Me Against The World overrated?

First of all it is a great album but I really don't think it's overrated. I never tend too see it on all of those lists praising the usual albums. I always feel like they're missing Me Against The World when classic albums are mentioned.

Can't think of any overrated at the moment.

Underrated: Lifestylez by Big L and Searching for Jerry Garcia by Proof.. Only ones I can some up with at the moment.

Surprised at people saying EVERY Pac album, Me Against the World is one the most consistent rap albums front to back, and the 7 Day Theory is a classic imo

Anyway Overrated ''classics'' to me: = All Eyes on Me, Get rich or Die Tryin', TES ( at lest on here anyway) Stillmatic
Underrated = Wu Tang Forever, Center of Attention, The Cold Vein
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

1. Restless was when he STOPPED makin his amazin classics, if anythins underrated, its at the speed of life.
2. Cheers is extremely overrated if every single eminem fan agrees its a classic, aint it?


You in the Shady/Aftermath obsession phase, cause by eminem fandom. dont worry, i went through it too.

Carter III, an overrated classic album? Who the fuck considers it a classic in the first place.

Overrated: Eminem Show (On this forum, only. Not anywhere else), All Eyez on Me
Underrated: Movies For the Blind, You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, Hip Hop Is Dead, Game Theory, State of Lunacy tbh tbh tbh.

Underrated - Searching For Jerry Garcia; I would consider this a classic. Proof is such an underrated Emcee and the emotion in this album is crazy. Switches his style up quite a few times as well.


2001 is overrated depending on who you are talking to. I think it has a handful of really good songs, but all great beats. Some L.A. Niggaz and Housewife only 2 beats I can't stand.

I agree "Searching For Jerry Garcia" is underrated, but i don't know about it being on of the most underrated albums ever.

I would say "Fear Of A Black Planet" by Public Enemy overrated. All because it had "Fight The Power" on it, its looked at like a classic.

Atliens by Outkast is underrated to me. I like that album the most by Outkast, but a lot of people see it as their 2nd or 3rd best. Behind "Stankonia" and maybe "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below."

I like Aquemini better than all 3 of those albums.

good choice. Has some songs that I like more than some on Atliens, but I like Atliens as a whole better.

Does anyone think Da Drought 3 is underrated here? I don't like Lil Wayne as much as the next person lol, but this is his masterpiece IMO. 2cds and only about 5 songs I don't listen to. The songs on this mixtape really made him blow up to what he is now and everything he has done after this is trash to me.
