I have listened to a few people lately and while I feel they are really good, they probably do not get the recognition they deserve.

WC - I love his sharp lyricism and how he is yet to be make it big past the West Coast is a bit puzzling.

Canibus - He is a lyrical man-god. Anyone who denies this may need to listen to him. I think he is so good that it is his downfall. I.e his style is not commercial enough and may not appeal to big record label. But there is no denying that he is one of the under-rated.


Those are the two playing in my head for now. Do you have any?

Well?

Spectre
Wiley

These guy need to be given a chance to do their things.
Well, maybe they do but not too commercial for radio.

UK Wiley?

He's been around since the "More fire crew" days I think. Unless we are talking about different people here. He's had hits here and there and get regular play. I swear his music is more appealing to the "Urban" section of music I think.

Yep.
Uk Wiley.

He's been around for a while and I think he's been slept on way too long.
He's had hits but not blown up like Chipmunk, Tinchy stryder and even dizzee rascal who all went commercial.

Immortal Technique. uncrowned king of the underground.

I dunno, don't want him to blow up like chipmunk. He will become commercial I think. As it stand, his music have more quality in my opinion than Tinchy, dizee et al.

I agree they are good, but not sure how they are the King of underground. There are just so many cats out there who are as good but I won't call them kings IMO.
