Title: Overated Albums
Post by: Machiavelli on January 17, 2005, 06:19:55 AM: Whats the most overated album(s) in hip-hop.

From the West Coast I have to say its:

Warreng G - Regulate...G Funk Era - Its a good album but very overated. People put this album on the same position as The Chronic or Doggystle but i dont think it can match up. This album had wonderful smooth beats and Regulate is one of the best songs ever but Lyrically this was just an average album.

From the East Coast I have to say its...

Nas - Illmatic - Its a good album and Nas is a very good rapper but many people consider this the best album ever but i dont think so.

I don't put it on the same position as Chronic or Doggystyle.

I put it above.

Overrated? All those Prophet said.

The Chronic is overrated. 2001 is overrated. Rhythm-al-ism is overrated. Uncle Sam's curse is overrated. Any Jay-Z. The new Twista. Any Outkast. Lots.

Just because so many people have bought it doesnt mean its overated. Sales are based on Marketing and shit. Most people after they buy the album think its sucks.

hell yeah!

Kanye West - College Dropout ("Jesus Walks", "Never Let Me Down", "Get Em High" are the only songs I really liked)

2Pac - All Eyez On Me (hella skippers/fillers on this one)

The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die (I never understood why people like this album, like 2-3 good songs)

Post by: Elevz on January 17, 2005, 02:20:43 PM: Jay-Z - The Black Album imo...

I don't think Nas - Illmatic, Biggie - Ready to die, 2Pac - All eyez on me or Kanye West - College dropout are overrated... I really LOVE all of those records. Kanye might be slightly overrated. I'll have to agree about the Chronic and 2001 though... They're fucking good cd's but it's not the greatest shit ever made.

Post by: Elevz on January 18, 2005, 03:16:50 AM: I'll have to agree about Stillmatic... I don't really see what makes it better than God's son. All are pretty dope albums, but I don't see why people are calling Stillmatic a (semi)classic.
