Who else misses the underground Em?

[Snakebeast]

97-2000 was definitely underground Em. He was at his rawest and wasn't rhyming like a total idiot.

He was in the mainstream, but his rhymes still had an underground influence. Unlike today.

When do you think the freestyles I quoted in the OP were made? Around 99-2000.

97 I count as underground. Underground and mainstream are mutually exclusive terms. You can't be both at the same time.

I'm not talking about his status as a rapper, but moreso the rhymes he would write.

An underground emcee wouldn't write songs along the lines of Berzerk, but really the ones I posted in the OP.

Underground =/= good, nor does it mean good rhyming.
