Selling your soul" or not. Depends on your goal, etc. Are you just trying to make art? Need money to...

    I personally can't relate to underground hip hip. I've of course listened to it and I'm a hip hop fan so understand the roots/history, and there's a lot of underground hip hop I like, though mostly the classics. It wasn't until hip hop turned into hip pop that I became hooked. Growing up it...

    I liked it. But Em Show came out when I was in middle school and I'm a white suburban dad who is a firearms owner but has never had to bust a cap in a MF, nor have I ever seen crack cocaine, so I think I'm the target audience. I've always been into the Pop/Rap and Eminem is who got me into hip...
