i get the selling out stuff, because i understand as an underground rapper who really LOVES what they're doing and mostly doing it for the joy of performance, it'd piss you off to see mediocre idol groups make a lot more money and gain a lot more publicity while being "manufactured". but at the same time, i think they've got to understand that their music is specifically tailored for the masses and is hence popular music? like they really couldn't have gotten into the underground scene expecting nearly as much recognition? also the fact they pretty much only specifically mention male idols and NEVER females is pretty telling. after all, female idols are "sell outs" too
i feel like people like zico get a pass somehow. you sort of have to prove yourself in skill before they accept you as one of their own. but it makes me rme too, because zico is pretty much playing the exact same game, and he himself is completely aware of that. b-free, who i used to love, boggles me in particular. because he hates idols and has 0 respect for them, but was also featured on a track with JAY PARK where they both hate on idol music and i'm just like lol, ok you guys do that
i think bobby has an interest future ahead of him in regards to his place in khh. because he was never part of the underground scene and was basically bred in yg like gd, but he also already has a lot more respect from khh artists than gd did
