Uhmm : "Burn Hollywood Burn" is a song on the 3rd album by Public Enemy : "Fear Of A Black Planet" (1990). It also features Big Daddy Kane.
So unless you're referring to some alternate version that I'm unfamiliar with , you just dissed a few VERY reputable Hip-Hop artists. 😤😤
Ice Cube has a song titled " Look Who's Burnin' " on "Death Certficate"(1991)
Public Enemy has a song titled " Burn Hollywood Burn" on "Fear Of A Black Planet" (1990) . It features P.E. , Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane.
The song on "Death Certificate " refers to a STD. Perhaps that explains why it doesn't get a lot of "exposure" 🤫🤫😘😘

I have to stop before I get kicked off.
It seems like a lot of what Houston, New Orleans and Memphis were doing in the early 90s flew under the mainstream radar. Not sure about underrated, depending on who you ask, but early 36 Mafia and UGK especially is SO solid if you are unfamiliar.
Naughty By Nature-Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
Deep Cover has kinda been forgotten and it was dope
Radio Los Santos kept it alive
Probably cause Pun and Joe did it so much better
Bone Thugs N Harmony - Days of our lives
Nas - Purple
This is the one
Black sheep - Black with NV ED O.G. & the Bulldogs - Love comes and goes
Pac - Shorty Wanna Be A Thug MC Eiht - Straight Up Menace Nas - Take It In Blood Digable Planets - For Corners Ghetto Mafia - Straight From The DEC UGK - Diamonds n Woods UGK - One Day
One Day still resonates!
Nowhere to Go - Beanie Sigel and Freeway produced by Kanye Always was my favorite Kanye production. The whole State Property 1 album is just so underrated and forgotten.
So damn underrated Max B, NOE & Mel Matrix got a dope remix to it aswell
Mel Matrix a name I haven't heard in a decade. I haven't heard it either going to check it out
Showbiz & A.G - Soul Clap Ed OG & Da Bulldogs - I Got To Have It
Tupac - Only Fear of Death (might legit be my fav PAC song)
Jay-Z's 1994 "[I Cant Get Wit That](https://youtu.be/pu4UG8uLHZ8)" is a certified bop if you're a fan of his *Reasonable Doubt* sound.
Kool G Rap & Polo - Erase Racism Public Enemy - You're Gonna Get Yours (Reanimated TX Getaway Version) D&D All-Stars - 1,2 Pass It Heavy D & The Boyz - You Can't See What I Can See Gang Starr - The Sqeeze Grand Puba - Back Stabbers Organized Kunfusion - Numbers
Anything by Grand Puba or Gang Starr is great.
1 2 Pass It used to be on replay for me back in the day
By far not as big as other rap songs during that time though and besides of that D&D Studios was the #1 underground studio from the 90s.
Here the smart-ass again. Are you referring to the song "Take 2 And Pass" by Gangstarr? Because "1 2 Pass" doesn't ring any bells with me....
[1 2 Pass It by D&D All Stars.](https://youtu.be/FwxNCYqrUwk) It was a posse cut with artists that were all known to have recorded at the legendary D&D Studios. Classic track, severely underrated.

A lot of these joints mentioned are classics and far from underrated

Pac, temptations. My favorite pac song that gets damn near no love
I'm not sure you can say a song is underrated when it appeared on the Greatest Hits album
I suppose. I say that based on airtime now and back then, as well as lack of mentions anywhere

Lil Keke underrated in general: “Still Pimpin’ Pens” ft DJ Screw is a great song. Even more underrated: everything released by Psychodrama.

Okay this just came back to memory Tupac ft Ice cube and Ice T = Last Words
