You're a worthless poster who's incapable of ever writing a thought-out response or coming up with an original thought. Your sole value to me on this forum was posting you god-awful Forever cover, which made me chuckle for 5 seconds and then never want to watch it again.

I doubt that. I agree that being catchy is hard. The only catchy underground artists that I've heard of are Tech N9ne (when he was underground), Hopsin, Wax (somewhat), Budden & Royce.

As I said, you can't find something catchier if it is not promoted the right way.

And your last sentence only proves that success doesn't depend on talent.

Copywrite has 3 or 4 catchy hooks but that does not make him an artist that makes catchy music.

No, the internet isn't exactly a blood-pressure-raiser for me. I just don't get how someone like you can spend so much time on here and make absolutely no valuable contribution.

I'm not trying to be condescending bro, but how many underground artists have you listened too if those are the only ones you can claim are catchy. And I listed a few on my previous post, throw in Krit if he's considered underground and Blu.

He said a lot of underground rappers have some catchy songs and you said false. He said nothing about being an artist that makes catchy music.

Being catchy isn't just having 3 hooks that get stuck in your mind. There's much more to it.
