Oooh we have a musical elitist here with theprof. Two can play at that game.
Almost all modern rap/hip-hop/r&b is an embarrassment to music, even the people who practically created those genres such as James Brown (who is a legend) are ashamed of what it has become. That includes your 'underground' music.
Edit: And yeah, as you might have guessed I don't actually have a personal favourite in modern hip hop.
