overrated rappers Options

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.

i think 50 is overrated...sorta. he sorta can't be overrated to me though. even when he was on top of his game it seemed to me like mostly hype by the mainstream. the thing is that i don't know anyone who ever said 50 was a legend or something like that. so it's not like people are saying he's amazing and he isn't, i don't think he was ever in the running to be one of the greats. i think he got too much hype when he made it big with his club music.


i don't care that much for him in general. admittedly i have hate it or love it, 21 questions, and hustler's ambition in my itunes still haha. i like them.


50's laughin all the way to the bank though


edit:

i'm listening to him...ya know i think he coulda been good if he was more talented lyrically. i don't think he's a very intelligent guy really. i sorta like his delivery sometimes though. i'm listening to hustler's ambition.



i would rather listen to 50 and the game than wayne
