    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.

                              Good looks.

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