can't get more undergraound than the 40night Allstars. so far underground that we don't even here the subways....hahaha.

I don't recognize most of those cept for atmosphere and Buck 65, who are both good. You should listen to Classified or k-os (who isn't underground, but I get the feeling he doesn't get recognition in the US, even though he is about 1000 times better than fitty scent) for some real canadian rap.

i view mainstream rap as basically the worst.. nevermind.. wont get into it.

with that being said, i like some underground rap.

My favorites are Canibus, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Tech N9ne-dont know if he is really underground though, Royce Da 5'9", and Kutt Calhoun. Jedi Mind Tricks cd Visions of Ghandi, Techs Anghellic, and Royce Da 5'9"s Death is Certain are some of the best CD's I've ever heard

Bdubya's new cd is going to drop in due time abd will include guest verses from ADubya and the Webmaster as soon as Dr. Dre returns my phone calls.

hmmmm

does blackalicious count as underground? Or deltron 20/20? They are played on my local college radio station, but who knows if that's underground. I haven't bothered to listen to a commercial radio station in probably 5 years.

Well, no matter.

I'm a fan of blackalicious, J5, and del. While he's by no means a rap artist, Michael Franti has been putting out quality music and fantastic shows for years now.

Mac dre has to be the best underground rap artist there is.. and Keak da Sneak.. Mac dre is my favorite though. He got shot last year so wont be coming out with anything else.. He was getting big in Cali..
