afu ra
the roots
reakwon
kurupt
raskass
blackstarr
dead prez

omfg, read the whole list, and not once was the most overlooked, underrated, true lyricists named, you all don't know skill...

Jedi mind tricks (ikon the verbal hologram and jus allah)
Swollen members
Chief Kamachi
Ill advised

and goin against everything i stand for,

LL cool J, Return of the Ripper is Ill...

For real the roots are ill as fuck

I think Big Pun Big L
and the main producers for Diggin in the Crates
are hella under rated...

I think Talib Kweli, he is one of the best in my eyez. He has gotten some more play time but pretty much only a vid or two every so often.

the flu aint underated but he posted here so imma call him a prick

xzibit yeh.

Che Fu

....King Kapisi.
