Deltron 3030 is the first one that comes to mind that I didn't see mentioned.

Sean Price - Monkey Barz, it was crazy when that shyt dropped.

DOOM had MM..FOOD, Operation Doomsday, the shyt with Madlib, shyt with Danger Mouse

I remember Pumpkinhead dropped a dope record, Orange Moon Over Brooklyn, I think it was

shyt, there's too many to list. It was a good decade for underground hip-hop.

Have had the Pumpkinhead album on my to get list for a while. Found a physical copy while digging at store today.

i kinda lost track with the underground shyt since some of it was fly by night but i been revisiting a lot of shyt lately putting myself back in that zone...also been peeping shyt i ignored at the time...

bumped that Anticon Music for the Advancement for Hiphop that shyt was just as terrible as i expected
