Verse of the Year (So Far)

This is not an album review.  

I don't normally do this, but I've been listening to Sir Lucious Left Foot...The Son of Chico Dusty nonstop since it came out, and I felt the need to proclaim that, in my humble opinion, Big Boi's got the best verse of 2010 (so far) on "The Train, pt. 2."  

"Look up up and I pray / ChannelIng that heavenly energy / There’s plenty we can say / See the enemy is winning cause your punk a** be afraid / But I Spray what’s on my brain to educate and entertaIn / KRS, he said it best / I learned from listenIng to the tapes / Before i-i-Tunes came out and made a CD obsolete / Before realIty TV would seem to be that bIg mistake / Now BIg Brother's got these cameras deep in each and every state / WhIle each and every rapper claims to be the heavy weIght / Cause he mentions cocaine in ‘bout everythIng he make / And then wonder why them people try to pin him wIth that case / Cause his blow is dixie crystal /Pistol play was just for play / Fake / Just for play play / Got them bay bays / Believe in that bullsh*t / I said just for play play / But got them bay bays / It’s f***ed up"

Who is the most underrated talent in Chicago?

I was just thinking about the local scene and what it would take to elevate it to the status of Atlanta or the old NYC. I am thinking about how much our scene has grown, and how it has stayed the same. How Ringtone Rap has become the source of biting and envy across the country. And how are Nas, Wu Tang, Ghostface, Jigga, and these other 90's artists going to do in late 2007-2008? It should be interesting to watch.
Let me know who you think has some skills ready to show off. LINKS PLEASE.
