8 Foot Sativa arn't that 'underground'. And how are they selling out?

// But even 8 foot sativa are starting to sell out unfortunatly

grim_entropy - you'd be of the opinion that success = "selling out".

// Underground music will always stay underground
// and go unrecognised by the general public.

Ah, yes.

hahahahaha, yeah noisyboy cos only the musicions that play 'undergournd' music are playing wot they really feel in their nads. mainstream hip hop is crap neone that plays it is just tryna make money, especially like sam shapperd who shud no better.

oooo sorry, I thought you were referring to an earlier post about Sam Sheppard playing with Scribe.

Just because Sam Sheppard is playing with Scribe doesn't mean 8 Foot Sativa have sold out. Although I don't like them or their music, they arn't currently writing pub rap/hip hop tracks or bland rap/nu-metal in the vein of Blindspot. And they arn't trying to persuade kids to 'hoook up!' on Boost mobile (which is some of the lamest shit I have ever witnessed).

// 8 Foot Sativa arn't selling out for two reasons; 1. their drummer (representing HIMSELF, NOT his band) is playing for Scribe, P-Money, whoever the fuck, it doesn't matter.
And 2. They arn't part of the underground, so they arn't selling out any 'underground' values they may have once had. So what the hell are you talking about? They are a big metal band. They do shows sponsored by Vodafone etc and have always had this sort of attitude. Your argument is ridiculous, becuase he listens to Cannibal Corpse he wouldn't agree with doing a hip hop track, maybe he likes pub rap??

And for what reasons would you deny to do a track with Scribe? Because he is hip-hop, or because he is mainstream?

Oh and also, Cannibal Corpse sucks, there are far more superior death bands.

I think you understood me wrong. 8 Foot sativa is a great band, and I am happy for their success.

Also, I know there are better bands then cannibal corpse, infact cannibal corpse sux shit in my books

Ok, if you read through again, I say somewhere: "selling out = playing stuff other people want to hear to gain money/publicity/popularity etc, and not beeng yourself and playing what you want."

What the hell is sam sheppard doing with scribe? You think he likes drumming 4 bars of the same beat for 5 minutes? You think a guy that plays in 8 Foot Sativa, listens to things like Cannibal Corpse likes playing with scribe? Well if you knew him personally, he hates all of it.

If scribe rang me up and asked to be in his video, I would stright up tell him to fuck off, and so would most of the metal scene...

Now go and bitch and throw your oppinions people like heather, I dont care, you are not part of it, and your oppinion is irrevelant anyway. I have better things to do then to argue with villagers

Oh - wait - no, sorry, I was taking the piss. My bad.

I'm not sure how 'personally' you know him, but just because he listens to Cannibal Corpse or the Molten Satan DeathBand doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy or even enjoy participating in more mainstream music.

I doubt he would've got paid very much.

Surely doing what he wants, rather than listening to what 'fans' like you think, is the ultimate form of not selling out. I bet he's alienating a fuckload of his 8 Foot fans.

It's a P Money song.

Grim Entropy I would be tempted to agree with you if you had a stronger grasp of the ideas you are trying to express, but you don't.
