That Cracka J, if you didn't get into gangsta rap when you did, would you be as into it as you are? Would you be into it at all? I don't know if I would.

"Pop/commercial" and "mainstream" are different IMO.Eminem and 50 Cent are certainly mainstream but not pop or commercial.
Now I know those two aren't the biggest names in hip-hop, but that's all me and my crackaz used to bump '92 to present time.
And anybody with a half-of-a-brain knows that if Eminem or 50 cent didn't sell any records, they would still be considered as underground artists, only loved by the Back-Packer crowd. Em and 50 are underground artists (check their resume) and fools can't be mad cause they sold a gang of records. You come into this business to make money, point blank. So going "pop" or "commercial" can be good or bad, considering your take on the words itself and how you take your art.
