The Underground In 2004

<< < (2/3) > >>

Primo:
That UN shit is hot. I got that when it came out.

i wouldn't call too many of these artists "underground", except if that is just as opposed to "mainstream" and don't have anything to do with sales, popularity etc., but fuck it. Ive heard so far...

Murs - 3:16 - Y'all know this is dope

sum of Sabac - Sabacolypse - Dope album IMO, I like him more than Ill Bill after their solos...lyrics are more mature and thoughtful and the beats on this are dope too

Royce 5'9'' - Death Is Certain  - I'm part of a very small minority havin been disappointed in this, but it fa sho ain't wack. I just ain't feelin most of the production, Royce himself is tight on most songs

Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer - Dope shit, most of y'all prolly heard it too. One of the best LP to drop this year

Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine - I'd never call this "underground" but since 99.87% of the people on here are sleepin on it i'ma mention it. Tight and creative album

Dilated Peoples - Neighborhood Watch - Well if Ace and Royce count u might as well count this. I wasn't very impressed with it tbh, it's technically solid but not more. Most songs are just aight, but nothing i'd sit down and listen to for an hour without feeling the urge to do sumthin else and have it in the background. that's just how i feel about it, i wouldn't say it's wack or anything though

parts of Mr. Hyde - Barn Of The Naked Dead - well if u like Necro u MIGHT like him, if u don't forget about this. he ain't as good as  necro himself, but he can rhyme and flow goin on about basically the same shit

parts of Cormega - The Legal Hustle - quite nice, get that shit

RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke - You could debate on whether to call this "hiphop" or "triphop" or whatever, however if u want sumthin different and are open to sumthin with no MC's on it u could try this out, personally i liked the majority of songs on it

well there's prolly sum more, these came to mind spontaneously

smartass:
the underground has been filled with nothing but nerd rappers anymore...i dont even check for that shit...only underground albums i copped this year were legal hustle, and chick magnet. the last really dope album to be released by an underground artist was destined for greatness by l da headtoucha. wtf? since when was masta ace underground? hes just old school. theres a difference.

M Dogg™:
Cee-Lo is mos def not underground, Masta Ace is not underground, but is forgotten, and Royce was a never was in the commercial world so his still underground, plus his never had a contract with a major lable, which I think is the biggest judge of underground. And Dilated Peoples is not underground since Worst Comes to Worst.

Kill:
yeah, it all depends on ur definition of "underground". In my personal opinion Royce ain't 'underground' either just because his attempt to start a commercial career failed and he came back with a pure and unadulturated hiphop album. Speakin of "underground" names that pop into my head are Awol One, Lyrics Born, Buck 65, Luni Coleone, Black Dynasty etc. and i guess sumbody could start a debate on sum of these too
