first off i would like to apologize to the voice of reason for my inappropriate personal attacks on him. they were uncalled for and anyone who knows anything about debate should know that two major rules of it are not to get angry and not to resort to personal attacks, of which i did both. futhermore i would like to explain why del does not make millions of dollars like many other rappers do. he is not signed to a major label like those other rappers are. the major labels are a part of conglomerates that control pretty much everything in the media. i can't remember what all of the conglomerates are but a few are time-warner, disney, and i think microsoft is one. the same companies that own the major labels also own MTV, VH1, and pretty much all of the radio stations in the nation. what this means is that the kids hear what the major labels want them to hear, which is the million dollar rappers. so why has del not moved to a major? the answer is that del does not want to be on a major. he could easily be on one because of his many connections in the industry, like ice cube being his cousin. its not like there is any rivarly or hatred between the two of them; cube actually produced del's first record. i'm sure that he would hook him up if del wanted it to be. also, george clinton of funkadelic, parliament, and the p-funk all-stars produced del's second record. del also worked with the Gorillaz on a few songs off their album as many know and that was on a major label. so why doesn't del want to be on a major? no one really knows but i can make a few guesses. he probaly doesn't want to have people flocking to him on a daily basis for autographs and paparatazzi following him looking for photos. he just probaly wants to be able to go see concerts and stand in the crowd with everyone else. he just wants to live like a normal human and also rap. oh yeah another reason why del hasn't exploded as of yet is that his latest album Deltron 3030 was put out of print by del himself. the reason was that it was selling too well, it was too good any too libel to explode and del would be thrown into the nation's spotlight. personally, i am glad he hasn't gotten huge because i got to see him up close and personal at a small venue in chicago and let me tell you something, that guy can freestyle like nothing that i could have ever imagined.

p.s. i thought it was pretty stupid how you decided to write a huge discourse on mark's obvious exzagerration of del's fan base. that was irrelevant to the original arguement.
p.p.s. if you post a reply, why don't you use your real name? it is quite cowardly not to.
