Answers:
Angel, there are some cats who have been underground for many years because they *want* to be!.
I can't buy this in its entirety!. Yeah, the vast majority of artists on major labels have less control over their music than they would like (recall Nas being forced to change the title of his most recent album) but there is a small percentage of big names who probably have the final say!. I don't think anyone is telling Dr!. Dre what to do with his music!.
EDIT
Angel, nothing I said contradicts that statement!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Buy and sell
Interscope is a perfect example
If you're at interscope, you are Jimmy Iovine's BlTCH, you can not do anything without his say so even Dr!. Dre can't do anything unless Jimmy say's yes!. ex!. Jimmy Iovine had Rakim dropped from Aftermath because he wouldn't make a pop song for his first single
but when it comes to Jay-Z, I think he can do what ever he wants, since he's the president and CEO of his distribution, Def JamWww@Enter-QA@Com

^^^ didnt even answer the question, and basically stated that even though underground is better than mainstream, they should actually retire!? dude hates people like Wayne and the mainstream in general, and now hes got a problem with the underground just because he doesnt know it!? lil wayne sold a million albums, but hes not nice, so whats the explanation there!? if, like you have stated in the past, people dont wanna listen to lyrics, then is that not reason enough for the undergroud to still be underground!? think about things beyond the surface level of understanding, angel!.

Sell, it depends on the artist!.
