overrated rappers Options

[brooklyneast05]

this thread probably exists, but i don't know where it is and i want more hip hop threads so i'm just going to make another.


lets talk about overrated rappers. obviously, i'm going to have to say lil wayne is the most overrated rapper right now, but i don't really wanna talk about him that much. becuase he's only overrated among people who don't actually listen to hip hop very much imo, so their rating is irrelevant. he's not even relevant to those of us with any sense. let's stretch this out to be not just about right now in music but in general.



in light of the new movie coming out, the notorious debate has been brought back to life between me and some friends. i feel that biggie is overrated. his flow was nice as f*ck, but lyrically? i don't think he can stand with the people he's held up next to.

my brother's argument: we never got enough material from him to know if he was overrated or not. he has this same argument for big L, who is also on my overrated list


anyway, give some overrated rappers.

To overrate someone is to give more credit than they actually deserve

I believe that Lil' Wayne deserves the recognition that he has currently. The man clearly knows how to freestyle well if you listen to A Milli and his redux along with his albums that he has out

B.I.G. must've done something right to have people make a movie about him after his death. Would you say that Tupac is overrated? The man is still making songs from beyond the grave. I'm like are you kidding me?

So really, all we're left here is Kanye West and Soulja Boy. Kanye West has made a few nice hits but when you say some cocky shit like 'going down as the voice of this generation' then you will unlock the douchebag achievement. And Soulja Boy... is an idiot
