The Overrated Rapper Thread

[Relapse.LP]

Name one rapper you think is overrated.

Next person will put his thoughts on the rapper stated by the previous poster and post his own "overrated" rapper.

Keeps going in that fashion. Will be interesting if you guys participate.

EDIT: I'll go first: Royce da 5'9"

Got good story-telling skills, but his delivery just puts me off at times. Too British for my taste.

@ macdaddy, admit it: you only know Royce because of Eminem.

Lil wayne

If you guys think Lil Wayne is overrated, you guys are tripping.

Apparently, he's one of the rappers that get the most hate nowadays so I don't call that "over"rated.

^ Still two great artists though.

Both 2Pac and Biggie were at their prime before their deaths. 2Pac had just released a 4x Platinum album while he was still alive and was close to releasing a new album straightaway. He had 3 films coming up. Biggie was taking a bit of a break after Ready To Die but during the East Coast/West Coast beef he was still everywhere. Yes, their deaths did make them even more famous, but no doubt they were already. I'm talking success/famous wise since that's what you mentioned.

Rakim...lol jk uhhh I'll say Jay-Z...his lyrics are pretty mediocre and so what if he doesn't write down his lyrics...so he memorizes shitty lyrics...big whoopi goldberg

[LilWayne4Life]

I think before someone have the nerves to call someone overrated, first try and listen to his real music he puts out for his hardcore underground fans. most of you people only hear wayne's mainstream 10 top best club songs and judge his career as a whole just based on that. if any of you want to get technical, wayne is one of the most underrtated underground rappers, most people only hear what they want to hear from him and that's mostly mainstream pop shit. go and listen to any of these mixtapes or albums and im 95% sure you will change your opinion about the dude.

And that's just a few, wayne is one of the sickkest rappers to ever do it. he doesn't get much appreciation b/c of ignorant people like most of you here that only talks down on a person when he feels and his fans feel his the best. get the fuckk outta here you lames. overrated = Eminem

Why don't you wear that hat that Wayne threw out to you in the concert, that you wear every night singing "And I-I-I-I-I will alwaysss love you-hoo" while jackin off playing "Doctor Carter" and dreaming one day, maybe one day...you can play doctor Carter with Dwayne himself
