Well, i mean...
okay
here, look at immortal technique, underground. But everything he raps about is about going to prison and shooting his friends mom (its sincere, not bragging).
I mean, thats as gangsta as it gets isn't it? But he tours with "the underground' artists. I think what you see on tv is simply just pop music dress 'gangsta' (w/e that really means, who knows)
I mean you see good charlotte on tv advertising themselves as 'punk' but would you agree with that then? Its the same thing
