I'll just name 2, some others have been mentioned already(ie. Crooked I)
Kurupt. In his Death Row days he was a fucking beast
Treach (naughty by nature). I guess since it was a group, and they were famous for big radio hits he never gets mentioned. Homeboy is super underrated, has a wicked flow.

Prince Ea...

not so much underrated but perhaps unheard of? I dunno, he just seems to never ever get mentioned.
maybe because he hasn't released much recently or that much in general. But he's one of my favourite rappers.
I'm not tryin to be rude, but I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth

1. Andre 3000 (some people would consider him overrated, I don't)
2. Big Boi
3. Hopsin (underrated in the general public, not on this site)
4. Obie Trice
5. Kuniva
6. Swifty McVay
7. Eminem (I agree with Manix, I feel like outside of this site he's pretty underrated compared to someone like Wayne or Rick Ross. I still feel like he doesn't get as much props as he deserves...at least until he drops a single for a new album)
8. Black Thought
9. Atmosphere (Slug)
10. Slim The Mobster

I really wanted to add Kendrick Lamar but a lot of people consider him to be one of the best these days. Still, I feel like he doesn't get enough props.
