Underground pones mainstream
 

So over hearing about Tupac and Biggie and 50 cent... What are you guys playing from the underground scene?

JUDAS PRIEST!

Word, dope rapper

You ever heard of Deep Puddle Dynamics?

to be honest, these days i listen to more un-signed artists and UK/other rappers out of the US than anything else.

but to name heads you would know.

common, talib kweli, some hi-tek, dilated peoples, the roots theres more too but yeh.

Jedi Mind Tricks, Atmosphere, Brotha Lynch. . etc.

Ya, those are those like semi-mainstream middle ground type artists. The one's who everyone knows because they get on other mainstream albums all the time. There's also like Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, uuuuuum, a few others too.



Damn, I've never heard of anyone else who's heard of Brotha Lynch... Lol I've never heard a rapper SO authentically gangstah haha. But ya, I love Slug (Atmosphere), from him I got into people like Sage Francis, Edan, Sole, Alias, Pedestrian, Passage, all kinds of people. That group I mentioned above (Deep Puddle Dynamics) is Slug, Sole, Alias, and Dose One. Insaaaaaaaane side project right there. Because Alias and Sole both make their own beats aswell as rhyme, but they use these very melodic, atmospheric beats that just makes you actually FEEL the notes. Then you get Dose One who is probally one of the most experimental and progressive producers/beat maker/lyracist around... All in all its just a rediculous group.

i wouldntve sed Brutha LYnch Hung wuz underground. but, i dont listen 2 underground. i like mainstream, werd

Blah... 95% of mainstream = Lame

^ i mostly listen to classic rap lps or you could call it the early 90's mainstream

yeah me too, i listen 2 mostly old skool west coast shit frum tha 80's n erly 90's, werd

ARE YOU SERIOUS?. . What is he then? Some of his CDs are sold in stores or whatever, but dude isn't even close to mainstream. I don't see how you COULDN'T say he's underground.

i thought he wuz mainstream back in tha erly 90's, i dunno, werd

Bliss N Eso, Tonedeff, PackFM, Jus Allah, Jedi Mind Tricks, MF Doom

Mainstream shits wack...xcept semi-mainstream ...

All them niggas signed...

Them niggas fucked with Cube, they wasn't underground...

Fucken Binary star cunt.....
and...
Last Emperor, Necro, Non Phixion, JTM etc..

I got mp3's which I listen to from most decent underground artists.. But you gotta realise that most underground rappers are underground for a reason dude...

A lot of their music gets old REAL fast...

necro is fuckin horrible... and just because somebody is signed does not make them mainstream lmfao @ how kids get that statement twisted.

That was Snoop :thumbup:

I'm glad you asked me......Immortal technique, DL Incognito, Livin Legends, Atmosphere, Pigeon John and even more.

I don't really like Immortal, I think he's overrated. His use of similies are obnoxious and slow down the flow of his content. For that style I'd just listen to Nas over him.

"Caught In A Hustle"
"Dance With The Devil"

Listen to those tracks by Immortal Technique. .

Omfg I love atticus' sig.

Meh, heard them... I really haven't been all too impressed by his work.

... And yes, my sig pones :evilgrin:

Not really man..

Hes just got one style.. So cats get bored of his shit pretty fast...

Hes hit and miss, I've heard some trash from him and I've heard some classic shit...

Just like almost all underground rappers.. Theres always SOMETHING holding them back from going mainstream...
