Gangster Vs. Underground (pop, genre, Polish, rapper, quote)

ProggyMan · 10-20-2007, 01:04 PM

So yeah.

Underground. with a few exceptions it's the only Hip Hop I prefer. Admittedly my knowledge is pretty limited.

uh..

not to sound too condescending..
but im not seeing the point of this, seeing as how a lot of the time they're the exact same thing..

underground isn't a genre, its just, well, underground..

See many gangster rappers in the underground? Bascally underground vs. mainstream.

Last time I checked mainstream and gangster weren't synonyms.

ProggyMan · 10-20-2007, 06:43 PM

How many mainstream rappers aren't gangster though? 5, 6? Kanye West, Common, Talib Kweli...

Eh, I was gonna say. What's more, underground and gangster aren't antonyms.

I'd argue that the very best of the underground rap scene are their gangster rappers.
