How is that "genious".
THIS is genious:

"Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power - It opens wide
On your seventh day
Is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
All that you want"

E-cookie to who guesses.

and this:

"They dedicate their lives
To RUNING all of his
He tries to please THEM all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me"

If they became mainstream just because they got more fans by chance, fine. If they got mainstream because they tried to become mainstream by altering their sound, then they're sellouts and can, once again, **** off.

You chose the right time to say that. Just a few minutes ago I watched a video on Youtube about Lupe. He switched his flow from 'Gangsta' to 'Positive' when he turned mainstream/people started to listen to him. So could there be a exception if the change is for the better?
