Not my list. But sparks an interesting discussion.

Big Krit - Any of his free projects

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury

Joe Budden - Padded Room

Murs - 3:16

Cage - Hell's Winter

albums that should have made this list IMO. I would have put Fantastic Damage at #1 and Company Flow's Funcrusher Plus at #2 Cannibal Ox's Cold Vein at #3. El-P is a damn genius!

Also no Mos Def? One of the dopest MCs alive can't get on this list?

Didn't think Souls Of Mischief – 93 ‘Til Infinity was an underground album but I guess the standards were different back then. I have to dig in the crates to see what I would put up there.

I love Souls of Mischief. One of the most underrated groups of all time IMO.

They had the bad luck of being from the West Coast and not being gangsta rappers. Gangsta rap just took over. They were one of the best alternates to gangsta rap during that time. But in all honesty, 1993 was HUGE year in rap. Wu Tang, Snoop, Black Moon, Fat Joe along with Souls to name a few.

Too bad Fat Joe just fell off horribly and became awful....

I'm pretty familiar with a lot of SF MCs. San Quinn has always been one of my favorites...
