There are probably some people reading this thinking dismissively to themselves that "Underground" sounds like a classic hip-hop buzzword stapled to a release in order to throw together a few crappy b-sides as means for a quick money grab, but it is actually a really good name for this compilation in several ways. It's fair to say that in many circles these days hip hop is becoming increasingly intellectualised, and that's totally fine, but there is something so compelling and visceral about the utter lack of pretension in the way the likes of Triple Six Mafia recite their lines depicting murder, getting high, and murdering people whilst also getting high.
