Most Overrated Underground Rappers

Postby MikeNUFC » Mar 13th, '11, 19:58

Immortal Technique
Vinnie Paz

Just find them both monotonous and boring. Don't think either has a very good flow (IT's is dreadful).

And I used to be a Chino XL fan but listening back to some of his stuff, I don't know why. I think he's average at best.

EDIT: And of course, how could I forget Canibus? easily number one in terms of most overrated

Yep Immortal Technique, his flow generally sucks and he's a pretentious idiot about a lot of stuff.

Btw, I never meant to say Tech was overrated. I was just correcting Killa's spelling of Tech N9ne.

Tech is in my top 10 rappers.

I think Chino Xl is horrendous tbh, his flow, delivery, voice sucks. It sounds like he hasn't had his balls drop yet, but he's a steroid up motherfucker so who know, not the mention he has the geekiest voice. Did I mention how much some of his punchlines suck btw?

Immortal Tech I also feel has such a try hard delivery, and it pisses me off. I do like some songs, but for the most part he's repetitive as fuck.

Hopsin on this site gets overhyped as well, probably cause of his similarities to Eminem. So many other rappers who I think are better honestly.

Slaughterhouse as well, never really liked them.

There are a lot more that get overhyped in this site, but aren't really mentioned anywhere else, so I can't really call them overrated.

Underrated

One Be Lo listen to Sonogram and Masters of The Universe

Gift of Gab one half of Blackalicious, he has a consistant discography

Zumbi from Zion I

Dessa from Doomtree

A lot of Canadian rappers such as Shad, K-os, Knaan

POS

Hopsin,Dude is a cheap cheap slim shady.

Brother Ali,quite boring

Immortal Technique,The DUMBEST rapper ever,he has 2 good songs though.

Tech n9ne,word of mouth on the guy here is that he is a GOD,his music was so untidy and boring,hated him

Sadistik,never got all the hype abt him here,dude can deff rhyme,just i dont know i didnt like him.

Canibus,cant get half the shit he says

Underrated

Crooked I,dude is my fav rapper at the moment,syllable stress master,just an incredible rapper.

Joe Budden,a rapper that can do it all super dope.

ToneDeff,an incredible rhymer,very good musically too,one of the fastest flows i heard,and he got every syllable right doin it.

CunninLynguists,loved them tbh,enjoyable rappin and music

Btw, Slaughterhouse is far from underrated if we're talking strictly underground.

How is Tech's music "untidy"? Care to elaborate?

And Budden is definitely not underrated, he is getting praised by almost everyone who mentions him.

yeah i found hopsin to be a rip off,i still enjoy listening to his music,but really people called him "The Next Eminem" there will never be another Eminem.

man IMO SH are sick,i would even go on and say IMO they the best group ever,with all due respect to the wu bein close seconds.

@dr3

maybe cuz he switches his flow alot,lots of effects on his tracks,weird sounds in the background and shit,beats and production he is rappin on is horrible,iunno didnt like him and oh yea bro.

Outkast, Blackalicious, Cunninlynguists, Binary Star, Zion I, Mobb Deep, The Roots, Goodie Mob, DITC, JMT, Doomtree, Blackstarr, De La Soul? But whatever it is your opinion just saying there's a lot of great groups out there.

Agree with Slaughterhouse being overrated - I mean, they're all good individually (although I honestly dont think Joe Budden is as good as people make out) but as a group they lack any sort of spark and there's no real direction to their tracks. Not one song I've heard by them has sustained my interest over a decent period of time.
