Underground Hip hop

Some people think that hip hop is becoming worse and worse as time goes by, lyricists content had gone from real life pains, struggles and happiness to guns, sex and drugs. When we look back on people like Tupac, Mc Lyte, Notorious B.I.G, Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief and many more whom have blown the minds of many by their deep lyrics and fat beats. Today some mainstream artists tend to lack the creative and artistic ability like the hip hop community back in the 80s, 90s, and even early 2000s. That is to say that there still are some great mainstream artists, but this blog is to follow and track the underground hip hop, the men and women who can still flow and have raw lyrics and ideas. This blog is intended to give out names of artists and groups of the true hip hop underground....enjoy and follow....
