Hip/Hop & Rap *Must Have Albums*

Simply horrible.

We were talking about how underground will always remain underground for one reason. Hooks. People want something catchy and gimmicky so they turn to the hooks. On average a mainstream rap verse isn't that long and is basically only filler for the hook. Underground shit is totally different the hook doesn't have to be all that but the verse may be 1-2 minutes long and people simply lose interest b/c theres nothing they can hum
