Other than the fact that you named "Where I'm from" as one of Jay's best, you resort to the same bullshit that has gripped many clowns who try to be down. I'm am sick and tired of lames pullin that old ass underground card every chance they get. Your list isn't half bad, but when I see kiRAB talk about some obscure sucker who will never make it in the industry, I laugh. That argument only serves as a way of being rebellious against what is popular.
Artists that make hits are, for the most part, the better artist. Period. Read my post earlier in the thread.
That "sellout" shit is lame too, and I rofl every time. This is an industry. They are SELLING a product that people BUY so they can make a PROFIT and enjoy a fruitful CAREER. Morons.
Any of these "idols" you choose to worship will all tell you the same thing. Why do you think Mos Def and Talib have made relationships with Rocafella? The same with other "real" MC's you name?
Because they are showing these backpacking faggots that they have the WRONG IDEA.
Done.
