Name some under-rated rappers

I'm so tired of rappers like Game, Lil Wayne, Tyga, Drake and plies. All they are trying to do is sell as many records as possible, and get hype. Fuck them and their skinny jeans.. biters!. Anyways, this thread is for the less mainstream but more appreciated rap artists. Here's a couple under-rated artists who are true OG's. Please excuse the west coast bias 
1. Yukmouth- My favorite west coast rapper since Tupac! Yuk has been making west coast bangers for over 15 years. He was featured on several tupac songs, was one half of the Luniz (whos claim to fame was "I got 5 on it") and continues to make music to this day. He is the founder of 'The Regime' which features rappers such as tech 9.
2. E-40- Another bay area rapper who has been doing it a long time. His home town is Vallejo, California and he has released over 10 albums! Outside of California this rapper was fairly unknown and underground until his 2006 hit 'Tell me when to go' sparked an interest nationally in the Hyphy movement.

No offense... but I find it kind of funny that you start out your post like "fuck these mainstream rappers" and then go on to praise a couple of rappers who are pretty much spitting the exact same kind of rhymes, just slightly more outside the "main stream."
Basically "wannabe mainstream" guys. Cars, money, drugs, guns, bitches, I'm-better-than-you... rinse, and repeat.
That being said... E-40 has some okay stuff. He's gotten a bit more mainstream exposure over the last handful of years. Partly or largely to due, IMO, with guesting on tracks by Lonely Island, and some other more mainstream rappers.
Haven't heard as much of yukmouth's stuff... but I think I liked his verse on a Mac Dre track. Can't remember which, right now. Feel like I've heard him somewhere else... but it's not coming to me.

I honestly think T.I. is one of the most underrated rappers. People are like "hell yeah 2 chainz!" but if you listen to T.I. he is a fucking amazing rapper. Even since his first album I have been like "daaamn" because he is ridiculous.

Oh, so they're real murderers?
In that case, fuck them. They're worthless pieces of human garbage, and likely don't deserve any success or spotlight.
If you simply mean "came from the ghetto, and maybe did some minor stuff" then sure... so didn't almost every other rapper on the planet. 50 cent has bona fide prison sentences for crack. Lil Wayne has more recently been caught with stupid amounts of drugs (though likely personal use). And I have heard of other rappers, or those close to them, engaging in drug dealing.
Now back to my first statement-- in reality I can't judge them. I don't know their lives, or what they had to deal with, or why they made the choices they did. Most of us, in life, just do the best we can with what we know at the time. But I made an extreme statement to make a point. There is absolutely NOTHING cool, or glamorous, or worthy of romanticizing about ghetto life, or gang banging, or murdering people. Nothing.
The really sick thing is that by glorifying this horrible lifestyle, they are not only helping to perpetuate it, and hurt their own people (minorities, in the ghetto) for their own financial gain... but they are convincing white kids growing up in the goddamned suburbs, that this lifestyle is cool, and interesting, and worthy of respect, etc. And I almost can't tell which one of those I find more retarded.
These guys aren't heroes. You know what an "OG" is? It's someone who is too old and set in habit to change their stupid ways. That's what.
I hate much about the system. It's cruel, unfair, and overall sociopathic. Subverting the system is one thing. And on the surface, it might seem like that's what this (gangsta rap) is. "Fuck the man, fuck his system, I got some crack and came up my own way." But that's the avancement of one man to the detriment of many. That IS the fucking system. You think the white-owned record companies are going to release a bunch of music that's truly empowering to the minorities, and the poor?
Even if minorities are starting to own a piece of the distribution networks, finally, see the "OG" argument, above. Many of these rappers know exactly what they're doing. Know the effect their music has on people. They simply don't care, as long as they're still making money, and doing okay for themselves. Then again, growing up poor in a culture that glorifies that type of behavior, they're pretty much trained to do this.
Anyway, sorry for the rant... I just find the glorification of this lifestyle to be a bit disgusting. As has been the current trend in rap for quite a while. Doubly so when it's coming from upper class white kids.
That said, in terms of rap skill (as opposed to gang-banger skill) I find them both to be a bit sub-par. I have liked some of their tracks, but neither have really blown my mind with anything, that I've seen so far. Then again, even many of the "good" mainstream rappers today... Lil Wayne for example... sometimes have some really good stuff, and sometimes have stuff so shit it's like "what was he thinking?"
And as always, 99% of the time it's money, cars, bitches, drugs, I'm-better-than-you, I'll-kill-you-over-nothing, blah blah blah blah, forever and ever amen.

Sell Your Soul said: <img src='http://www.shroomery.org/forums/images/moved.gif'> This thread was moved from The Pub.
Reason: .
Reason: Getting too much attention. Let's bury it in a less popular forum? Or... what?
That's not to say this is not an appropriate forum for this topic. But seriously? I assure you that a good 90% of posts in The Pub (which as I recall is supposed to be for relaxed discussion with few rules regarding posting topic) could be moved to another sub-forum where it would more closely fit the topic.
Why not move Wiccan's "Post a Song, Rate The One Above it" thread? That seems to be pretty clearly about music.
"Hot Peppers" Thread. We have a Culinary sub-forum.
"Puking and Smoking" Physical and Mental Well-being.
"Cigarette Blends" Other Drugs Discussion
"Does Weed Really Kill Motivation" Wellbeing / ODD
"I have a Crush on an Indian Girl...Wat do" Sexuality and Relationships
"90's Hip Hop Rap Appreciation Thread" Again, music media etc. Seeing a bit of inconsistency with moving the music related threads, eh?
"Are We Not Allowed to Curse On Here" Website Feedback
"How to Grind Up Root Bark Effectively" Chemistry
"The Pyramid Code (Documentary)" Art and Media / Spirituality Mysticism
"Self Control" Well-being
"Roommate Had a Psychotic Break Down Last Night" Well-being / Relationships
"Can Anyone Suggest A Career Path" Well-being / Money
"Hi Guys, I'm New, Got Some Mushrooms, Can I Do It Alone?" Psychedelic Experience
"South Florida Auto Show" Gathering and Travel
"Official Chess Thread" Gaming Grotto
"54mg Concerta Conversion" Chemistry / ODD
"Thread For People With Psychological Disturbances" Well-being
"This Is A Real Story" Sexuality and Relationships
"In a Bit of a Predicament" Well-being (I'm noticing a TON of threads that would better fit this sub)
"so how do you" well-being / Philosophy
Those are literally from the top 34 threads in the pub (when I began to write this.) Out of 34, twenty-one threads (over half) could have easily been put in a forum where they would be "more appropriate" because of their topic. Okay, it's not 90%. But it's more than 60%! (About 62%) And 3 of those threads are related to music or media.
It just strikes me as not only inconsistent, but stupid. I hate forums where the mods are overly rigid. One of the great things about the shroomery is people are usually more laid back, and with the exception of a handful of fairly important rules, the rest of it is sort of "anything goes" and up to the community members to drive content, and the direction of the site.
But hey, what do I know. I've only been here daily for almost nine years.

I'll keep pushing The Coup.
Fixation from Steal this album
I mean come on listen this
Well, this is verbal penetration Alert your school administration If you act like a dick castration It just brings me elation
Your misleading presentation Was just boring oration Gun claps from my tech will be your standing ovation Beat per minute calculations
Match aorta calculations Which speed up if you eat that greasy defecation at nations Tear along the perforation Means collection notification
And you know I stack my scrilla in negative denominations And that's a damn abomination It takes all my concentration To not rob armored transportation
And collect compensation But it takes contemplation, conspiration Conversation and propagation Information, dissemination and tribulations, no hesitation
Indoctrination, affiliation, penitentiary and jail evasion For liberation and publications Spell the coup with capitalizations
I was on the verge of ejaculation Police performed a home evasion So I cut off the illumination And jumped out of the ventilation
They were in anticipation Waiting in voltron formation So I performed circumnavigation And then crawled through the foliation
Started my legs to gyration Caught me, took me to the station Valuables confiscation, started the interrogation Causing business complications
Said they wanted pacification I said, I know all yo macinations You gets no respect, no information One mo thang fo yo gestation Think you should try self fornication

Del tha funky homosapien and his crew The Heiroglyphics, Abstract ninjaa, Clear Soul Forces, Danny Brown, Evidence, Chuck Inglish and the cool kids, Chance the Rapper, I could go on but these are a few of my favorite underrated rappers / MCs, most of these guys at the height of their fame and are still grossly underrated. I could make a whole list if we were talking about 90's rap.
It's repulsive that all these fake ass niggas like 2 Chains and Rick Ross are becoming household names.

Although Kendrick Lamar is pretty big now, many of his songs are underrated/not well known. I think TDE as a whole is the best in the game right now, mostly Black Hippy. Some songs to give a listen are: Rigamortus- Kendrick Lamar, Bohemian Grove- Ab Soul, R.O.T.C.- Kendrick, Say Wassup- Schoolboy Q (it also has Kendrick, Ab Soul, and Jay Rock on it but they aren't listed as features), Collect Calls- Kendrick, and Banger- Schoolboy Q.

->MF DOOM- listen to accordion or Guv'nor (these are new tracks but hes been around for days. He also does sick collabs with other producers under the names DANGER DOOM, JJ DOOM, and MADVILLIAN(Prob my fav collab.
->CYNE("Cultivating your new experience")- if you watched the anime samurai champloo you probably heard CISE STAR and AKIN rapping on a few nujabes tracks. Check out the nujabes tracks "feather" and "lady brown". CYNE tracks like "arrow of god" or "moonlight" are some of my favs.
->Jean Grae
->AZ-you probably never heard his stuff, but im pretty sure you listened to him rhyme on the NAS track "Life's a bi**h" from illmatic.
->PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE RYHMSAYERS ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY (other than atmosphere and murs) to name a few. -->Aesop Rock (check out his collab with kimya dawson known as THE UNCLUDED, song "delicate cycle") -->Brother Ali -->P.O.S (check out his song "OPTIMIST" wasnt my favorite the first time i heard it but it's now amazing to me. ANd he did the beat with the cups before fucking musicals took the idea and ran with it.) -->Mac Lethal
Honestly I could go on for days, there are hundreds of legit "conscious" and "underground" MC's and rappers that have bars for day and a sick flow. But alas corrupt media and the horrible taste in music perpetuated by what people want you to believe is "good," has diluted mainstream rap to insignificant dribble about Money and Bitches.

seconding P.O.S, all of his albums are killer. I think everyone else in the Doomtree collective is worth checking out except for Mike Mictlan. some other dudes:
GDP
Diverse
Zeroh
Joe Horton and Kristoff Krane
Serengeti (more abstract)
Koncept
MC Felix of Heiruspecs

I went through everyone's post and feel you're fucking stupid.
BoB though in the past like year, I say fuck him, his mixtapes were some of the most enlightening hip-hop in recent years.
MGK, though songs like Wild Boy are more about hyping up drug use, he's got some stories to tell. Definitely worth a look into Lace Up and 100 Words and Running.
KiD CuDi. Anything before WZRD is almost always a great listen into some deep poetic shit. Indicud has some alright stuff. Honestly though listen to some of his stuff. Sometimes I wonder if there is another message altogether he is really trying to get across while things like Pursuit of Happiness gets attention.
Ab Soul. Barely heard a few of his songs. Really I've heard a bit but only recently began investigating his stuff so it's like I'm re-first time hearing it. Still, a rapper who reps the seriousness as opposed to Soulja Boys song "freestyle" DMT is something to be honored.
Lupe Fiasco. You ever hear anything on the radio short of his Old School Love now? Sure, maybe something that sounds radio like will make it from him but State Run Radio, yep. LASERS, The Cool, Back to F&L.
Big Sean has some powerful shit that never made it big. That's why I like him. The radio can keep songs like "I Do It" or "Ass" with Nicki Minaj but this dude has some sick flow and knows the pain of losing someone close.
Wale. Same example of Big Sean. That shit with Nicki Minaj, get that out of here. The Gifted, I felt, wasn't much artistry but before that, he had some sick music.
Kid Ink. Nargle's got an alright voice to do drugs to I suppose. Maybe he doesn't quite fit in here but he's got some Gems. "Cali Dreamin" "I Just Want It All" "Keep it Rollin'".
Overall though, I have these "connections" if you will with these rappers because they each, in some way, know my life. I'm not talking about their random songs but specifically their life's growing up is built together to make mine.
I adore Hip-Hop and Rap with all my heart; From my soul. I believe one day I will attempt my hand at this but I think these dudes have it on lock for now. I'm glad these guys (mostly) aren't mainstream. At least the songs which I focus on. Like psychs, the message is just too powerful for a person who isn't open to learn to enjoy. It's not for the masses and that's why alcohol and lil wayne exist.

People always fall for this. Krispy Kreme was a character this dude put on to get mass attention for his real rap career. Obviously it worked s he ended up on the likes of Tosh.0 and such. Look it up, he's a very smart, pretty talented rapper.

I second this. I love his mix tapes, and can't wait for his next album. Bone thugs n harmonys really under rated. Flesh n Bone put out a bad ass song last year called "debt to society". Id post it, but I'm posting from a phone atm.

Currency Action Bronson - (I Think I spelled that right) Rich Homie Quan (Of course) Trinidad James
Young Thug - Now this is a hard recommendation simply because everyone says hes the new next thing and Ive only heard four songs that made the head bob.

^Okay, his Ill-minds are pretty sick, I'll admit that. But that's the equivalent to singles being released by some other people in the game. His everyday stuff is wack man (could have changed since I last checked in with him about 2 years ago, besides the Ill Minds). Speaking of which, why didn't you post up 6? The one about chrystal-meth. That one was his best I thought.

6 is a great one but i wanted to post that remix of 5 so ya know. his last two albums are much better (i still liked raw though) but the ill minds are still the best shit hes got.
