My only suggestion is Cypress Hill. Get Black Sunday
Great band, great album! Really good live as well.

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Del La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising, De La Soul Is Dead
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions, Fear Of A Black Planet, Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age, He Got Game

They're not really underground as such, but they're what hip-hop/rap is really about for me anyway. I'll list some more after you've listened to a few and let me know what you like from them!
