Why Underground Rap Always Goes Mainstream
131Why Underground Rap Always Goes Mainstream
In this video I go over why and how the underground in the hip-hop space always seems to blend into the mainstream. This can be seen throughout hip-hop history but in this video I want to focus on the wave of artists from the soundcloud wave like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Playboi Carti, XXXTENTACION, and more, and relate it the current generation of artists like Yeat, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Summrs, KANKAN, Autumn!, Weiland, SoFaygo, and more. The 2016 XXL freshmen list is a great example of bubbling underground artists popping off into the mainstream and becoming some of the biggest artists to ever live. Today we discover how the underground rap scene tends to always become mainstream.
