Pretty f'n mainstream right there..
Every video played on MTV is not main stream. D-12s Purple Hills was played on MTV and I'm sure if you asked people if they heard about it more then 60% would say no.

So if you asked people if they heard of gangsta rap in 89 more then 60% would say no. WHY? Because although they might have got some play on MTV they didn't get any radio play. (atleast where I lived)
