I noticed that people aren't hatin on 50 as much anymore since he's reached such a crazy barrier of success. Now that the man's worth $100M + people respect him more it seems
how fucking sad is that? its clearly NOT about tha music anymore ... its sad that MOST people these days who listen to your 50 cents/ Lil Waynes/Kanyes form their opinion based on how much money they have or how high up their video is on the TRL countdown. Ive been in many arguments with many different pro-mainstream people and they ALL have the exact same refute. I guess if you dont go platinum your basically shit.
And while there are some fans who appreciate these dudes for their music, for every 1 of them dudes theres 10 sheep that like it because BET/MTV/the neighbors dog told them to like it.
Like someone earlier in this thread said, "Form your own opinion", dont let BET/MTV form one for you. Fuckin sheep.
I dont hate the mainstream, I just hate the way people glorify it.
