Mac Miller is really fucking terrible in my eyes. Overrated past any other mainstream rapper today.

They make punchlines innovative again. They made a new sub genre of horrorcore. They barely spit any filler, almost every line has work put into it. They're flow is one of kind. They're multi syllabic rhyming is impeccable. Beautiful production. No other group has 2 emcees as good as Psiklone and Possessed in it (Plazma is also great just he kind of quit). The diversity in their lyricism is unheard of, along with the content.

To be honest it sounds like you're just a very big fan and that they are making the kind of rap you personally like the best. I'm not saying they are bad or anything but I've heard rappers as good as them.

Mac Miller is extremely overrated but his sound is so mainstream, and he's a XXL freshman so I wouldn't consider him as underground.

I'm sorry right, and I don't mean to be ignorant, but if you seriously can't see that Rhyme Asylum are anything but overrated, you are just..just wrong! This isn't about liking their music, this is a thread for overrated rappers, and Rhyme Asylum are not overrated lmao! 40,000 views on YouTube yeah? Sellout bastards! They way too popular. :facepalm

And for the record, if you come and try and say they're overrated by people like me and Steven, not in a sales way, their rhymes deserve all the praise they get. Seriously. You go listen to their two albums and tell me you weren't impressed at least once. I'm not a Stan, I don't even defend Eminem this much but damn. Rhyme Asylum deserve any and all credit they get in this miniscule sea of non-ignorant fucks.

I think Rhyme Asylum is boring. And their rhymes seem way too forced. And I can't get past the accent. Considering I just don't really like them at all, I would say they are overrated.

Sure, they're good at writing horrorcore stuff, but it seems way too forced. On one end I'm impressed. On the other, I just don't think they have the good of a flow / They just don't have a good voice/sound.

Besides that, I think that Mac Miller is pretty overrated, but he's not exactly underground any more.

You're saying they have bad flow because K Block did. XRay aka Sajjad has the best flow on this site and he can deal with them. Someone who idolizes Prodigy can be the judge of whether it flows.
