Well I agree they have gotten a lot more popular in the mainstream since the 'Request Line' off the Bridging the Gap album but I don't think they've changed their sound much since then. That's why I was interested in the categories... I mean I've heard those groups boxed under the Underground heading before or even as Urban but exceptions like you just said kind of break the definitions. I still think the sound of BEP is like J5 and Dilated Peoples but if there is the opinion that they are more pop or mainstream they really can't be underground. Just a brain fart...
