[quote="@/\/G3L":7ce4e]I have actually heard more "underground" rap than the mainstream stuff. They both suck. Most of the sounds can be made on a cheap midi keyboard. If i can find somewhere to host it i can put up some of the stuff that i have done. No lyrics or anything just beats with some other stuff in it.[/quote:7ce4e]

Well you're either lying or listening to what you THINK is "underground" rap.....You're probably just listening to shitty mainstream attempt hiphop or maybe just shitty underground rap. I mean, you say you've listened to it, but you've probably only listened to like one song or one group.....and you're writing off a whole genre which is fully ignorant and a fucking moronic thing to do to any genre of music.

The rap and hiphop I listen to generally has intricate beats made from samples cut from old LPs/Vinyl and shit like that. Not easy to make. As much as you think it is, it isn't.

You've probably only heard mainstream crap-hop, that's the only rap the public sees, so thats the only representation of the whole hiphop genre that the general public have access too.

It's pitiful that a whole genre of great music gets written off because they're represented by a pack of money hungry morons.
