I didnt know there were so many hip hop heads on this forum so since the last post of Best Lyricist did well I guess we needed this one too because there were some serious debates on who was overrated & over saturated on the airwaves.

So this isn't about just lyrical or just MC'ing just overall who do YOU think is under/over rated?

IMO

Overrated - Lil Wayne

Overrated
Current Jay Z
Anything Kanye does
Uncle Murder
Jim Jones (if I hear someone else say "what about Jim's swagger?", I'm going to punch them in the face)
Ludacris
Young Jeezy
All the crap coming from the south (Boosie et al), particularly any artist that Khalid is putting out
Black Thought

I agree with this list, except the bolded. When was the last time you've heard anyone mention him?
Max B is also greatly overrated he seems to have a show a week in Hartford alone, and last time I was in Harlem every car that passed by was playing him, not sure how he gotten so popular in the Tri state area.

Jay Z and Eminen are the most overrated by far.

Eminem is probably one of the last few good 'discovered' artists out there. I mean, back in the day bands got discovered all the time. Nowadays it's easier just to force feed shit to people.

I find it funny that some of the most original and -- I hate to say it -- influential artists nowadays are in rap.
