I think of it like this... Most people have their handful of go-to bands they listen to when they are chillin or doin something around their place. Everyone chooses somethin different for the most part. But all these people also like to party. The girls like to drink and act slutty and the guys like to drink and find the slutty girls. So at clubs or parties, everyone is listening to the same music. And that's why it becomes mainstream, cause you have the driving force of the music industry (teenage and college age kids, mainly girls) listening to it every weekend. The only focus of these songs is to get people to party and dance. Mainstream rap in my opinion is just pop music for the most part. It's all just designed to be played at parties and clubs.

So, that was a kinda pointless rant. Anyways, I don't really have a problem with mainstream music AKA the Top 40. It serves it's purpose. I used to be all like "Lil Wayne and Drake suck, no way they are better than Big L or Nas!" But now I realize it's like comparing two different genres. The players aren't playing the same game so I can't compare them. But I pretty much think mainstream music is going to continue just being party music.
