Depends on what you define as underrated as Ras Kass is considered to be one of the top 5 MC's of all time by alot of peeps in the rap music industry and knowledgable fans, yet by the majority of rap fans he is a nobody. So i'mma have to disagree and say Ras Kass, because Treach was quite popular back in the day.

hey i havent see you around before... nice.. avatar!

:o :o you're joking right?

He might be reasonably rated as a complex lyricist but he's overrated as an MC.  His voice, flow, delivery are all average and he doesn't really switch up rhymes patterns too much and play around with that like an Eminem or Rakim does.  Plus he's only released 2 albums, one is dope, one is okay, no classics and it looks like he'll never make one.

I can see what you're saying about Ras, but from some of the stuff he's done lately i think he's improved his flow and he does now switch styles to fit different beats now as well. I'm not saying he's now got a great flow or delivery but it has been improving. And his voice ain't as bad as Guru's.
Charlie, lost his life right in front of the party...

sorry man i gotta disagree i think Ras is rightly hailed as one of the best. He switches up his flow all the time, and he delivers amazingly. The only 2 rappers i like as much as Ras are Paris & Rakim

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Paris

ras flow is horrible. its up there with cormega.
I ain't little but vicious, guns no misses You feel me, kisses or wishes, fore I break you up like dishes Fuck your bosses, my forces, endorses To kill all your sources y'all niggas best be cautious No losses, my fortress, is Jaguars and Porsche's Ride the OTB to check my money on the horses My horrors is flawless, my block one of the broadest Off the main attraction for them whitey ass tourists That I tosses, it scorches, with out no remorses Leave they bloody body to be found in Mount Morris
