It depends what on your definition of Mainstream. If guys like Joey Bada$$, Big KRIT, Danny Brown are underground then I listen to a hell of a lot more underground. But since they're getting a lot of buzz, some may consider them at the bottom of Mainstream, if that's the case then Mainstream.
BQ: What?
BQ2: Elzhi, Soul Khan, Street Light, Chino XL, R.A. The Rugged Man (if you don't count the guys I listed above
BQ3: Eminem, Nas, Earl Sweatshirt, Andre 3000, Drake (Not the annoying sh!t) Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole
BQ4:
Underground Album: Legends Never Die
Mainstream Album: Watching Movies With The Sound Off
Mixtape: Acid Rap

honestly, I dont dominate too much which of the rappers I listen are underground at all, but I think I listen just a few mainstream rappers but I listen em less than the underground rappers.
BQ2: Favorite underground rappers at the moment?
Joey Bada$$ it seems hes still being underground cause, tho a lot of my friends know him, he doesnt sound on the radio like mainstream rappers do, so I got him as an underground rapper
BQ3: Favorite mainstream rappers at the moment?
Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar
