I think underground starts with content, and the real shit they spit on doesn't jive with the mainstream so they stay where they are. My man soul khan is a great example.

Soul Khan - Morning Alone f Nicholas Ryan Gant (Official Video) - YouTube

This video is fuckin amazing. but it wong get much exposure cuz he doesn't appeal to the top 40 crap rap croud.

You calling me fat? Low blow. Why would you say such a mean thing like that?

Or do you think mainstream and underground hip-hop is measured by financial success i.e. how many albums sold, major record deal, etc.?
Would someone who raps about bling, getting hoes, and being a gangster but is virtually unknown and has no album sales be considered mainstream or underground to you?

No, The Main Difference Between Mainstream And Underground Is The Exposure / Financial Success. The Content Has Absolutely Nothing To Do With It BECAUSE...There Are Tons Of Old School Mainstream Artists Who Rapped About "Mainstream" Subjects (Money, Hoes & Clothes, Gangsta Shit) Yet They're Somehow An Exception When Kids Say (Current) Mainstream Talks About The Same Shit And Underground Talks About Real Shit. On The Contrary There Are Millions Of Underground Cats Who Rap About Mainstream Subjects Yet They'll Never Be Famous.

There Is Plenty Of Real Shit Mainstream Artists Have Dropped (2Pac, Eminem, Nas, Rakim, Andre 3000, Black Thought, etc.)
And Then There Is Stupid Shit On The Underground Side Too But Just Because It's Not Popular Doesn't Make It "Good".

Money and Marketing. gotta be the biggest diff
