50's Get Rich album wasnt that commercial excpet for In Da Club and 21 Questions and P.I.M.P. But the Assacre was way more commercial.

50 cent is one of the most commercial generic rappers ever. The only thing about him that's original is we know how many times he's been shot without reading about it.

In the next twenty years I imagine we'll be hearing more about him and more of his music (unfortunately).
it's guys like him that'll keep underground alive though.

Yeah, you're right.
It wasn't that commercial, minus the three major singles that were played non stop on every pop rap radio station across the globe.

rap will likely become more commercial until a contrasting artist pops up and starts the genre over again, similar to what nirvana did to rock right when hair metal was the big thing.

But that's to say the underground will become almost nonexistant. And there will always be an underground for rap.

i dont know where rap will be in 20 years but right now a lot of people only know whats on the radio and they accept it.

I think rap will be in the same place it is today, the commercial garbage will always exist and so will the underground where the real lyricisits are....I also think there will be a few more different sounds to rap...grime will definately become more popular and there will be other styles coming out that will become popular also but come on....who doesn't love a commercial hit or two...especially when you are in the club and there's a new dance to go with it?
