    BQ4: Best Underground Album: Midcity by Clipping

    Best Underground Mixtape: Acid Rap by Chance The Rapper (although it's since gone mainsteam but it was underground when he dropped it)

    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

    whatupppp‼‼😎✌

    BQ: Are You like me and listen to more underground artists than mainstream but you listen to the mainstream artists more or vice versa?

    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

    BQ 4: best underground and mainstream album and mixtape of the year so far?

    based in what I've listened up to now

    MAINSTREAM: Enter to the Wu

    UNDERGROUND: Black Star

    and thats all‼‼ ϡ
