maybe in an EXTREMELY general sense. Other wise, the topics they speak of, beats, etc all sound like newer hip hop. In fact, OFWGKTA has a lot of influence from mainstream acts, specifically gucci man, wacka flocka, and a lot of really heavy, bass dirty crunk music.
90's underground i think of digable planets and a lot of jazz oriented stuff, as well as the beginnings of EL-P and rhymesayer guys.
