I guess I'd agree depending on what you consider mainstream and what you consider underground. I'd prefer mainstream pop rappers like BEP, Pitbull, Macklemore, Iggy, Minaj or Flo Rida to mainstream gangsta rappers like T-Wayne or Bobby Smurdha. There's also still people like Jay-Z, Drake, Fetty Wop, Eminem, and Lil Wayne who can carry non-pop hip-hop songs into the mainstream.

Would you consider J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West (modern/post-MBDTF), Childish Gambino, or Wale mainstream? What about Kid Ink or Future?
