underrated rapper of all time tray deeeeeee
how slept on is this guy watever he does is heat even know the anti war songs he rips it
i think this rapper should get some respect for his rappin
-
He is very underrated....alongside so many other quality artists,
its sad but i think now with more freedom over the internet to "sample" artists and recognise a wider scope of music...as well as boards like this...
...people will become more prominent, more people will be heard.
Thats the ideal anyway :)

Yeah, Tray Deee's defo under rated.
-
Royce Da 5'9" IMO
-

not really.. i think all dpgc artists is pretty overrated
but tray dee is dope.. thats fo sure :)
-
depends on how you see it.
you can say tech n9ne is underrated because no regular person knows him (besides of bustaz in kansas city)
you can also say ja rule is underrated lmao because almost noone who likes rap music most likes him. it's the j lo fans listening to him :)
so fuck it lol
overall I'd say Big L tho
-
When it comes to Fame + Talent balance...
no Mc's are more underated for their skillz + ability than:
Tha Liks
Ras Kass
Canibus
Dj Quik
That bunch right there is better lyricaly and voice wise than any of the top 4 rapper's/crew out today easily.
If Talent were Fame, those three mentioned should be in the same name list as Mtv's/media's fake rating system.
ImO..
The top crop in hip-hop can't touch any of the above.

id add e-white to that list also goldie
-
Ras Kass hands down, but hopefully not for much longer.
-
In a couple of years it will be DV Alias Khrist, he hasn't released an album yet though, so thats why. At one point he was signed to Def Jam but for some reason they dropped him (dunno why, he could've blown up on tha label). Now he's on Bear Mountain Records (Maseo's label) so i don't think he will have a chance of blowing up while on there :(.

Dj quik.

Underrated: Royce Da 5'9" & Havoc
Overrated: Canibus & Ras Kass (can't get their act together and make a really dope album)
-
In the early days I would have said that Bad Azz is one of the most underrated rappers, but I won't do this now. There are just to many really dope rappers out in Cali that deserve that title. Just take a look at rapper like Tray Deee, Bad Azz or one of my favourite rappers Lil Chill.
-
King T - most slept on of all time. he's one of the greatest ever, and most people don't even know who he is.

Well it depend how u are defining over-rated, if u are talking about ppl on the net then yeh u could say Ras and Bus are over-rated.
If u are talking about real life then NO WAY, Soul on ice which imo is the best lyrical album ever sold 60,000 worldwide. Rasassination barley scraped 100,000, over-rated rappers don't achieve these kind of sales.
Same goes with Canibus, 2000BC and mic club are 2 dope album and both sold wak.
-

Hell yeah...can't belive I forgot. Shit, Knoc and Dresta....both under rated as hell.

I would call that being slept-on not underrated. I used those two terms differently.
-
i'd say Krazy from no limit, his breathier life CD was tighhtt,
um south park mexican was pretty underrated before his legal issues
TQ is starting to come up but was definately underrated
Z-Ro is pretty tight
also underground cat by the name of Andre Nicktina, good shit, hoping to see him come up in the game, i know there is hella more but can't think of them at this time
-
Kam
Ras Kass
Techniec
MC Ren
King T
-
I could name 20 rappers, but if you mention Tray Deee, you must also mention..
<<<<--- Goldie Loc, equal to Tray Deee, and some times even better.
-
Goldie's really improved. My favorite verse of his is from "Nightmares".
-
DJ Quik. Also probably the most underrated producer, yet even some people who love his production overlook his raps.
Above The Law.
Ras Kass.
Chico & Coolwadda. What like 5 people bought their album? A verrry talented group, shame they get so slept on.
-
Damn, I was gonna drop my 2 cents, but ya'll covered every single underrated artist :)
On the real, it's sad how many of these peeps don't get much cred.
-
traydee is one
also: daz, WC, dj quik and warren g
-

Ras, Immortal Technique and Tray Deee are prolly the most underrated rappers. Warren and Quik get my votes for most underrated producers. It's a shame.
-
DJ Quik (The Most underrated rapper/producer in my opinion)
Goldie Loc (I think that he's a tight rapper but some people don't like him)
Chicano Rap Artists (Such as Mr. Lil One, Mr. Shadow, Lil Rob, Jay Tee, Baby Beesh, etc. Some people don't even acknowledge chicano rap)
-
i would say kokane and def royce da 5'9
