alright I've finally bothered to read this entire thread...and all i can say is wow.
1st. I want to apologize for the racist remark, it wasn't meant to be a "only blacks can do rap" type message, it was more about getting a grasp on who you are...as in how you portray yourself.
It's one thing to like hip hop it's an entirely different thing to lower the manor in which you speak in order to further fit in with the scene that you hang out in. I've heard enough people in this thread drop "aight dog" and "homie" to realize enough time in this thread could actually lower your intelligence.
I like how Hockey spends the opening 8 pages of the thread saying how much he likes Lloyd Banks and how he keeps asking what people think of him only to say...

Lloyd Banks is less then average. Eminem is above average. Dice u listen to anything else?
at the end of his posts. Didn't he just post ripping me a new ass-hole because of how bad Eminem sucks?? That, MF D00M...is IRONY.
tell me, how are eminems lyrics unique when he bites other rappers such as Masta Ace...you didn't know that did u...so now u know
Please explain. So Masta Ace raps about his screwed up relationship with his mother, his drug addicted wife, and his drug problems. If so...then you're correct....NO, I didn't know that, and can you honestly give me one legitament reason why I would want to know that? k..
and have you ever been to Tower Records or any other place where they sell albums.....****ing filled with underground albums....i dunno i really like the INTELLIGENT, WITTY, UNIQUE style lyrics the underground has to offer....if the mainstream offered that, sure i would listen too
Ever heard of Amoeba Records? yah I've been there once or twice. Mostly there to collect some old school vinyl albums for my friend's birthday, and to further my classic rock collection...but yah, I've been to Tower, Virgin, Amoeba....and a couple of mom n pop type stores that had ALLLL of the underground stuff you guys are discussing....granted I felt out of place in the store.

😆 😆 😆Exactly Hockey. That didn't make any sense. He talks shit about hip-hop because of it's mainstream artists ( the most "successful" money wise), and then goes and says good music is judged by success. Hahaha, the irony.
and exactly who are you to say that isn't a good song? It's catchy...sure it doesn't have the greatest lyrics, but what it lacks in structure, it makes up for with an EXTREMELY catchy beat. ANY popular Southern California (or probably US) night club has had that song spinning night in and night out. It's not a song I personally care to defend, but it is very successful song. Who are you to say what good music is and isn't? Anyone with atleast a half way decent high school education would know that it's all up to PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Why do the likes of you and HH sit here and try to tell people what good music is or isn't? Who made you the authority on the subject? Do you get paid to tell people what they should think about music? Thanks...
Underground artists, though I know little about them, are professional musicians none-the-less. They don't flip burgers and fries during the day and rap in their off time. You talk as if being an underground artist is actually better than being mainstream. When you do something for a living (like rapping) you don't do it "for the love of the music" you do it for the money. Some people require less money than others, so in that respect, maybe being less of a financial success as an underground artist is acceptable, as long as it still pays the bills. Besides, I'm sure there are LOTS of underground artists that make a DAMN good living doing what they do. But what I'm seeing you do is talk sh!t on mainstream.....basically just because it is main stream.
In that regard...
You....try....too....hard.
