i was calling you cipher, as in, an irrelevant & insignificant person. a fucking non-entity. get it, fuckwit?

"I appreciate the fact that you were talking about eminem being popular and then you go and say you didn't say that." no, i said that i didn't say he was NOT popular. seriously, reading comprehension is not one of your strong points. mind you, you don't seem to be good @ anything, but reading seems to be comparatively harder for you.
there a bigger irony than a nun having sex? yes, it's Cypher456 calling someone illiterate.



your both fucking dumbfucks. what the fuck are u even arguing about

One Mic is right

Its fair to call Eminem mainstream, BUT a large portion of his subject matter (even on relapse) is not mainstream at all. Its not the usual commercial garbage you hear from other mainstream rappers.
So yes sacjb, Eminem IS mainstream, but hes good mainstream, an example for most of the other commercial artists

doesn't mean he's part of the 'mainstream' either. there's a middleground. it's not either underground or mainstream.


How am I confused when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about? Just admit you were talking about Eminem being popular and then you changed the fact you were only talking about his music. Fucking idiot...

Anything Dr. Dre is mainstream.

Wow dude you haave the most dumbest fucking comebacks. Gob, loon? You serious? Stop using those kangaroo jack jokes on me because they're obviously not doing you any justice. You stopped arguing because you're too dumb to hold a stable argument without changing your story first. So you do admit saying hes popular, and then you tell me you weren't talking about him being popular. You're a dumbass, just stop trying.

You are allow to discuss, but when half of the posts contains "you stupid fuck, dumbass, fuck you" and all that, then its not a debate.

What do you think being mainstream is you shit stein? Just because hes not all over MTV right now doesn't make him underground. There is no in between, you are either underground, or mainstream. I'm sorry that you're so stupid that I have to use the same word once when you don't understand the meaning of it. Stop trying to break it down to your own belief of what being mainstream is, because it's pretty pathetic.


e people or things representing the most common or generally accepted ideas and styles in a society, art form, etc

generally when ideas are accepted more that means its a POPULAR IDEA. That is the definition of mainstream. Now for god's sake shut the fuck up already, you lost this argument.
