Favorite underground albums

[ImmortalTech]

wuttup,

i been gettin into the underground alot lately.. i juss wanted to know what ur favorite underground albums are and why.. heres a few of mine in no particular order:

Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun : Ali shows his range on this album, and his chemistry with his producer ANT is insane... I can listen to this album over n over again without gettin bored

Eyedea % Abilities - Fist Born : First time i heard this album i thought it was wack.. Then i went back and listened to it, and actually payed antention to the lyrics.. Eyedea's on some real phlilsophical shit

Vakill - Darkest Cloud : Punchlines or off the hook, and flow is on point. Not much more to say.

Honorable mentions:
Murs - Murs: 316
Pumpkinhead - Orange moon over brooklyn
Demigods - the gods must be crazy
Wordworth - Mirror Music
Sage Francis - Personal Journals
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary vol. 2 (only on the list cuz it was the first 'underground' album i heard and really got into_
Sandpeople - All in Vein
Atmosphere - Overcast
Mf Doom - Victo Vaugh - Vaudeville Villain (production was unique, gotta give it for that)
Eyedea - The Many Faces of Oliver Hart

I'll come up with a real list later, but I will say this, '06 has been a very good year so far for underground. Murs, Aceyalone, Dilated Peoples, and The Coup have all put out VERY strong records this year. And I won't even get into my love affair w/ the Gnarls Barkley record (but it's not really hip-hop).

[Franchise2003]

non - phixion - the future is now (sick beats, inconsistent rapping)
Jedi Mind Tricks - all albums (SToupe always supplies crazy instrumentals and samples, verses are pure fight music)
Louis logic - sinamatic (don't know where this cat went but his first album was real solid)
sean price - all albums (my favourite underground rapper, enough said)
blueprint - really chilled and soulful
killa priest - maybe not truly underground but criminally slept on
diabolic - limited subject matter good flow
cage - hells winter (awesome album the imagery this guy uses is second to none)

will post more later.........

Everything you just said is unofficial except for Makaveli 1, which is DK7, which isn't underground.

The D12 Underground EP is just a compilation of old unreleased tracks made by fans.

DK7 is short for Makaveli the Don - Killuminati: 7 Day Theory.
