I dont think X is overrated at all. Matter of fact, I think he's underrated. Yeah, his rhyme structure is often kinda basic, but that man's got delivery and just so much energy in his songs. His shit always gets me pumped up. :y:

I thin he's pretty dope, and overshadowed by his beef with G-Unit. He always got the best beats, and rhymes better than expected for a gangsta rapper.

Busta Rhymes is sorta overrated. I've seen him many times in top 30 lists at least and I just think he isn't anything special to be up there.

I actually think DMX is overrated for the fact that he isn't everywhere. Yeah he had quite some number 1 albums but he isn't as widely known and people don't discuss his music as much.

You mean, underrated right?

Yeah yeah :sweating:

Don't know much about Busta but his older stuff was better than his stuff in the past..4 years. B.O.M.B.S. was moving in the right direction. Lots of people consider him a juggernaut but I don't see it.

He's very overrated, IMO. Bad lyrics and production.

Underrated, he's the person I think of when people pose the question "but what if Em was black?" His subject matter can be iffy at times but he's a talented emcee if you ask me.

I've listened to numerous songs by all of them actually. Moreso Canibus than the other two because listening to his attempts write/rap is pretty fucking hilarious, as well as reading comments from his idiotic dickriders (like yourself).

Lmao @ you thinking I dickride Canibus.

I'm not even his fan. I just know he got some good punchlines.

On the other hand, you just seem like a confused Eminem Stan, so go back to worshiping him.

Oh look, another alternate account from da.relapse.lp. And yes, Canibus is that bad.

My top 5 would be Eminem, Jay-Z, Big L, then...Tupac, Nas, or Big Pun I guess. Never gave it much thought.
