Honestly, I like ALOT of mainstream artist. You just have to ignore the singles and look at the albums. But, I like..

Ludacris, Chamillionaire, Scarface, T.I., Young Jeezy (don't know why, lyrically he is trash), Eminem, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, The Game, Snoop Dogg, Twista, Common, Kanye West, Lil' Wayne (SOMETIMES), David Banner, Lupe Fiasco, NAS (OF COURSE), Juelz Santana..

So many more, just gotta look for their hot records.

Good point. Very true. I like Fab and I actually thought his last album was his best body of work to be honest.

Jeezy is far from a lyrical monster. But the majority of his two albums bang. Just period they knock and he has pretty good hooks. I also find his adlibs to be entertaining and borderline comical at times.

Oh and how could I forget Kanyeezy? He's up there with my favorite.

These guys are totally mainstream now. I don't know if AZ is really a mainstream artist, but if we're calling him that he's at the top of the list. LL is just behind AZ all-time.

At 15 weeks, which was a while ago. Lupe Fiasco had sold 430,911. So, he's certified gold.

That's really good to hear seeing as Food & Liquor stalled at around 200,000

Oh yeah he's definitely gold. He did his thing for this album. You've seen the video for Paris, Tokyo right? I just saw it like last week. Didn't even know he had a vid.

Yeah. Only seen it a few weeks ago though. I'm guessing it's going to be his next single.

Smooth ass joint. Takes you back on an old school tip. Lupe really did a great job with that album.
