Mainstream mixed with Underground

Postby Spyder » Jan 7th, '10, 18:30

who did it best?

who could make a track that got good play time on the radio for the mainstream fans to listen to, but also had the song be good enough that real underground fans like it as well.
obviously the album would be more of the underground feel so that he was more respected in the hip-hop community but got radio play and top chart hits.

ima have to say BIG, not being bias from my avi :sweating:
Juicy, Big Poppa, Mo Money Mo Problems, Warning
were all amazing singles. the radio fans could bump to em, while they were good enough to get obv mad respect by underground fans
