as much as i love them salem is nowhere near mainstream lol

ima keep pushing this tape cus its still too underrated
underground vibes with polished old school production

Doesn’t mean it’s underground at all

:​

Kendrick Lamar DAMN.

Luv is rage

All of these are f***ing mainstream

In a way

How tf is this underground

yall have an interesting idea of "underground"

Came to post burden of proof

Literally all these albums in this thread are either platinum/multi platinum or have literally millions of views and streams on numerous platforms

Tf is this thread

I thought the thread meant like mainstream mysterious music

ig the idea is whether they was underground when they dropped

like illmatic would be considered underground when it first came out, altho idk how that would be a good example for this thread since it dont sound mainstream at all

I think artists like lupe fiasco walk this line perfectly

Then that works ig. Like the mainstreams artist most slept on/underrated work that doesn’t get enough love from the masses compared to the other s***

And ATCQ
The Death nail for Native tongues

This album is so underrated amazing

“perfect balance of mainstream and underground”
pride, feel, fear, duckworth, yah, xxx could all be considered underground. 2 of these songs produced by 9th wonder and Alchemist which are legendary underground producers. not to mention the content on the album is not meant for a mainstream audience at all
