Definately not underground. It's not on national radio, but it's not underground. They all have huge exposure.

Me, I don't really like too much alternative rap. Some of it has its appeal, but I like gritty, raw rap.

but since this is an underground thread, check out:
Fat Tony - my boy a Houston native is comin up
Al-D - Old H-town gangsta but I like all the projects he's done
DJ Screw - His style has exposure but people don't really listen to his tapes outside of Texas.
-3 N The Mornin Part I and Part II (blue) are good tapes
J Dawg - A northside rapper comin up with the Swishahouse camp. He isn't on that radio-friendly tip, but aint too different from the rest of
_Swishahouse.
Big Moe - RIP but check out City Of " "... check out his discography. Edited by Dr. B

ton of friends are going to see rock the bells. I dont love the lineup though, I'm kinda bummed out. The last few years were way cooler imo.

I would still go if it there was like ONE more act that I really really love.

I was just thinking about Edan and that he is very much slept on. He was awesome live opening for Lyrics Born and Cut Chemist. Hasn't released an album in quite some time that I know of, I know he produced some of the album Mr. Lif just put out.

Edan! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0MDxRqE-YA...feature=related

btw, Busdriver sucked live. I wanted to enjoy him but he was way to frenetic and sloppy.

For the record, Lif killed it. There was also a kid named Grieves who was pretty good.

Why would you put Tech N9ne in the same category as ICP, Twiztid, or Eminem???? No comparison. That's funny that "good" is stretching it when he is the #1 independent act in the country. Last year he was the #3 highest grossing urban touring act behind Jay-Z and Kanye. He sold over one million units independently over 4 albums. The dudes flows are SICK.

Tech N9ne is trash. You forget that people tend to flock around shit music. Look at souljaboy, lady gaga, chingy, lil wayne, carrie underwood, taylor swift, rascal flatts, the fray, nickelback, creed the list goes on and on and on. They all top the charts, go platinum and sell out stadiums, does that mean they're good artists?
