I see what you're tryin to do there, but most of them are more old school, than underground...OP would like most of them regardless. I mean...
Main Source's album "Breaking Atoms" went gold I believe...AZ went gold (maybe even Plat) on Doe Or Die, G Rap def went plat, BDK is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Big L is mult-platinum.
The rest though, Masta Ace is garbage other than "A Long Hot Summer". That album easily gets him into top-30 MC's of all-time though, such an underground classic...don't bother checking his other stuff out unless it's his posse album with eMc, "The Show".
Del Tha Funky Homosapien is a love-or-hate rapper, I love him on "Deltron 3030", other than that, he's okay.
MF Grimm has a classic 3-disc album, 40 good/great songs, 20 filler...worth checking out.

My suggestions:

- Ras Kass (Soul On Ice; album is fire)
- Kausion (3-man group founded by Ice Cube, only made 1 album "South Central Los Skankless" though it's probably my fav. West Coast album)
- Louis Logic (4 classic albums, the top rapper in the game right now...so slept on it's not funny...Sin-A-Matic > Alcohol/Ism > Misery Loves Comedy > Songs To Drink By...but all 4 are terrific)
- Andre Nickatina; aka Dre Dog (West Coast underground legend, get Cocaine Raps Vol.'s 1 & 2 and Raven In My Eyes...very great flow, good ear for beats)
- Prodigy (former top-5 lyricist back in his hay-day with Mobb Deep, now he keeps to the streets...my favorite rapper of all-time by miles, and HNIC is not underground, but it's conscience gangster rap at it's finest...Return of the Mac is last year's AOTY and HNIC 2 is one of this year's top cuts)
- MF Doom (you'll hate or love him...I suggest MM.. Food as an album)

Most of these isn't underground at all especially Kanye.
And if you meant Biggie Smalls a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G. then he definitely isn't underground either.
If that was the case then I can also name OutKast, and Erykah Badu too.
Neo Soul:
Lucy Pearl
Ledisi
Teedra Moses
Raphael Saadiq
Raheem DeVaughn
Van Hunt pwns.
Lina
Kindred The Family Soul
Martin Luther and
Geno Young

That is all I can remember.

I think he still is because he isn't really everywhere like all the normal R&B artists are.
And if he is somewhere then its him and not a specific label.
