Immortal Technique next to Akon and Rich Boy???
- Thread starter Aztek
- Start date
dont get me wrong. i own every myka 9 solo there is and hes probably my top 3 favorite rappers..i love underground music (although i listen to alot of southern rap, mainstream and gangster rap too)....
but immortal technique on the radio? that shit is laughable.
like you might hear immortal technique on the radio after 9pm, when mutha fuckas got better shit to do than tune in and the crazy mutha fucka is allowed to play records, but immortal technique will NEVER get air in the daytime. ever.
thats not even hating. no one wants to hear that mutha fucka rant all on the radio about politics and important events and reveloution and whining about why independent rappers arent making money blah blah.
i mean, do we all remember what happened on 106 and park when immortal technique battled?
that is a direct indication of how much no one gives a fuck about immortal technique.
sorry to break hearts, or what not.

and theres alot of underground artists that make it in the mainstream. matter fact, every fucking rapper thats sucessful is. lil flip was once, a underground rapper. do you think rappers just appear out of nowhere? they were all once underground rappers until they were sucessful.
the "underground rapper" and the situation you think of aztek, is some super space rap fool that you swear is gonna rise out of obscurity like the creature from the black lagoon and all the sudden make radio hits
that type of shit dosent happen.

without compromising who they are?...probably not. do i think they can hack it talent-wise? OF COURSE! you are talking to the king of all backpackers.but the biggest underground aritsts (little brother,mf doom,atmosphere,etc) have had plenty of exposure in many outlets with no success. dont see why even lesser known artists would have any more chance than they did.
people think that if you just put some dope underground rapper on the radio all of a sudden everybody is going to think its tight and they will blow up. doesnt work like that. if that was the case acts like i have mentioned would of blown up years ago.

why exactly, do they deserve airplay over akon and richboy?
what if i said that akon has a longer track record of producing music than you know? what if he hustles harder?
i dont listen to richboy much (ive heard one song) but why does a underground rapper deserve airtime over a song about throwing dayton rims on your car?
this is the radio were talking about. these people are singing about girls, parties, putting accesories on your cars and balling. if your in your car, that makes more sense.
put it this way. when your in the strip club, cannibal ox aint gonna make the strippers give everyone head for free.
theres a time and place for music. thought provoking underground rap just isnt the best fit for driving. and it dont bump in the car the same, niether.

You sign to a major record company so that they will support you, they take an investment in YOU.....but in return for the most part.....your shit is under the scrutiny of some wack record exec.....what does he know about hip hop?....we are the ones who know about hip hop.....and the artists who create it.....so yea...selling out homie
because making a song about throwing dayton rims on your car is just as retarded as making a song about eating a flinstones push pop while you ride a unicorn to venus. its just gay. especially when there have been so many songs on the radio about that same gay shit. theres just no substance to that content
no. kid rock music will. does that make kid rock cool?
clubs ok. but in the car? thought provoking underground rap sounds great in my car. i dont know, when im in my car it doesnt make me go, "hmm, i feel like listening to repetitive formulaic hip hop about clothes, jewlery, girls, and cars." id rather listen to right wing spanish religious radio than that bullshit
