    Didn't think GKMC was a commercial album apart from Swimming Pools & Black Boy Fly.

    Backseat Freestlye, Money Trees, BDKMV, Poetic Justice, maad City are/were pretty commercial I thought?

    Not quite imo . Like Partynauseous didn't fit on GKMC because it was more commercial . Very good song too.

    I couldn't care less if it's 'commericial' tbh. Good music is good music regardless in my eyes.

    Idk but when an artist intentionally tries to go commercial I feel like they're forsaking the music for success

    Could you give examples of any artist/s who's forgone/forsaken their music for success/mainstream fame? Curious that's all.

    Probably should just assume we'll never get that Kendrick x Dre song from the beats commercial, huh?

    What does commercial mean? Radio friendly? Lots of sales? GKMC was pretty mainstream.
