Forget the commercial wise thing, there's too many kids in the Industry, period. Teens and kids.
Dude, you my homey, but opinion-wise I'm about to go off.I'm tired of people all upset about hip hop because of commercial hip hop. I never ever complain about commercial hip hop, you know why? Because I never listen to the radio. I'm not bragging, I'm just suggesting it as it makes my life more enjoyable.The more we get annoyed by commercial hip hop the more we are confirming the non hip hop community's view that that shit is an actual representation of the art we're into...and it's not.-T

Teens and kids.Of course, this is all in discussive fun...ahem:Can you show me some of the non-radio played kids? Show me some underground kids? Name me all the kids that are gonna be at Murs' underground hip hop fest? It's just the commercial aspect of ANY and ALL music that is so consistently made bad for the lowest common denominator, it's easy to ignore with a 'click'. Just don't let it be hip hop cause it ain't and it won't be.-T

But I guess that'll make it commercial wise. I'm wrong. Ya'll gotta hang in wit me here. I put myself in my own holes.But to answer your question, I don't listen to that kind of music barely so I couldn't tell ya.But ya'll understand where I'm TRYIN' to come from?? It's all kids in the business, like damn. None of them are making their own music, maybe Neyo, but it's the rest that's all kiddy shit. It's all poppy High School music. Ya'll FEEL me?? Yes, of course there's been kids in the industry many times before but fuck it's on a whole different level now. They runnin' it.
high school kids are the only ones left buying albums probably. once you get into college its all torrent and other bootlegging. gotta play to your demographic
