the QN5 record label as a whole is underrated
tonedeff- the all-round most accomplished emcee in the history of hip hop (seriously!). theres nothing he cant do in regards to lyrics, flow, speed, delivery etc.. his production is pretty good too
packfm- insane lyricist and battle emcee
substantial- again, awesome lyricist, and the real deep tone to his voice is different
cunninlynguists- better known than the others, but still underrated after numerous classic albums. Kno is one of the best producers in hip hop
I'm sorry but I'd have to disagree, annd i'm very familiar with each of their catalogs.
Tonedef is good, but how is he 'the most accomplished emcee in the history of hip hop'. Honestly I'm just wondering.. Maybe me and u have veerrrry different definitions of accomplished emcees.
PackFM is completely hit or miss for me.. He's extremely inconsistent imo. He's either good or he sucks really bad. And even when he's good, he's not usually all that great.
Substantial is an interesting emcee I tend to enjoy his music... And I dont think he's underrated more like unknown, to most hip hop fans.
Annnd Cunninlynguists are definitely not underrated, they're one of the most highly regarded underground hip hop groups of all time.
.. Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying the guys u mentioned are bad or anything like that.. I just dont think they're underrated.
But thats hiphop for u, everyone's got a different ear and their own opinions and views, and thats what makes it dope
peace
