Underground or mainstream? Mainstream or underground?

Here's my very blunt response to all of this: Just shut the f uck up and enjoy the music. You "underground" heads won't be any less "underground" if you listen to an MC that's less abrasive or collaborated with a popular producer. And it won't kill a "mainstream" head to listen to a rapper that doesn't sound like a R&B reject over a beat that you can't do the Soulja Boy to. In fact, I think that we hip-hop heads tend to patronize the term "underground" and s hit on the term "mainstream" too much sometimes. It's just like when people patronize "conscious rap" and overly-condemn "gangsta rap", which every hip-hop fan hates.
