Well I think 50 started out as Underground, then Eminem brought him up. But wutever, I listed 2 radio in the car cuz we don't have a CD player in the car, but yeah...

I'm from the Bay Area California, and this is who we listen to(underground people, by the way):

-Andre Nickatina(MY FAV ! I Love him!)
-Mac Dre(RiP)
-San Quinn
-JT the Bigga Figga(San Quinn's LiL' bro)
-Keak Da SneeK(white tees & Nikes baby!)
-YukMouth
-Equipto
-E40 !!!
-Da Team
-The Federation
-Mr. Kee
-Frontline(I STILL say MTV Rap Battle cheatted him !!!)

there's more, but I can't think of any, my brain's dead. But yeah, we acctually give our underground artists love & play them on the radio! That's wut I live about living in The Bay , we try 2 help one another.

thank you for supporting bayarea rap i like most of the people on your list.... also balance and some other guys im forgetting lol... balance preforms with frontline alot and was going to do the mtv battle thing... and i hate to say it but reignman won

and the bay area media plays our shit because we dont have any big name commercial artists... or biggest name alive is probably E40.. lol

pen i see you quoting nas "it's like sex on 747's cuz I don't give a FLYIN' F*CK... " hahah and some of your links are down

and haha at steph for all this logic and stuff... i think that if the underground artists get big they will either dumb down their lyrics to double their dollars or they will become talib kweli esque.... or if they get good producers then they can have a hot track... but i dont see people reciting some complicated verse.... i mean dudes today listen to the beats too much they sing like the in da club beat or the yeah beat before they accually sing the song... i dunno if you understand

anyways you guys should peep this stuff and give it a chance
