Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of Underground Hip-Hop?

[straightcash]

Zev Love X maybe but DOOM has never been on a major.

Maybe. Although he has released two albums through Adult Swim (Time Warner).

Adult Swim isn't even a record label. lol

Doom
Kool Keith

That's all that I listen too. Guys like Curren$y and Mos Def aren't really underground.

Why isn't Curren$y underground?

Why isn't Curren$y underground?

I feel like he's a notch higher as far as recognition.

But considering he's similar to Doom in that he makes his music his way and doesn't really care about how it's perceived in the mainstream I wouldn't argue the label for him.

MF DOOM, Alchemist, Sean Price. and Curren$y

Why isn't Curren$y underground?

Curren$y had multiple albums under Warner Bros. and Atlantic, and which charted.

Just because he fell off doesn't mean he's underground. He was underground and then he wasn't.
