I'm looking for some fairly non-mainstream hip hop songs (no Jay-Z or Lil' Wayne shit or anything similar) for listening to when I'm cruising and to balance my huge electronic library. Suggestions or your favourites please.

Really? The exact same question? Well sorry for being uninformed about this, I'll try to be more conscientious.

Rather than looking for music just because its not "mainstream" look for artists that have been around a while, and still sold records in the 90s when you had to be able to flow..

Neither is Wutang.

MF Doom's cd is advertised on TV.

Underground Hip Hop isn't really underground anyway.  Two of the videos I posted are pretty underground but only because LC are Austrailian (and I'm pretty sure over there they're weidely known), and Pumpkinhead's DJ can only hold it together on like a quarter of the tracks.

So lets just call it underground anyway so we can all feel cooler.

seriously? i posted

Cannibal Ox
Count Bass D
Main Source
Mad Skillz.

have you even heard of any of these people? CBD is the most underground guy ever, and can ox made one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, and are almost the definition of underground. shad is not underground, Biggie is not underground. Nas is not underground. ATMOSPHERE IS THE MOST MAINSTREAM FUCKER EVER THAT EVERYONE THINKS IS UNDERGROUND!!!!


fuck you
