1 Kendrick Lamar/Hopsin
Spot shared by two rappers who basically have dropped numerous projects,videos
and garnered respect in the Hip Hop Community while on top of that completely and utterly defying what is the often weak definition of "Internet Rapper".
Hopsin gathering co-signs from the likes of Royce Da 5'9" and Tech N9ne.
And Kendrick getting props from The Game, Snoop, Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, and various other figures underground AND mainstream.

2. Dr. Dre he will FOREVER be popping, he's a westcoast staple and matters more than people understand. He signed Eminem who in turn inspired Hopsin, his production also inspires Hopsin. He's been behind NWA,Eminem,50 Cent, Snoog Dogg and has recently signed the TDE crew and West Coast Hopeful Kendrick Lamar.
The choices he makes,artists he's affiliated with, and his legendary status is what keeps him in the discussion of Hip Hop. Don't believe me ? Goto Youtube he's got more views alone than some of the most popular rappers out NOW.

3. Crooked I despite the bullsh1t everyone says on here Crooked is doing good for himself. He's signed to Shady/Aftermath on a group deal with Slaughterhouse. He's released solo projects most which have garnered praise for his lyrical expertise and he's a well respected and KNOWN rapper.

4. Blu without a doubt one of THE most popular underground rappers doing it right now.
And he's built up quite the following with his projects released on indy labels.

5. Tyler The Creator/OF Crew they've made a massive impact and updated the view of "Westcoast" which also includes suburban areas like Ladera heights, they've shown a different side to cali while also keeping the hard edge expected from Hip Hop with their horrorcore stylings.
