I'm sure Gang Starr was underground at the beginning of their careers, but they are revered as one of the all time greatest groups. Their videos were all over MTV in the 90's.

Thats a tough 1 but when you look at his fan base and his demographics I’d say yes Royce is a huge underground rapper almost mainstream but you can easily say he is mainstream because he Does so much with Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan5121 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I used to love rap when I was a teenager in the 90s. Three Six, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Do or Die. Loved them. I must have gotten old because I can’t stand to listen to that garbage now. Hoe this, whore that. Making up words to make them rhyme. Hip hop is dead to me now. I’ll still listen to 90s rap or Christian rap, but nothing current and secular (I don’t judge people who do either!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you eve get the chance to see him live don't miss out. He'll make a song on the spot just by people pulling stuff out of their pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
