The most underrated and overrated in the West

[R-Tistic]

On the west coast, as far as lookin from an overall perspective, who do you think is most overrated and underrated, as far as rappers, producers, albums, and even impact. Who's impact do you think people may overrate/underrate? I hear some people sayin certain rappers are given too much credit, and some aren't given enough for what they've done.

[BL7]

Snoop is the most overrated, but that's beginning to change now. As for underrated, I'd say Bad Azz, Dr. Stank, Dirty Birdy etc....

I haven't heard much of Gonzoe (well since Kausion days) or Above the Law, and I don't think many people overrate Mack 10 anymore...but aside from that, I agree with you 110%.

DJ QUIK most underrated rapper / producer from the westcoast.

[West Coast Veteran]

In terms of impact and quality:

Underrated - The Pharcyde / They opened doors for all the non-gangsta rappers from the West Coast. After Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde dropped so many other groups and MC's that weren't gangsta rappers were getting signed eg. Freestyle Fellowship, Tha Alkaholiks, Souls Of Mischief, Anotha Level, etc. And their first two albums are classic.

Runner-up: DJ Quik

Overrated - Snoop Dogg / Well no one rates him highly anymore but still gets a lot of praise from the industry.

Underrated - The Pharcyde

S.G.V. Product!

I forget which one from The Pharcyde wrote and produced the single for Brian Austin Green, when he used to rap. That was actually tight.
