From the school I come from, they are talked about frequently. I guess that's a bias, but it's all about real world experience, so I think my point is valid. I'd consider Tech N9ne hardcore rap and gangsta rap.

Also, if you haven't heard them, how do you know if they're considered underground rap?
That's a stupid way of looking at it. There are plenty of contemporary artists that are very familiar to me that I choose not to listen to, for obvious reasons. And while yes, I've never heard Look Daggers, I have heard Anghellic, Absolute Power, and Vintage Tech. So you can stuff it!
