Nobody sits there and says Jay-Z doesn't have a bad song. Pac and Big have wack songs too, doesn't make them overrated. Everyone's got a handful of wack music. But between the four names that keep coming up, Jay, Eminem, Pac and Big, their overall bodies of work shits on literally 99% of the history of Hip Hop.
Coming from the guy who just made a thread calling "T.I. Vs. T.I.P." a classic. But I won't call T.I. dramatically overrated because MOST people don't come close to your opinion of him. Most accept he's just a dope little artist from the South. Anyway you have to be good enough for people to praise you in the first place in order to even be in this ridiculous "overrated" conversation.

''that dope little artist'' sold millions of records and is critically acclaimed so to some of y'all he is overrated. these cats opions don't count they listen to rappers based on who's co signin' them. t.i. came in the game wit no co sign: no dr. dre, no eminem, no wayne,etc. just skill and rose to the top and made muthafuckas pay attention. i bet you wouldn't have checked out eminem had dr. dre not co signed him.

Probably would have since The Marshall Mathers LP would be better than a T.I. greatest hits album.
Dre consigned Bishop Lamont...I don't even know if he's still alive.
"Touchdown" is probably the worst verse of his career during the worst part of his career. There's a reason why at the turn of the century T.I. didn't have anything of Eminem's shadow. Eminem and 50 didn't blow because of their Dre co-sign, they were just putting out a better brand of music than everyone else at the time...including young Clifford. Dre consigned Bishop Lamont...I don't even know if he's still alive.
Like I said and you quoted...Dre signed Bishop Lamont. Nothing became of it. Eminem is the biggest name in Hip Hop and cosigned Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater and Ca$his. Nothing. You need skill to get to that level.
