Seattle Underground Hip Hop Scene

[where are you harold miner 2]

Can we get some opinions going on the Seattle underground rap scene. I've been crushing Eighty4 Fly lately and am hooked

Eighty4 Fly





Macklemore is a unique cat, any baseball fans should look up My oh My - song he did for the late Mariners radio announcer

Blue Scholars obviously as well as Common Market.

Just wanna know what you guys think about this Seattle hip hip scene and put some of these guys on to people that might not know.

Sorry about the non-embed, if anyone wants to help me out would be much appreciated.

Besides Jake One, the Seattle hip-hop scene is boring imo... *shrug*

Im hella down. I saw Blue Scholars at Rock The Bells at the George amphitheatre a few years back and they rocked the house.

Boom Bap Project, Oldominion, Jake One, Grayskul, Fresh Espresso...

Then of course here in Portland theres Cool Nutz, Ohmega Watts, Sandpeople and plenty other cats that have yet to get any national exposure but are hella dope.

Blue Scholars:


Tom Pepe:




I feel NW hip hop is refreshing to listen to, but doesn't get national exposure or isn't being bumped in the clubs/radio because obviously it isn't what the mainstream hip hop listener is into nowadays...
conscious rap and delivering whether it be an educated message or expressing the struggle ain't whats hot to bump in the clubs, its all about songs with catchy hooks and "club bangers" if you will..
and I have nothing against that but as I said, I'm glad I live in a region where hip hop is still predominantly about the 4 elements and artists passion to deliver meaningful messages and a positive direction
for the youth and their fans.

Im really interested to hear what other genuine connoisseurs' take on NW hip hop is after givin' these tracks a real good spin...and i mean really listen to the lyrics and message rather than just tuning out to the
way they flow or the lack of 'swag' in the beats.

I'm excited to check out Macklemore when he comes to AZ (and just 2 blocks from my house). Gotta support the 206 and a fellow Bulldog!

[where are you harold miner 2]

Glad this got some pick up. Glad Macklemore getting some love too.

No comments on Eighty4 Fly? He is relatively low key but I like some of his songs, he seems way more mainstream type of songs/beats than Macklemore and a few others mentioned.

I dont really consider Blue Scholars underground anymore but thats just me...
