jmt, ill bill, and akrobatik are the only people in that list that deserve any respect.
anticon/atmosphere and their camp is alright but some of their shit is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the fuck out there.
most of that underground shit is fucking stupid(obviously, to each his own) but it seems like they pick the longest words in the dictionary and misuse them in stretches of punchlines in an attempt to sound clever.
the real key to music is the universality - backpackers and self-important purveyors of hiphop believe they are God's gift to language. granted, an intelligent intejection of a witty quip is welcome here and there, but if you don't make fucking sense then it boils down to you being a moron.
knowing your audience is the key to success - i can talk computer shit with my computer friends but i switch gears when i'm talking to my buddies laying HVAC or my buddies fixing planes or whatever. these people wonder why they aren't big, time and time again reiterate how they don't like sellouts, when all they secretly wish is that they too could ride around in escalades with spinnahs ya heard
