Blue Scholars are the homies. Glad you like Seattle Hip Hop. You need my Boy Jake One's album "White Van Music". I'm in the video for the track "Home"

I second the votes for Immortal Technique, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Black Starr, Mos Def, Talib Kwali, and De La Soul.

Too drunk to post much else.

What would you prefer it be called? A lot of Underground artists have been offered record contracts, but refused because they couldn't continue to cover the same subject matter.

Immortal Technique, for example, has recieved offers from Def Jam and (i think) Sony. But he refused.

sorry, I don't know if I said it right. anyway, I think I will stop, already made a fool of myself enough

The Psycho Realm made some good songs IMO, when they were off a major label

just saw E&A, Murs, Aesop and Atmosphere at Red Rocks on Friday missed Addicted to Gods


E&A is my favorite, especially their albums (and the Oliver Hart album). Blueprint/Soul Position is prob my favorite live for some reason, but I don't like the albums that much. I have only been listening to "UG" for, like, 5 years and I haven't really ventured outside of Rhymesayers cuz I don't have a lot of time to give to just one genre. I'm constantly listening to new music from a lot of different genres. My new favorite is SecTor 7G (http://www.myspace.com/sec7g), whom I saw w/ E&A a year or so ago. I also like Black Pegasus (http://www.myspace.com/blackpegasus), who is from C-Springs, CO. Can't forget ICP and Kottonmouth Kings not exactly UG rap, but you know.
