Immortal Technique I think. Mobb Deep and Wu-Tang were the first shits I listened to that most average people couldn't tell you anything about.

Definitely Immortal Technique.

Point of No Return to be exact. A long time ago. Still a raw ass song. Kind of just blew him off though and listened to the popular (but good) artists like cham, 50, Em, Akon (Sorry Blame it On Me anyone?), Kanye, etc.

And then probably like a year ago I think I started getting into the underground college rapper scene (last year was my freshman year). Dudes like Chiddy, Tayyib Ali, and then eventually Macklemore and Blue Scholars. Found out about k-os too. Then came to this forum and started finding out about more lyrical underground rappers (Hopsin represent).

And that's my story.

Don't know if anyone has heard of them.

Slaughterhouse, if you consider that underground.

After that was Immortal Technique then Diabolic.

Immortal Technique back in 2005 or '06
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified[/i - Jay-Z

Tilted! Brim low brim low....

Which was an underground song, featured on one of his mixtapes. But, actually, the very first Lupe song I've heared was Mean & Vicious. On one of his Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes...

Haha. I used to speed up everytime that song came on, that shit was banging. I gotta start listening to Lupe soon, I'ma start downloading his stuff. Are his mixtapes good? I know his rhymes are straight, but are the beats good? I'm gonna go for his early stuff for now...

Yeah, son, his mixtapes are fire. Some dope beats too. Wordplay is of the chain on those mixtapes.
