but to answer the question i like alotta artists thats underground but i dont think its by choice

do u think its becuase they can;t play half of the music on the radio? (as in abrasive lyrics) or just becuae they aint popular and or got the hookups to be played on the radio?

Most of what I bump would be considered "underground". Then again, rappers like Dru Down, 4-Tay, Spice 1, etc. had some commercial success back in the 90s. It's not a matter of principle though, it just happens that most mainstream rap nowadays is weak. A lot of of underground rap is garbage too though. If my favorite rappers could go mainstream without changing their music too much, I'd support em.

hyphy isnt undergroud, it is catered to mainstream while it may be not selling like mainstream it for mainstream listeners(the sound and beats)
