Pretty good list, imo.  I can't hardly argue with those.

On Crooked:

2. Crooked I

''I think he’s been one for a long time. Maybe he’s about to get his just due with Slaughterhouse. On that ‘2.0 Boys,’ he murdered everybody, to me, with his rhyme schemes and how he was just flipping and rhyming everything. It was wonderful.

Crooked I has always been captivating, ever since I met him during the Wake Up Show, through Sway and King Tech. I think he’s way underrated. I think people should have heard him a long time ago and latched on to it. If he would have truly did the Death Row thing and had a fair run, he would have had a gang of fans.
I wish him the best of success with Slaughterhouse and I hope it puts him in a beautiful position because he deserves it. He should have millions of fans. He’s not just a rapper’s rapper. He can rap about shit.”


yeah and hes right about most of the list but to me it doesnt seem like Kool G Rap is underrated. Never heard anybody say somethin bad about him.

good list

[bouli77]

I wouldn't consider Crooked I & Pharoahe Monch underrated. I think he means they didn't meet commercial success. but both Crooked I & Pharoahe Monch are highly reverred by the critics and they both have a more or less important cult following.

underrated to me means someone who goes unnoticed by the mainstream media and who is reviled/ignored by hip-hop heads. people like K-Rino for example.

To me G Rap is more underappreciated more so then anything else. You don't have groups like Mobb Deep or MCs like a Big Pun without G Rap. He birthed a good portion of NYC hip hop that is still rocking today.

Really? Crooked I is ignored by most of the critics, possibly because most of them don't review freestyles.

That's a fair analysis. I agree with your K-Rino assessment. I'd also add Percee P to that example as well. Both are uber-talented MCs but so far under everyone's radar.

EDIT:

Another one I'd add to the K-Rino, Percee P category is Vakill.
