Certainly there are great hip-hoppers out there--Lauryn Hill and Nas to name two--but as record labels jump on the rap bandwagon, the disposable acts are piling up. As two female performers, Bahamadia and Rah Digga, observe on a recent duet, "Mediocre rappers gettin' all this play/While the underground rappers stay around...
