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.

Yeah the difference between those two and the mainstream is they actually live the life they rap about.

Possibly overrated, but definitely under appreciated.

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.

Atmosphere. Not quite sure how famous they are, but where I live, no one seems to have heard of them. They're pretty great.

I hardly see or hear anyone talk about him. At least he doesn't rap about money, clothes, hoes and banks rolls you know

2 chainz cant rap. If you think so your either deaf or think just saying groups of words in 3's that barely rhyme make zero sense and tell no story is good.
Swifty mcvay anyone??? HOW HAS NOBODY MENTIONED D-12!!!!
