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).
