when you ask someone what they listen to, and they go "oh underground rap mostly, like you know strictly, mos def, kanye, common and talib".

um excuse me? underground whom?

THESE RAPPERS ARE NOT UNDERGROUND RAPPERS, they are conscious rappers (and this isn't even applicable to kanye anymore) yes, and they do rap about stuff you will not usually hear on the radio but you can ask anybody who they are and they'll tell you. thus making them not underground but conscious.
