Underground Or Mainstream Success

<< < (2/4) > >>

7even:
I want to be a highly respected rapper who gets paid really well and still can live a normal life without too much fame and mainstream... pretty much what Nas is.

Sindrom:
Id just stay true to myself and if the mainstream happend to like me its all good but i wouldnt go making songs so the mainstream would except me.

daWappla:
depends... u can be "real" as a mainstream artist.. I dont know.. what is considered mainstream and what underground?....I think basically you could still be considered as a underground artist when you own a label and nationwide distribution deal but still don´t have to make any concessions.. to me mainstream means that you do what someone is telling you to do... selling yourself out for the big cheque... because thats why there is something like underground... people are doing music that only very few people can enjoy... you won´t see those names on the billboard charts..

to sum that up ... to me at least:

underground: do what you wanna do but only selling a few records
mainstream: selling out to a certain degree and reaching hundredthousands  or millions of people...

.. personally I´d stay underground to make the music where I could put my heart into but I  would try to make money with other projects... for example using a fake name to produce some pop bullshit... or pokemon soundtracks over in japan.. lol dont know....

Id go underground and do the idependant first then go mainstream.
