Underrated:Six Street Lil' MacPipe da SnipeYG HootieThe D.O.C. (after the incident, people like his shit from before that)Obie Trice's last album Overrated:Jay-ZRakim (good rapper, but not the greatest like a lot of people say)KRS-OneDon't know if any of them are still active tho'.
I don't agree with Cole, Kendrick, Meek Mill or Game being overrated and I feel they deserve their spots, however if someone feels the opposite I'm not mad at them and I could understand whyOverrated:Drake - drops at most a handful of decent songs a year with the rest being ghost-written trash for the masses to be brainwashed by, but he does pay homage to some legends that others don't so he maintains some respect and integrityFuture - I actually fucked with some of his music from 2012-2013 before a million other people hopped on the bandwagon, still like a few songs here and there but he's redundant nowYoung Thug - this dude has been and always will be trash, and he's a blatant faggot yet somehow he gets a pass from peopleTory Lanez - I do like him on some features and he can actually RAP but I can't vibe to any project of his, too much autotune when it's not necessary and lack of directionPost Malone - I saw him at SXSW way before he blew up and outside of 2 songs I never fucked with him like that, basically just a white version of the dudes named above combined Kanye West - his first 3 albums and MBDTF will always be great but I don't see what others do in him nowadays, to me he's lost it almost completely especially since he doesn't even produce anymore and arguably doesn't even write his raps, so what is it that he does where he deserves credit? DJ Khaled puts together better joints these days lolWiz Khalifa - still releases some cool material but also a lot of trash that leaves you wondering what has he thinking, he needs to go back to the basics of what got him where he isUnderrated:Freddie Gibbs - should be at the same level as Kendrick or Cole or bare minimum Meek Mill's level as far as being a 'street' rapperBig K.R.I.T. - he's gotten his shine but not nearly what he truly deserves, once again deserves to be right at the same level if not higher than J. Cole since he raps and producesCurren$y - on the low he was the most consistent artist of 2016, dropped 12 projects and all were quality products Pusha T - always delivers greatness and he's gotten his props but he also has made some hits that didn't get the proper push to have more people talk about himTech N9ne - obviously a legend at this point and well off, but the man deserves some awards by now Z-RO - if he had proper management, wasn't in/out of jail in the past and didn't get blackballed he would be pretty much in the same space as Kevin Gates right now, who is also dopeSpodee - if T.I. wasn't a selfish diva he would have pushed this guy and he would have blown up years ago for sure... he knows how to put together songs well and is passionate about his craft I could go on and on for both categories lol

The reason for that is that I haven't actually heard anyone say ''Yo Future/Young Thug is a good, quality rapper''. People (or misguided teens I should say) listen to them because it's dumb music that doesn't require a lot of thinking on the listener's behalf. No reputable source actually states that the new Young Thug album is going to give This and That legend a run for their money like they do for J. Cole for example. I do agree, however, that YT is garbage and Future is a hit and miss for making songs someone can chill to. I agree with your Underrated list minus Freddie Gibbs (as in I think he gets plenty of recognition, especially for his last two albums). No idea who Spodee is, so minus him, too.
I never said he was dope u a damn lie. he was average as fuck then and now. my nigga dope boy ra ra is up next though.
he dope but not the best outta atlanta.

I've literally heard people try to justify Young Thug in real life and claim "he's not all that bad, he has potential, just give him time..." and I just never wasted my time on that argument lol but I do see your point Quote from: Black Excellence on January 03, 2017, 07:28:13 PMI never said he was dope u a damn lie. he was average as fuck then and now. my nigga dope boy ra ra is up next though.oh really?Quote from: Black Excellence on January 19, 2015, 02:45:18 PMhe dope but not the best outta atlanta.
