underrated to who? McGruff been nice! mixtapes and gets a few dollars in the streets... never gon see him on certain shows or get n played like soulja boy!
Gruff was a savage! that's one thing about Big L he knew how to recruit talent his whole camp was nice along wit L being the best and the realest mc we ever had here in harlem.
McGruff, def one of the illest... If you perfect your lyricism-game like this AND still have time to hit the streets real heavily and put some mad work in, then you're def a chosen one...
Everyone should know who McGruff is. I'm from Canada lol, not really relevant when we have this wonderful tool called the internet. Everyone should Know all of Big Ls shit, and he was on a bunch of it. Him and L were tight.

Greatest beat ever.
I’m from the East coast, I don’t care, snatch police coats
Leave the beef roast, Gruff disturb the peace in me, ghost
Walk with notes, plus I’m known for putting forks in throats
Armed robbery, strong-arm, dope-fiend yolks
No joke, the burner that’ll totally leave you on a woke
Heartless, body niggas, roll a blunt or smoke
Spaced-out loc, sherm-head, my eyes turn red
One time I came in off my high, eleven guys was dead
Hold my own, from my Harlem home to Rikers
Upstate and downstate, with them hillbilly crackers
They got the average black man labelled as a savage
Before that cabbage, they tend to pick up bad habbits
Let me tell ya, how I live I put paraphernalia
Wait, Herb Mcgruff ain’t got vowels to show ya
Kingpin stay sharp, supreme thinking
Getting money out my ass, you think my cream sinking?
Heroin don, yeah private jet airborne
Me and my niggas couting figures with that fresh gear on
Sip Crystal, skip the Mo’, don’t like Fidel Castro
Sporting diamond rings like Don King with that wild afro
It’s time now, nahmean, all about to blow
Don’t fake jacks, get the green, go all out for dough
Where I’m from son, snitches be dialling 9-1-1
But those the ones you find in alleys filled with 9 dum-dums
Ayo my town’s real, it ain’t no fairy-tale here
Homicide Harlem, BLAOW, what’s the problem?
We rob ‘em, take all the jewels and the lucy
Cowards that grave, hit the fools with the uzi
I lived this, handle all my business, leave no witness
God bless the guy who testify, dressed to die
F the BS, ‘bout to cop his Lex GS
Gruff be hitting virgin skins, ‘cause the sex be fresh
Hold my own, I’m known as the black Alcapone
Dangerzone, we pack chrome and whack out your dome
On 139 and Lenox is where you will find this menace, puffing lye, sipping Harvey’s Bristol, wine and Guiness
