Word, and dance with the devil? thats a typical answer for someone who doesnt know much

im not denying it. i do listen to more mainstream music than underground, that's why i said it would take a long time...but it's not like i refuse to listen to underground, whenever someone posts an underground album on here i usually download it and listen to it.
