24 vs. 48 does not mean the hook is 1/4 of the song lolololololololololololol it means its 1/3.


And you lose this argument, some does not mean 30-40% it means SOME. Like, a couple songs. Besides, id say 30-40% of underground music is catchy.


A song more catchy than any mainstream song out right now

I fall asleep to Sadistik and wake up screaming in middle of the night.

That being said Bed of Flowers is an amazing song.

Making any music requires some level of talent, no matter how shitty or idiotic it is. Especially if it's mainstream music. Lil Wayne, for instance, is very mainstream. And despite my dislike for him most of the time, he obviously has to have some level of talent to make it where he is today. That talent is just overrated. And Wayne does have talent, whether us Stans want to admit that or not. He doesn't use it to its fullest is his problem.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Just for clarification, I never meant this thread to say Soulja Boy = Diabolic or something, obviously not. All I'm saying, is both mainstream and underground takes talent. An incredible mainstream song is on par with an incredible underground song. Get it?

Really? So if there are two incredible songs, and these songs are both equally amazing, and one of them happens to be a mainstream song and the other is a underground song, the underground song will automatically win for you, regardless? That's very close-minded.

Where the fuck did that come from? You're an idiot.



Spoonfull's music is more catchy than almost every mainstream artist.

He's posed a reasonable scenario...


Why would someone have to choose? If they're both amazing, that's all that matters.

He's not saying you would have to choose. He is just saying that thinking one is BETTER only because its underground is close-minded.


Agreed
