Your right about the lil wayne comment. That kids an idiot. But you listed Big Pun, Nas, DMX, Common, and Talib as underground rap? I would say anyone who has or has had a song on the radio is not underground.

As for the thread creator look up-

Blackalicious
The Grouch
Zion I
Louis Logic

Just for a start. See what styles you like and build off it from there. Dont ask other people what is good underground rap because what music people like varies. Sorry for the small rant there but I dont want you to have a bunch of music your not really feeling.

^Word. I know my first post kinda contradicts your second point but I figure if I name a lot of artists there's a pretty good chance he'll like a few. But DEFINITELY look up Louis Logic, such an amazing rapper. In fact, I might have a link to a couple of his albums from another thread. No one snitch, I took extra special care to make them discreet and I don't want them taken down for the other thread.

He has more albums but those are the only two I could find online. Enjoy.
