Az (hes wayyyy to underrated, i suggest u cop Do Or Die, 9 Lives & Aziatic)
Beanie Sigel (yes hes underrated to, cuz u barely hear anything bout him)
Drag-On
Crooked I (he needs to come up quick..niggas round here neva even hurd of him)
Skillz

Common
Talib Kweli
Mos Def

^^^^^^^^^I'll take your list for 200 hundred except instead of Drag-On, gimmie Ice Water Inc. or Theodore Unit (Raekwon and Ghostface's seperate crews)

Drag-On????..WTF?????...

oh u haven't heard "BadaBoom" then huh?Cuz if u had then you would understand why Drag-on is horrible. but he can freestyle his ass off.

Atmosphere
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Common
Clipse

clipse aint underground, they had tha mainstream song of the year "Grinding" and club banga "When was the last time" they dope though

beanie seigal
ti
mos def...................

..Common...and P.Monch is way underrated..

one person i think is way overrated is tech n9ne
canibus used2 be but i think now he's gettin some recognition

yea...but still not enuff recognition...

tech9 is wack i've never understood why people listen to him

who is tech n9ne

^ www.therealtechn9ne.com thats Tech Nine.


Talib Kweli
Canibus
Tech Nine
Royce Da 5'9
Xzibit (only because people around here think he sucks. But then again they listen to Chingy and 50 Cent all the time.)

Tech N9ne is someone you don't want to listen to....

J-Live
Qwel
Buck 65
Sole
Onry Osbourne

i cant stand Buck 65

Pharoh Monch
Socretes
Xzibit-i personally think he could eat half of the commercial cats

i cant really think

jae millz
lloyd banks &
Pho-Balo

Fabolous is underated.
hes got the illest punchlines out now

"i get followed by broads, wit deeper throats then the people at the circus that be swallowin swords" < illest shit Ive heard since Lloyd Bank$

"these nigguhs is tryin to prove shit, but im quick to put the chalk around ya head like a pool stick"-Llloyd
^Both the illest out right now and both are underated, Fabo shoulda got 5 mics in the source........

talib kweli (the man)
cannibus
beanie
atmosphere is pretty nice, just started hearin him

thats only 4.. but it works

jeru the damaja
o.c
InI
az
pete rock and CL Smooth (legends but still underrated)

queschun...do the list have 2 b mc's wit a label cos theres lotsof local cats round here that definitly deserve some credit

Talib Kweli (Yeah, he put Get By out. . but hwat about his other dope songs on Quality ? )

Mos Def

Pharaoe Monch

Brother Ali (Not big yet, but he'd be underrated jus cause of his skin color)

Big Pun (He NEVER got the recognition he deserved for being an incredible lyricist. . people remember him for not wanting to be a player no more . . )

Yeah.

how is ali underrated for his skin color?

I like some of Tech N9ne's stuff, just cuz he's got energy, but he's not a great MC, he only spit's multis, and he's fast as fuck.

Royce is fucking ill

Justin^^^

Fabolous does have some punches now and then, but he's not close to some other punchliners out now, neither is Lloyd Banks. They have some credibility, but there are a lot of cats that could eat up Fab'd and Lloyd's punches easily.

I'd say Copywrite has the best punches today.

BLAH, FUCK ALL OF YALL!!! TECH N9NE CAN COME ILL AS FUCK ON SOME TRACKS!!!
That one track "Trapped in a Psychos body" is ill as fuck, and his freestyles are tight too...

but back to the list

Kool G Rap
Canibus
Jus Allah
Journalist

Crooked I is sick as hell.. i was sleepin on him until he came to the studio i be at...
kid is a monster 4 real....

Siegal is one of my favorites... He's been gettin slept on for a minute...

Nature-- Sick Style ... a couple of years ago he was really puttin in work.. dont know what happened to him..

Cassidy is a problem... i think he got llold banks and fabulous beat when it comes to the punchlines..

I always thought Mos Def and Common didn't get enough credit too

uno

White owl bundy!!! check out the audio part of this site

Mr. Lif is tight too.
And Kardinal is underrated too. I have more respect for him than anyone. Not only is he about to do things on the american scene...but he is canadian. I think that's a pretty big accomplishment.

Word up kardinal is doin it, he's reppin T Dot hard. And he's a cool guy, i ran into him in a music store in downtown Toronto. I asked him to listen to some of my beats, and he said they were dope so yeah Nuff respect for Kardi, cuz he rock da party

So many so many

COPYWRITE!!!,Aesop rock,Jakki da mota mouth,MOlemen,Prime,Slug,Atmosphere,Sage Francis...Ummmm...Saul williams had some dope shit....Talib,Mos Def,many more just cant think now...

Talib Kweli (top quality)
Royce Da 5'9
Clipse
Az
Sole

Aight like this:


J-Live
Kurupt
Royce
Kardinal
Xzibit?...hmmmm...I dunno, he needs to fire his producer (Dre), and get back with that Producer from tha 90's.

Anybody who mentioned Mos Def, Talib, etc. Man they ain't under-rated, they ain't mainstream, people who love Hip-Hop know these cats are legends.
