jay - z
50 cent for sure
Ja Rule (When he first came out)

50 Cent is the most overrated rapper of all time... Ja Rule atleast had some tight songs on his first album and some deep shit... he fell off thou but 50 Cent is only getting worse... Snoop Dogg is overrated now, back in the day he had the sickest flow thou... Jay-Z is kind of overrated but i think he's a good rapper thou...

Lloyd Banks - I don't see what distinguishes him from any other rapper. Boring flow, monotonous voice, no charisma, some hot lines but overrated.

damn this topic has been discussed endlessly on this forum! But i would say some of the most over rated rappers are E-40, The ones already mentioned, LL cool J, and Juvenille. They all suck, yet many people think thy're great

G-Unit
Eminem
Jay Z(even though he's tight)
Snoop Dogg(why he's the main west coast rapper people outside of the west work with is beyond me)

Here's a few that are over-rated.

Ludacris - I really see no talent and his southern speech seems like he fakes it. Wack!!!
50 Cent -May speak real, but so do a lot of cats. Yet to be blown away with lyrics to fill the massive attention he seems to receive

Jay Z is far too over-rated now. He had talent at one point (Reasonable Doubt era) but not now. Everyone seems to praise his "YIP", "Young Hov", "R-O-C" etc. speech and claims he's a trendsetter in both fashion and music. Ever since I've moved to the UK I've watched a channel called mtv europe uk, which has tha lick tv show. Now the presenter is a guy called Trevor Nelson. He praises Jay Z too much and uk radio fag Westwood thinks Jay Z is the hottest rapper today (if not, 50 cent)

I miss home for it's variety but I'm telling you - come to UK and there's none!

Post by: NobodyButMe on January 30, 2004, 10:43:22 AM
def. 50 cent. i never really understood why jay z was considered that dope either. some people i just don't understand why they're hot. when 50 first came out he was shit. no one paid any attention. but now that he's got dre and em, he's hot.

Post by: Nightfall on January 30, 2004, 03:56:26 PM
^^nah too short is great at those "fuck a hoe","pimp" songs

he is, but not because of his skills, its the subject matter and production

Well I never heard anybody in my life praising G Unit.. they make good music and that's it.

If u respect Too Short, E4o and Others because they are "West Coast Legends" I dont see why y'all hate on Snoop

^^^Ras Kass is overrated and The Game ain't?

G-Unit are aight but overrated, same for 50
The Game IS kinda overrated IMO
Too $hort's overrated as an MC, but he makes dope songs

^yea i agree wit all cept for Yuk, Yuk is tight, he got a sick flow... Kanye West i never praised him as a rapper but i don't look @ him as a rapper, i always think of him just from a producing stand point and definitley as a producer he's not overrated cuz he's comin' out wit some of the hottest beats right now... as a rapper he's aiight but nuthing special... now if he blows up as rapper and ppl start talkin' bout how tight he is on the mic than he'll be overrated... errr... as 4 Lloyd Banks yea, he is mad boring... he got some sick lines that's why i like him but he has no charisma, no emotion at all in his raps, it's like a fuckin' zombie on the mic... G-Unit is mad overrated... I still like Lloyd Banks but i never really bump his shit honestly i just like some of his punches that's about it... and yes alot of west coast rappers are overrated but that goes for every coast... the entire south is overrated cept for like 5 rappers... the rest are wack as fuck...

im trying to make a point ;)...i don't really think every westcoast artist is over-rated...but people on this thread are just putting down artists they hate(or are on the other side of the continent) and calling them overrated

yeah, but if u hate (listening to) an artist it's only logical u call him overrated...and several members on here bein kinda biased is obvious, but it's the West Coast Connection forum, so unless sumbody drops real ignorant statements u can't really complain IMO

there's far more than 5. What's been gettin airplay lately is that crunk shit which is mostly low quality as for lyrics. Lil Jon, Bonecrusher, Chingy (IF u cpnsider that south), they might be overrated, but they only represent one southern style

Outkast, Goodie Mob, David Banner, Scarface, Dungeon Family, Cunninlynguists, 8ball...I wouldn't say they wack
