Kurupt produced like 3 (so much style, never leave me alone, etc.) tracks wtf how can he be underrated lmao.

Define underrated though, are we talking largely ignored by the mainstream (makes sense if we're talking about producers) or by the industry (dope producers with a solid catalog but who often go unnoticed), my definition is closer to the latter.

a lot of these producers are either considered either 1) legendary (no id, buckwild, showbiz) 2) go-to producers with solid résumés (bink, nottz, dj toomp) 3) superproducers (statik selektah), i don't think the term "overlooked" applies to them

How are Statik Selektah or Alchemist underrated? Nobody who really knows about Hip Hop would question their contributions.

No doubt on Nottz, I never hear that dude getting talked about but he always seems to come correct.
