What are some albums that you think didn't get its just due? I know there are a handful of artists in the game right now that have released nothing but good quality music, but often get completely slept on and overlooked.
The first person that comes to mind, is Obie Trice. Time and time again, he's been in Eminem's shadow. Perhaps the most gifted out of Shady/Aftermath camp (at times, better than Eminem), his album sales are stagnant, and outside of the 313, he has little no buzz.

In a general hip hop community, the Invisibl Skratch Piklz (DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike [Beastie Boys DJ], Shortkut, DJ Flare, Yogafrog, D-Styles [Third Sight DJ and producer], A-Trak [Kanye West's DJ that no one knows about], DJ Apollo, and DJ Disk) would be slept on. In a turntablist community, ISP would be considered overhyped by some.
Regardless, they're the stuff of legends in my book. The line up consisted of some of the best turntablists from the early ages of hip hop to present. Read up a little: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibl_Skratch_Piklz  It ain't the bling, gold chains, or what have you. It's the decks. |
