the reason why they cant go commericial is because they cant and nobody is feeling their style, Warren G has tried it, Daz Dillenger has tried over and over again, C-Bo and Mac Dre?? they are talented and im sure they cant to go commercial and Tha Eastsidaz havent gone commercial please... basically everybody in the rap game is in this for the money because how else are they going to make a living?

--- End quote ---


Of course every rapper wants to make money, why would they not.  But wanting to make money off records and going commercial are two totally different things.  How can you say Daz or Warren G have gone commercial.  If they had gone commercial you would hear there shit being played like 10-15 times a day on radio stations across the country.  I have yet to even hear Daz new single on the radio here in cali, and I have never heard anything from return of the regulator on the radio.  Their vidz would be all over the trl rotation on mtv.  I never watch mtv, but I highly doubt their vidz get played much if at all.  And you think Tray D and Goldie Loc have gone commercial ??? Please!  They represent gangsta more than almost anyone in the rap game.  Snoop pulls some commercial type shit with them, but them by themselves are nowhere near commercial.  Just listen to Goldie Loc's solo album, or Take Cover,  or any of Tray d's songs.  And I am not even gonna get into mac dre or c-bo.

kuniver:
obviously you werent around when "Regulators" came out then.. .and fuck, WARREN G and DAZ CANT GO COMMERCIAL, NOBODY IS FEELING THEIR SHIT, I HATE TO SAY IT BUT ITS THE DAMN TRUTH!... man you get caught up into the music, just cuz they rap it means they do it in real life..

Pillow:
FUCK COMMERICAL RAP and FUCK U ^^. i have been raping for 1 year now and not once have i wrote shit about the ice on my neck or the car i drive, i keep it real because i love making music. fuck the money, it would be nice to make more off it but its not worth the money to sell out and rap about garbagge. i make a living by working, not rapping, rapping is something i love and do on the side, if some 1 signs me i aint selling out for shit

=[Euthanasia]=:
SALES DON'T MEAN SHIT! If an artist/group I love sells double/triple platinum then it's all good but the difference with me is I don't support acts that only make music to chart and I don't support acts just because they sell good, fuck that, I want someone who makes music for themselves and stays true to their roots. 2Pac for instance, he never sold out, he never would and he sold like a muthfucka because fans like me know whats real and whats fake and manufactured, if you will. I could name a 100+ rappers/groups that are tighter than Nelly but don't sell as well, so at the end of the day it's not about quantity, it's about quality. Nelly may sell, good for him, I wish him well, but as far as quality goes he doesn't have what i'm looking for which is originality, creativity, meaning and heart.
