The High School Me Would Be So Disappointed...

But this is absolutely how I feel. I remember when I first started rapping it was all about being "underground", "real", and "hip-hop"; anything else was sellout bullshit. Nowadays, I have a great appreciation for pop music and the songwriting that goes into making a great all-around hit. It may also be that "pop" is not exactly as looked down on in hip-hop as it was in the past. Maybe that's why we get "Laffy Taffy", "Crank Dat", "Pop Champagne", and so forth...It's not all going to be good, but the real artists are there if you look for them.

I guess it's like Eminem said,

All I hear is I'm the best at this and I'm the best at that/
But I don't hear my name no never brought up in rap/... 
But when they say one of the best I'm nowhere thought up as that/...
Not even the same league as Jay-Z, NaS, Pac, Biggie/...
Say...all hear is pop tunes on the radio/
And they play Em twenty times in a row daily/
And that very well may be the same reason they don't say me/
When they speak on hip-hop legends which jus amaze me/
Cause I thought the formula was to hit mainstream/
And make it big, B-Big Big, baby baby!!/

Personally, I would love to get played on the radio twenty times in a row.
