Some people might say the commercial opportunities that being mainstream affords (endorsements, contracts,acting roles,club appearance and performance fees,etc) are better. That's the advantage of what being on a major or mainstream is, alot of the leg work is taken out and you get more opportunities.

Its already been said...

Making money while making the music I want to>>>>a few pop hits then being that "applebottom jeans guy" in 5 yrs wit the pushed back hairline.

Tech is the most successful indie rapper period, and his black fan base has picked up over the years

I think this goes down to personal integrity, ambition, but more than likely greed.

Some artist fine making their music and being accpeted for what it is.

Oppose to constantly trying to appease an all to fickle mainstream audience, tryin to find to one "hot" sinlge you THINK they will like

and than having to constanly push back their album when it's not accept by the radio and mainsteam

FloRida atleast ppl know who you are....da fuck is Tech9

I'd rather have the money and not be a "celeb"...

Cosign, them lawyers fees and lawsuits has got to add up being extremely famous.

 

[McGeeAKey]

Plus what these dudes sayin Flo-rida, dont get is as soon as you cant make a hit or you become to formula-based with your music...those mainstreem fans turn quick.

If you keep ur core audience happy, your good. Thats why Ja Rule feel off so hard, 50 took his mainstream spot and Ja alienated his own fans wit that bullshit music he made.

On the low, I heard Flo rida can actually spit tho and sounds completely different than what we hear now.

Fame is a Lie...It isn't real because the same people who claim to love you will turn on you in the blink of a eye

 

[BeardedFreak]

FLO-RIDA

I call bullshit on any nigga still saying money > fame...we currently live in a fame crazed society...thus, fame is in many ways is more valuable than money (in today's society/generation).

MOney > Fame is just some keep it real bullshit niggas say to sound down...just like "Money over bitches"..."I don't love these hoes"..."Don't Snitch"...and any other cliche bullshit hood shit....in spite of those popular phrases...niggaz do all that shit I just said EVERYDAY

in conclusion, statistics and history dictated that most you niggaz will do the same shit with this scenerio and if given the opportunity many of you would sell your souls for fame....

Fuck bein famous, a nigga like tech n9ne can make his music, make his money, and for the most part go anywhere he wants and enjoy his life without people all in his face, just like slim williams
