Conscious Hip Hop Artists Still in Business

Something for everyone to think about,

Hip hop has been divided into two sections, an underground crowd, and a mainstream crowd, and artists from each group are unwilling to overstep their boundaries into the other's realm.

underground hip hop fanatics rage that the lyrics should be true and not about the money, while mainstream only cares about being paid.

What about a bridge, a halfway mark, where an lyricist makes thought provoking tracks, but has a mainstream radio sound as well.

Will it work? A more mainstream Lupe meets a more underground Kanye type of sound?
