In my opinion Cunninlynguists, and Jedi Mind Tricks should go big like Eminem cause every one of their songs they put effort into, and and dont push out shitty songs just so they can get a new album out, and they put all they can in their songs, and have sick beats, they deserve to big, and get a little money for all their hard work!!

Wat do u guys think, anyone else have underground artists that should go big.

ON ONE HAND IT WOULD BE SICK TO SEE GUYS LIKE CUNNUNLYNGUISTS AND JEDI MIND tricks go big but its kinda nice that they are underground, and i would just like to say DL INCOGNITO KILLS IT!

Cunninglynguists yes... JMT no. Vinnie Paz is terrible, only thing JMT has going is the beats.

i have a feelin that if either artist "went big" you would stop liking them because other people would like them, and you would just tell everyone how you knew about them first and how awesome their old stuff was.

that's just my overall view of what happens when any 'underground' artist starts to get popular.

I've got way too fucking much of him. I have all 3 CDs and there's probably 5 good tracks between 40 songs. They're all the same, going on about how he's not a typical rapper, although his good songs are really good.

Audio Coke
Universal Love
Anticipation

are his only really good tracks.

Hahaha I love when some kid at school comes up to me and tries to show me Jedi Mind Tricks and talks about how underground and new they are...they are really not too underground, and theyve been around since 1992 I think so theyre really not that new. But they are really good though.

i feel the same way. jmt's lyrics are horrible. they have an entire song about beating up gay people and they just talk about how much weed they smoke and how cool they are...........and i really hope a lot of my favorite artists don't go big. i realize it would make them a lot of money which i'm all for. i just like the idea of knowing and loving artists that noone around me knows about. i guess thats lame cuz it makes me sound like i'm holding my music above everyone elses but i guess i like it that way. when all people are talking about is pop,locking,and dropping it. i love that i have immortal technique caught in a hustle or a nas beat or even a jedi mind tricks beat. it separates me from some people in a good way

They are both very good.  Cunninlynguists is better than JMT.  Lynguistics and Nothing to give are two very very good songs.  Swollen memembers is also an honorable mention they produce alot of good songs

Look what happened to eminem when he got big, same with snoop and Jay-z. Being big time seems to take the soul out of alot of rap

big labels run by guys that only let out what they think people like. thus the reason we have what we do on the radio.

I hope your not talking about Servants and Kings... because that album suuucked.
Violent by Design had some dope-ass beats, and thats about it.


Everybody who deserves to be big already is, they just do it indirectly.

MF DOOM produces the Gorilaz (or whatever the fuck they are called)
Price Paul produces tons of stuff for mainstream rap. and was a judge on that white rapper show (you could tell he was dissapointed by all of them).
Nas... well, he IS mainstream.

Although Cunning Lynguists(sp?) are good, they have a unique style that not everybody likes. Which is the reason that most underground rap stays underground.

Naw. No work on production. He only guested on "November is Come"...that is all. Maybe he produced that track? I know he didn't do much if anything on the production.
