The Best of Underground Hip-Hop

I'm a Senior in college, and known by my peers as the go to "intellectual authority for everything hip-hop". I post and review the best songs hip-hop has to offer, old and new. Most will be in the “underground” genre, considering that’s where the vast majority of hip-hop's true art resides these days. I update my tumblr daily with new music. I also occasionally post mashups I've put together and poetry I'm working on. I'm currently living in Toledo, Ohio...in case you were wondering. _______________ My Favorites: . Hip-Hop Artist: .

Beastie Boys - Rhymin & Stealin

This is why they the Beastie Boys were ahead of their time. They had more influence on hip-hop than just about any other group. I actually have a greater appreciation for what they’ve done for hip-hop than their actual music. Regardless, they have a ton of old school songs that are simply outstanding. Such as this song from their famous 1986 debut album Licensed To Ill. It’s so damn raw.

“Because mutiny on the bounty’s what we’re all about
I’m gonna board your ship and turn it on out
No soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder
‘Cause I’m bad gettin’ bolder - cold getting colder
Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas
And if you’ve got beef - you’ll get capped in the knees
We got sixteen men on a dead man’s chest
And I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest”
