lol.. exactly. Artists like 50 never make timeless songs so instead they compensate with a new single every couple of months. The future generation will look back at corny dudes like 50 Cent in the same way we look back at MC Hammer.. for comedy purposes only.
The fact remains that the majority of people cant be bothered to find underground music (even though its easier nowadays with the Internet) and settle for what they are spoon-fed by radio stations and music channels like MTV. The hip hop that you find in the charts appeals to the masses because it doesnt require alot of brain power to digest and usually has a catchy beat to go with it. Not all underground is good but most of the artists are at least making music because they want to and they have a message instead of making music with no message to get rich. I personally enjoy listening to hip hop that has a message and makes me think, but judging by the amount of albums the commercial artists sell i am in a minority.
