Can you give me the names of some conscious/underground hip hop artists?

Roots Manuva, Common, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli could be a place to start. I don’t know about it being underground, though, but it’s conscious for sure.

I’m not sure what youre calling underground. Maybe A Tribe Called Quest?

It’s okay I meant underground and/or conscious. Doesn’t have to be both. Thanx so far!

Sorry for doing this, but I have an answer here with all these links to songs. That might be what you’re talking about.

@Haleth Thaniks for the link. I don’t mind when people link to other questions, I have troubles with fluther search so I don’t typically use it.

Atmosphere
Felt
POS
Eyedea and Abilities
Murs
Brother Ali
Sage Francis
Soul Position

If you want me to give you a list of the best songs by these artists, let me know via pm. :)

@chels is on fire.

I can second:
Atmosphere
Brother Ali
Sage Francis

I would also suggest:
Living Legends
Talib Kweli
Outkast (even though they’re not underground)
Weerd Science
Del the Funky Homosapien (Try “Ice Pirates” feat. Sunspot Jonz)

here are a few:

- What the science?
– Immortal Technique

Immortal Technique raps about some very deep subjects, like how 9–11 can be a conspiracy, and how he witnissed a suicide etc.

@jfos Have you heard Felt? It’s Slug from Atmosphere + Murs. It’s awesome.
I totally second Talib Kweli. He’s amazing.

@chels Now that you mention it, I think I’ve heard one Felt song. I should definitely check out more. I know MURS is in Living Legends, so does that mean you’ve listened to them?

I love People Under the Stairs, Jedi Mind Tricks, The Roots, Cunninlynguists, Souls of Mischief, Erick Sermon, The Beatnuts, and Smif N Wessun!

Examples of good singles include:

Mic Like A Memory – Cunninlynguists
Saviorself – Jedi Mind Tricks
Trinity – Jedi Mind Tricks
Proper Aim – Souls of Mischief
93 Till Infinity – Souls of Mischief
Let’s Git It On – Smif N Wessun
Boy Meets World – Erick Sermon
Do You Believe – The Beatnuts
Mortal Kombat – Afu-Ra

Hope your Hub enjoys!

People Under the Stairs are my all time favorite.

Their best jams are: Acids Raindrops, San Francisco Knights, The Break Down, Montego Slay, and More Than You Know
