What Does ‘Underground Rap’ Mean Today?

The meaning of “underground rap” has changed over the years. This is the story of underground hip-hop’s evolution, and the shifting meaning of the term.

Really cool stuff.  This is a topic that I always find interesting: what does "underground" really mean today, in the year 2021?  I think I'm aligned with Mavi's thoughts and this great Jonathan Tanners quote: "Part of [being underground] is an aesthetic, and part of it is an ideology. And I think that's where people get confused.”

s/o to Andre Gee for the terrific write-up (especially interesting to find this featured in Complex, it says a great deal about the stylistic climate of rap music at the moment, and where content is trending).

Whether Mary J Blige, Sadat X, Raekwon, etc, etc, working with featured artists is always a thrill and having  Aaliyah come to our studio session to do the remix for us was at the top of the list. Again it was humbling to learn that she was a fan of ours. You’re just kinda taken back  when someone like Aaliyah is telling us that her and the family are Boot Camp and Duck Down fans. Smif n Wessun’s “PNC” Cook had the link with Aaliyah’s family but I’m thinking that they don’t even know who we are. I remember her telling us that she saw the “Operation Lock Down” video, and they were bugging out over it. More flattering to me because I wrote the treatment for that video.
