Yeah underground rap is wierd in the fact that it has alot of fans but no radio play.

My one friend loves Tech N9ne.
3 of my close friends love Rhyme Asylum and Atmosphere.
My one friend knows a SHIT TON of underground and old school.
Another kid I know loves JMT/AOTP.

The list goes on and on and on.

I can't speak for the entire country, but based on the people I know, even some of the mainstream hip hop artists aren't very well-known. Like most people I know have never heard of Lupe Fiasco, for example. Most people I associate with would only know Kanye West, Jay-Z, Eminem and maybe 50 Cent (and from UK rappers, Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah, and Professor Green is quite well-known too now).

So yeah, I'd say Rhyme Asylum aren't well-known here.

Imagine how much work RA put together in their albums for only to be recognized by such a small number of ppl, it's such a horrible discouragement

This.

Fucking Sad tbh

Ireland's worse. The only rappers in the mainstream are Rubberbandits, and they're not even serious rappers.

Hmmm, it's a wierd one...Anyone who listens to UK Hip-Hop knows who RA are, anyone who doesn't, doesn't...

And when I say UK Hip-Hop I mean the real Underground shit...Not this Chipmunk/Tinie Tempah bullshit...

That's true, but only like 1000 people in the entire country listen to underground hip hop, so I wouldn't say they were big here.

Nah not saying they're big in general, but big amongst the people who actually listen to underground Hip-Hop...Plus their Facebook page has over 8,000 likes so I'd say it's a bit more than 1000 lol...
