I don't think anyone of you understand what underrated means lol. How can Obie be underrated? he had his run, he sold his records, his album was dope and every shady fan heard it. Lupe? there was a time he was MAD overrated so hell fucking no that guy isn't underrated. Big L is no where near underrated, every hip hop fan has heard him. Canibus, I think everyone knows about him on the net. Ras Kass, I agree you don't hear much Ras Kass ass kissers. Luda? his popular as fuck, how can he be underrated? Royce no where near underrated, if anything its overrated. Vinnie Paz isn't underrated either.

Anyways, you wanna know who actually IS underrated? Afu-Ra. Listen to 'Body of the Life Force' and just see how insane this guy is lyrically. His got an awesome flow, and the beats on that album are top notch, I mean DJ Premier produced 4 tracks and DJ Muggs produced one also, and that surely should be enough for you to check it out. M.O.P, Masta Killa, GZA are guest appearances so you definitely should check that album out.

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

Underrated is when someone deserves more credit than they get, and when they are better than most people think they are. So how can someone like Ludacris not be able to be underated? A lot of people don't realize that he's pretty dope lyrically and has some of the best punchlines in the game. Sure, people know who he is, but some don't think of him as highly as they should.

Pretty much, yeah. Underrated in the sense of being underrated in the Hip Hop industry. Ofcourse alot of Hip Hop fans know these artists and acknowledge their skills and talents, but these artists do not get the credit they deserve in the Hip Hop industry. Lupe's The Cool went only Gold, while it should have went Platinum.

And then you got the artists that are pretty much unkown and should get more buzz than they have. So, Xray, your right and we're right. We are just looking at it from a different angle.
