treach of naughty by nature. anyone disagree?
-
i definetely dont disagree...i would also have to add in slug from atmosphere though.
-
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.
-
nah back in the day naughty by nature was popular...but if you said treach ppl probably would've looked at you like "who??"...when treach is alone he is definetely underrated...i really hope he doesnt do anymore movies though lol...hes the worst actor ive ever seen
-
ras flow is ass. treach had the complete package. most only know him as the lead mc of naughty so yes i'd say hes the most underrated.
-
Yea I would agree with Treach.
& give honorable mention to GZA and INS Deck
-
yup i agree from the east he has to be the most overlooked hes got an krazy change of style from a bumpy track to that tribute to pac (mourn u till i join you)which is the best pac tribute ever
-
I'd have to say Guru, he doesn't get the love he should for droppin them sickass multies.
-
I dunno who the most underrated is, but Treach is a monster, he's been tight on everything I've ever heard of him, Naughty By Nature was tight stuff, Treach can flow.
-
By the way, Update: Him and Pepa got divorced. Din't last very long, lol.
-
Don't know about ever but...
Treach is underrated
Ras Kass is overrated
Gza/Genius, Inspectah Deck are rated reasonably
Slug you can't really say
And Guru I can't really tell, maybe a little overrated
Now an underrated MC is someone like Posdnuos.
-
gift of gab is underrated too but my point is that no one is an as well rounded mc as treach that never gets mentioned in a top mc discussion or list.
as for guru i've always thought he was overrated..and yes i own all of the gangstarr albums and even his jazzmatazz projects..

:o :o you're joking right?

Hallelujia brother, preach on

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.

1. B-Real (Cypress Hill)
2. Treach (Naughty By Nature)

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

ras flow is horrible. its up there with cormega.

i agree...sometimes he comes dope...but in general (i wouldnt say horrible) but he really isnt anything special...lyrically though he is tight as hell

Way overated
like Guru
Gza/Genius, Inspectah Deck are rated reasonably
