Canibus
Esoteric
Aesop Rock
Cormega
Killah Priest

Ever or just now Gold?

J-Live
Paris
Immortal Tech
Talib Kweli (Is he still underground?)
MF Doom
Chino XL

Thats the thing is that its hard to judge who is underrground. I personally don't consider Talib or Del underground but I guess they could be... it all comes down to opinion. Del would probably be my fave underground MC though, if he counts

Right this is based on the total package(lyrical ability,flow,album quality)

Its in some kind of order.

^ R.A. The Rugged Man is dope he's in my top 20 underground rapper probably

Not to sure on talib status as an underground MC so i will substitute him for Murs. Yeah also got to mention slug. Any of you guys heard Slug and Murs hip hop group Felt. Its dope. Got both their albums.

In no order:
Vakill
Chino XL
Masta Ace
Jeru the Damaja
Killah Priest

uncommon valor

True story...
Call me Thorburn, John H. Staff Sergeant, Marksman
Skilling, killing, illing
I'm able and willing
Kill a village elephant, rape and pillage your village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas
This ain't a real war, Vietnam shit
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
Soothing, drug-abusing, Vietnamese women screwing
Sex, scampling and booz, and all the shit is amusing
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
I don't want to go home, where I'm just a ordinary human being
Special OP, Huey chopper gun shit, run shit
Gook run when the mini-gun spit, won't miss, kill shit
Spit four-thousand bullets a minute
Bit the Charlie, hit trigger, hit it
I'm in it to win it, get it
The lieutenant hinted the villain, I've ended up killing
The killing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
A wizard with weapons, a secret mission we about to begin it
Government funded, behind enemy lines bullets is spraying
It's heating up, a hundred degrees
The enemy's the North Vietnamese, bitch please
Ain't no sweat, I'm told "be at ease"
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we about to hit some trees
till the rotor broke, crash land, American man
Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
Take a swig of the whiskey to calm us
Them yellow men wearing black pajamas
They want to harm us
They all up on us
Bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines
Pray to the one above, It's raining and I'm covered in mud
I think I'm dying, I feel dizzy, I'm losing blood
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Blacks, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must have died, then I woke up, suprised I'm alive
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back
But ain't escape Agent Orange, two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegic, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it they had it
My son died he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
Cause in life, God take, God give

Before Square Buck was super Hip-Hop,
then he got bored and went experimental
After square,
Buck kinda toned it down and came off the experimental tip,
now he's kinda got a folk/country sound.

Greenhouse Effect = Blueprint + Manifest


Interview

MVRemix: As a group, Greenhouse Effect consists of Manifest and Blueprint. You guys just released your album, ‘Columbus Or Bust’. Tell us about the LP.

Blueprint: It’s been a long time coming. It’s a new style. I’m happy with it. It’s the first album and it feels like a brand new group.

MVRemix: How did you two meet?

Blueprint: Actually, this dude grew up around the corner from me, but I didn’t know him at the time. We went to separate high schools, but we met at college. Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.”

MVRemix: Do you have a favorite song on the ‘Columbus Or Bust’ LP?

Blueprint: I don’t think so, man. I don’t know. It’s like picking your favorite kid.

Fess: Right, right. I like them all.

MVRemix: Murs appears on ‘They Listen To This’. How did you hook that collaboration up? What was it like to work with Murs?

Blueprint: I met Murs on tour. It was the ‘God Loves Ugly’ Tour with Atmosphere. It was the first tour I ever went on. We all toured. Me and Murs were like roommates. We toured together. We did like 70 shows in two and a half months. We were around each other every day. We always tried to put something together after that.

MVRemix: Was the collaboration with Murs recorded while together, in the studio, or was it mailed in?

Blueprint: Nah, it was done in the studio. He came to my place. He was here.

MVRemix: What song on ‘Columbus Or Bust’ took the longest to do, from conception to completion?

Blueprint: I would say the one with Jakki on it, ‘You Must Learn’. That may have been the longest. You know, when you are actually talking about something and you don’t want to regurgitate what everybody else is saying?

MVRemix: On ‘Columbus Or Bust’, you did your own version of ‘Shook Ones Pt. 2’ by Mobb Deep. Out of all of the Mobb Deep songs, why did you choose this one?

Blueprint: It started out as a show routine. We thought, ‘Hey, man wouldn’t it be funny?’. You know, when you see a live show, rappers will go out and rhyme to somebody else’s beat. That’s pretty common in rap shows. I started doing routines where I would take that to the next step. We would re-write that verse, or one part of that, when I used it. This was so it wouldn’t just be me, rapping my rhyme over their beat. I wanted to make a real tribute to it, but rearrange the verses on it. We came up with the idea to do ‘Shook Ones’. It came up at a show and it sounded good. We had to record it over that same beat just to learn it. Then, we kind of liked how it came out. We were like, ‘Shit!’ You know?

MVRemix: How do you think Mobb Deep would feel about your version of ‘Shook Ones’?

Blueprint: They would probably think that it was either real weird or they would feel complemented. Maybe, they would feel that we were stalkers or that we were complementing them. (Laughs).

MVRemix: When creating a song, do you have the lyrics pre-written or a set theme? Or, do you hear the music first and then, write to the beat?

Fess: Now, I try to write to the beat. Sometimes, I come up with it, but in this business and group, I write to the beat. I just find it easier and I could be more apart of the song.

Blueprint: Yeah, I try to write to the beat. I come up with concepts ahead of time. There would be a lot of times where I would see something, think about it, and say to myself, ‘I wanna write a song about that’. I would make a little note to myself. It takes it until you hear a track that puts you in that mood before you actually write the song.

MVRemix: Blueprint, you are a renowned producer, but you have also rhymed over beats produced by other producers. Do you have a different approach to writing over someone else’s production?

Blueprint: Yeah. If it is a solo song, yes. It’s completely different. A lot of the solo stuff I do, I try to think of a hook first. I’ll try to be really focused with my writing and really conceptual. It’s not like a battle rapper style. A lot of stuff I do for myself is really specific and conceptual. On the other hand, some of the Greenhouse stuff is just us having fun and emceeing. I don’t get an opportunity to do a lot of that.

MVRemix: Blueprint, were you an emcee or producer first?

Blueprint: I was an emcee first. We’d rhyme. The town has less people than Ohio State University. We were rhyming at the time, but we didn’t have anybody to do beats. No one knew how to do beats. No one wanted to be behind. The kids with samplers inspired me to do beats. Once I was inspired, the next day, I put a sampler on layaway at a pawn shop. I never thought that I would ever be as good as I am at it.

MVRemix: Who are some of your major influences for production?

Blueprint: Premier, Pete Rock, D.I.T.C. I like Dre. I like the production for Outkast. Earthtone.

MVRemix: Who are some of your major influences?

Blueprint: I grew up on EPMD, Krs-One. After that era, Nas.

MVRemix: What do you think of albums by Nas?

Blueprint: Lyrically, I think he really stepped up. I always had issues on beats. I just like what he does visually.

MVRemix: Do you do pre-production often?

Blueprint: I do everything. Sometimes, I use songs that were recorded two years ago. I would go back and re-visit them. I would make the beats better. My process is different. Some people would go in, drop a beat, lay the vocals, and be done. That’s just the beginning stage for me.

MVRemix: If you could remix any classic hip-hop song, which one?

Blueprint: I don’t know if I would. A lot of those songs are so perfect, I wouldn’t want to f*ck them up.

MVRemix: What about remaking a different one besides ‘Shook Ones’ by Mobb Deep?

Blueprint: If I did, it would be a silly version. It would be serious. Maybe, I would do something like ‘Cheque The Rime’.

MVRemix: Who are some producers you would like to rhyme over their production in the future?

Fess: J Dilla.

Blueprint: The producers I am motivated the most by are Jay Dee, El-P. I’m crazy about what Edan did on his last record. I like J-Zone.

MVRemix: How did you start Weightless Records?

Blueprint: I started the label in 1998 or 1999 with me and this guy from College. We started out, and eventually did some shows. We didn’t have any music. I started dubbing up tapes. I didn’t have a name. I would be dubbing tapes all week at my house. We eventually got distribution. At the time, it wasn’t that hard. It was just what I was doing after work. I was calling people, writing people, contacting writers, sending them our tapes, and going to shows. It wasn’t necessarily a label really

MVRemix: That Soul Position collaboration with RJD2 was dope. How is RJD2’s production style different from yours?

Blueprint: In the past, I would say that he is a little more elaborate. Mine is more effective. There wouldn’t be a lot of breaks and really musical sections. You have a song like ‘Share This’ on the ‘8 Million Stories’ album. That song is, as an instrumental, is amazing. It’s so challenging to come up with something to complement it. Sometimes, to me, I would try to concentrate on making the beat effective. I would try to come up with a 2-bar / 4-bar arrangement that is really compelling to listen to for 2 or 3 minutes. Then, I would roll with that. I think that’s probably the only real difference.

MVRemix: What music have you guys been listening to lately?

Blueprint: Today, old soul records. I’m trying to have a barbeque on Saturday and I want to be on some grown man sh*t.”

Fess: I’m listening to a lot of stuff coming out of Detroit. I like Slum Village and their camp. That’s basically it. All of that type of stuff.

MVRemix: Who are some artists you would like to rhyme with in the future?

Fess: I never really thought about it. I really don’t have an answer for that. I don’t really look at music like that, you know? I don’t feel like I have to climb on a track with this person or that person. I have no answer. There’s nobody in particular, but I would like to work with people who I’m feeling. Of course, I like Jay-Z, J Dilla, Juelz, for his reasons. I have a range.

MVRemix: Blueprint, who are some emcees you would like to produce?

Blueprint: I would like to produce for any rapper who can rhyme well but put out an album that kind of sucked. You know, people who historically have had bad beats. You know, Nas, Ras Kass, and Canibus. They are great but their ear for beats sucks. Those would be my first three. I would like to produce an album for each of those dudes who never lived up to their potential.

Not to my knowledge,
he must have just been supportin the scene,
or he might have traded a beat for it.
