There's a common misconception that mainstream= sell out. We gotta move away from that flawed way of thinking. It's one thing to be an up and coming artist and singing in bars that are mostly hole in the walls with rowdy,trashed fans........However, anyone's ultimate goal is to make it big. To be in front of a crowd of 50,000 plus fans screaming out your songs.Anyone who is passionate about their art wants to be recognized for their talent and creation.
The underground is just a scene waiting to explode onto the mainstream. Both required a movement of people to make it a scene.

Your friend's comments are typical but their off base. It makes a difference when you live through an era.
When freestyle was in its hey day it was mainstream and the albums might have been heavy on freestyle but there was a variety.

Expose-I think they have like 5 top ten hits of their debut album
George Lamond-his bigggest hit on the pop charts was with Brenda K Starr...''No matter what" went top 10...a couple of his freestyle hits went top 40
Brenda K Starr charted both on top 40 and r&B with "I still believe". Her freestyle songs were top 40 too
Cover Girls-Most of the songs that were release on their debut album charted top 20....their second album had their biggest hit that was top ten
Sweet Sensation-They had several freestyle songs that were also top 20.Their biggest song "if wishes came true" was almost # 1
Stevie B charted top 40 with his freestyle stuff. Almost went number 1 with "because I love you".
Safire,Pretty Poison,Taylor Dayne.Linear....I could say the same for..

Bro,there's like 20 more examples of this. Look it up...don't take anyone's word as fact...I always triple check everything anyone is try to sell me or bring to me as fact.Usually, most people are wrong cause we live in a clueless stupid society.That's another subect though.

Just by your own example here, you're proving my point. These artists who you mentioned scored Billboard top 40 hits with mostly non-freestyle songs. Very few of the examples you mentioned were freestyle songs. A lot of freestyle songs from these artists charted on the Billboard dance chart, but not the all around chart. And the few that did are just that (a few) and that's during freestyle's best days.
 
Kid,I have a response for you but just not right now since I'm chilling with family.

BUT this is TOO FUNNY. I was watching the the 2Rude Old School remix of Down that I posted with my niece and nephew and when the video is done on youtube...The suggestions that popped up are other Jay Sean songs but the one that stuck out like a sore thumb was "Thoughts Of Her" by Kid Heartbreak lol. My bad KHB, I have to put you on blast, you criticized "Down" but you linked the song to the freestyle remix I posted..........Hilarious!

I gotta say that this showcases whats so broken with freestyle. I think you did a hell of a job with this video,as a singer anyone will throw you with tomatoes. You should seek out work doing videos cause this is what u do best.

I wasn't criticizing "Down" as a song. I was criticizing it being labled as "hardcore freestyle" or even "freestyle" enough to be put on a hardcore freestyle countdown. I like that song a lot, but when I said "something was missing" when hearing it after hardcore freestyle, I meant that it doesn't have that certain flava that a hardcore freestyle record should have, but that in no way means that it's not a good song. It's a great song.

I didn't link my song to "Down" or any remix of it. YouTube does that on it's own based on what others who watched the video also watched. The freestyle remix of "Down" was posted on YouTube the same day or day after my video went up there and I'm assuming that most freestyle heads who were checking out one of those videos were also checking out the other. Hey, I don't mind, it's an honor having my video linked to that Jay Sean remix, lol. They got my song linked to some of the Jay Sean remixes and some of the different Chicago mix tapes. Someone even made a bootleg version of my video. That's a dope piece dude put up there.

There's no such thing as hardcore freestyle in this day and age. We are lucky to even have something remotely sound high quality.

You can't be hardcore when you're imitating a sound long gone and do a terrible job at it. At least that's what my newphew said when I play him a freestyle song that came out in 2009..."Terrible...you call that music".I'll let him be the judge.

So any current projects you're working on. You obviously have a passion for this.

Btw here's a Youtube trick I learned. You can copy the tags of any popular video and it will link you to that video and will pull up when someone is searching for that video. I did it for this:

That song is off the hook!!! There is a clear difference between this record and most freestyle that ever crossed over into the mainstream (and I mean in freestyle's glory days). And if a record like this one wouldn't come out nowadays, much of it is due to how the entire underground scene has disintegrated. Hardcore freestyle was a product of an urban underground dance culture that no longer exists and that's the real problem.
