Since the early to mid 90’s, hip-hop has undergone changes that purists would consider degenerating to its culture. At the root of these changes is what has been called “commercial hip-hop". Commercial hip-hop has deteriorated what so many emcees in the 80’s tried to build- a culture of music, creativity, and artistry that would give people not only something to bob their head to, but also an avenue to express themselves and deliver a message to their surroundings.. The underground hip-hop scene has emerged as a circuit where young, talented and intelligent emcees can thrive. Their message is less abrasive and violent. While not all underground artists are choir boys, they are not barking over mics in a frenzy either.. They play small, sometimes dark and dank venues in front of a couple hundred people or much less than that. BUT FUCK THAT I'M JUST GONNA MAKE TRACKS AND PUT ON A GREAT SHOW NO MATTER WHAT MY TOPIC IS....SPAWK
