Underrated Underground Rappers/ Rap Groups
These Are the Rappers who deserve recognition for their lyrical powers.
Felipe Andres Coronel, better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is an American rapper and urban activist from Lima, Peru. He was born on February 19, 1978 The underground king!
Dance with the devil,
The point of no return,
You never know,
Come on in my opinion one of the best to ever do it, and ya he's only known for two classics (Revolutionary vol. 1 & 2) but just remember biggie only had two albums!
Yes he's considered underground, he isn't signed with any major record label, which goes to show how great he really is, to have become as popular and known as he is with out any mainstream advertisement
He's sweet but he's not underground anymore, unless underground is based on not having a major record deal.
Also Andre Nickatina is dope.
Immortal technique is the greatest rapper of all time. I respect him more that I do any man I have ever met. And Jadakiss is the also my personal best. Thanks. Terry chianson.08033318116
Marcus Jamal Hopson, better known by his stage name Hopsin, is an American rapper, record producer, director and actor from Los Angeles, California. Hopsin was born on July 18, 1985. His first album was called Emurge but he's best known for his album titled Raw. Dope rapper. I am a huge fan of Tyler though but I got mad respect for this dude. His ill minds are amazing and if he broke out of the underground scene he'd be huge. Just saying
Went from nothing to a busted record deal to making his own label with meaningful lyrics and a strange flow should be much much higher in this group
Sick, Ill mind of hopsin 9, ill mind of hopsin 5, ill mind of hopsin 9 was deep and had meaning 5 was godlike
Has better beats than a majority of hardcore rappers, makes amazing music truthfully
Daniel Dumile (July 13, 1971 - October 31, 2020), also known as MF DOOM, was a British-born hip hop recording artist who spent most of his life in the United States. He died on October 31, 2020, however, his death wasn't revealed until December 31. From the cryptic lyrics to the insanely clever production and sampling, MF Doom is definitely a figure in Hip-Hop history that should be a household name for years to come.
Ok... If anyone were to ask me, "What is the BEST verse you ever heard in Hip-Hop? "
My answer: Madvillain's song "Accordion"
MF DOOM only needed one, JUST ONE verse for this incredible beat.
It's a short song, but DEFINITELY leaves an impression on how in-depth and stylistic DOOM is.
And remember All Caps! When ya spell the man's name!
This man is talented, his wordplay is sick. In my opinion he is the definition of underground.
You know this list in a bunch of idiots when people think KRS is an underground rapper
Aaron Dontez Yates, (born November 8, 1971), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne, is an American rapper. In 1999, Yates and business partner Travis O'Guin founded the record label Strange Music. He has sold over two million albums and has had his music featured in film, television, and video games. ...read more. I think that tech n9ne should definitely be number 1 because he beats every body else he has the best flow, I think that hopsin should be number 2 and strange music should sign chris webby
This dude is the definition of underground, gets shunned by the industry just cause his raps are fast and beats are mainstream, tech is by far the greatest rapper alive
Sample songs So Dope, He's a Mental Giant, Fragile, Strange, Pornographic and Rip Your Heart Out to know that tech n9ne is one of the most talented rappers of all time
The man started his own label from nothing and still gets no respect from anyone outside of the rap community he should be number one on this list
Richard Andrew Thorburn, better known by his stage name R.A. the Rugged Man, is an American rapper. He began his music career at age 12, building a reputation locally for his lyrical skills. Ok how is he not at number one? Immortal Technique is not underrated he is one of the most well known underground hip-hop artist out there.R.A. is a genius! His lyrics and delivery are on another level. Even biggie smalls said he is one of the greatest! Check him out you won't be disappointed
R.A. Is not only the best underground and underestimated rapper in the world he's in my top 10 of all time sitting comfortably along the likes of Rakim, Big and Pun. Legends Never Die became an instant classic and I highly recommend everyone cop an earful
No one has, or ever will have lyricism or a flow on the same level as R.A's. If you haven't heard him, do yourself a favour and listen. For years Immortal Technique was my number one, but after listening to R.A's album "Legends Never Die", he's my new favourite. I've listened to everyone on this list and I can honestly say The Rugged Man is on a completely different tier of dope.
Good delivery, crazy spectrum of flow and great story telling ability
Eric Kaiser (born 9 September 1970), better known by his stage name K-Rino, is an American rapper and record producer from Houston, Texas. He is a pioneer of the Southern hip hop scene, and has been rapping since 1983. K-Rino's first release was the single "rocking It" with his group Real Chill in 1986, ...read more. K-Rino is probably the greatest rapper alive, seriously. He don't get no love though. There is people in Texas that only listen to Texas music and ain't ever heard of this guy! That's a damn shame
I'm a serious hip hop head who has thoroughly listened to many(never all) of the most prominent lyricists in the underground and I can safely say K-rino is by no doubt one of the best to ever do it. He excels past most other artists when it comes to lyrical prowess, intelligence, wisdom and storytelling. Its not suprising to me that someone so ahead of their time is not getting the recognition they deserve considering the state of the world. I think its even safe to say k rino is above the likes of people like immortal technique.
K-Rino's huge discography contains much true poetry in motion. I studied literature and I honestly believe his collected works are worthy of being placed in that category.
Class by himself...and by a wide margin
Vincenzo Luvineri, better known as Vinnie Paz, is a Sicilian American rapper and the lyricist behind the Philadelphia underground hip hop group Jedi Mind Tricks. Legend, deserves more recognition, mesmerizing lyrics & hard as nails! Easily top 10 best rappers of all time.
The real number 1... Vinnie p
This guy is the best
Listen to his song raw is war
MURS is my favorite rapper well he's not the best I know it... I listen to all of the above mentioned rappers but MURS deserves to be at least in the top 5... MURS is better than your favorite rapper admit it!
M.U.R. S so underrated!
Patrick Lanshaw, better known by his stage name Lil Wyte, is an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee.He has a way to express his Feeling in his songs exaple[he makes you feel like step in my shoes

Slug is talented on many different levels. He is able to put his emotions into words in a way that nobody else can and he's consistent with his views.
Changed the way I looked at rap forever. Before I ever heard underground rap I had no idea that rap could be made by intelligent people.. ha :) SO THANKS YOU GUYS
All of their songs tells a story, it's not just mindless rapping, its real life experiences. something we can all relate to and is told in a beautiful way. Slug is a god.
Atmosphere implements the perfect combination of poetry, meaning, and entertainment value into every song. I'll admit his newer stuff is starting to turn mainstream, but everything from 97-2010 is spectacular. Slug is the epitome of what rap is meant to be
Atmosphere is lyrically amazing, more people have know about him!
T-Rock is an underground rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He started out his career as part of the Memphis rap label Hypnotize Minds, under DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia. T-Rock and the Three 6 would eventually go their separate ways, and Rock would go on to diss Paul and Juicy in many songs for ...read more.

Jonathan McCollum, better known by his stage name Rittz, is an American rapper from Gwinnett County, Georgia.These guys are so good! All of their albums are dope!

3. Beautiful Girl
4. Dream
5. Lynguistic
Most unnatural sound.these are aliens.forever!
Earl Stevens better known by his stage name E-40, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and investor from Vallejo, California. Come on! he was responsible for slang that Jay-z or nas used during the 90's, yet no one remembers him. Is it just me?
Why is e40 on here he can't even rap they should have put spit gemz or Emilio Rojas real rap look up my dude mcfee
Stone Cold Killer from the Bay Area in San Fran. Killa Whale goes too hard.
If u ever heard his flows not neccessarily lyrical content he's the best hands down.
Lawrence "Kris" Parker, better known by his stage names KRS-One, and Teacha, is an American rapper and occasional producer from The Bronx, New York City, New York. Yes KRS one is awesome.
