a lot of people here have been spouting off names of some pretty big underground phenomenas but your all neglecting the kings, the guys who made it to the pinnacle of underground rap with sheer willpower alone: i.......c.......muthafuckin.....p. no record company made them big, nobody made them big other than themselves and thats a fact. they got original beats in almost all of their songs, not some recycled generic bullshit you hear on the radio. youve also neglected esham, twistid, abk and blaze ya dead homie. whats wrong with you people?
