most of mainstream is overrated

50 cents

if your mainstream your overrated, since hiphop isn't supposed to appeal to the majority of people. Generally if your making mainstream music its not even real hip hop.

Any One Main Stream...With The Execption
Of Kayne West And A Very Few Others...

Luda... never liked the kid... ever... yet he gets tons of air-play and video time for some reason... all his songs sound the exact same to me...

Eminem gets way to much credit, but he earned the attention...

50 Cent... ^^^^ gets attention because he rolls with the "white" god of rap Eminem... not to say he's not good. But he doesn't drop hotter shit then the LOX and they get 1/10 the airplay...

Jay-Z... he's def dropped a string of hot songs from his various albums... but he def aint goin down greatest of all time...

Nelly... aint feeln nothing from him since his first drop... don't got no problem with the sing-song style... I actually can vibe to it once in awhile,,, but he's to commercial now...

MOST OVERRATED FREEWAY... damn he's garbage... nuff said

eminem, period (.)

50 Cent

^^^^^^^^^
true dat homie

people that say jay z is overrated has not listen to all his albums
he doesn't go platinum consistently...for just about all his cds for no reason..but then again that doesn't prove anything cus their are a lot of overrated artist that go platinum too.
well in my opinion jay is def. not overrated...he delivery and flow is sick....

no...you wanna talk about overrated
nelly...i dont hate him...just think he's overrated
ja rule...i DO hate him and he's overrated
not gonna say he's overrated just overhyped especially this year
his album had good productions thats why it sold so well
Dre laced his shit and it really put him on the map..

OVERRATED: superficial verses (stunt 101, damn, anything on MTV n BET, etc.) is old and dead. How many times can one boast about themselves for 4 minute incriments, 17 times (average album)?

OVERRATED: Moronic cats, who try to be intelligent in verses when they have no clue to damn of what they're saying. Also, wannabe backpackers. YES UNDERGROUND IS COOL, BUT YOU SURELY ARE NOT...

jay-z overrated bastard who creates too much hype.

aesop is only overrated because he's the most recognized MC off mainstream. he is overrated to you common-commercial folk. given, bazooka tooth had some of the most terrible beats known to man, some of the lyrics were decent. overall this isn't my fav album from aesop. people try to listen to him to be "underground' but fact of the matter is he's not the easiest to hear.

Jay is far from overated, when he can have everybody from Ghostface to fucking Justin Timberlake saying he dope, then thats what he is. And the shit is Justin don't understand 99% of his dope ass punchlines, and Ghostface skips past the songs Timberlake loves, so he getting love from two polar opposites.

Nas is overated
Juelz is overated
Cam and the rest of Dip Set
50

Eminem aint overated. He deserves to be where he's at today. At least he aint talkin all that gangsta shit like many others rappers still are. But I aint gonna mention any names...*cough*50 Cent*cough*

AESOP ROCK! thats all i need to say about him.

Chingy Is Tha Most Overrated To Me. . He's Jus Garbage. . What Pisses Me Off Tha Most About His Ass Is That He Went Fuckin Platinum And God Damn Gangstarr Released One Of The Best, If Not THE Best CD This Year N Ain't Even Go Gold I Don't Think.

Others:

50 Cent : Ain't Nuthin Wrong With Him, Lyrically He's Ok, Specially On His Old Stuff. . He's Jus Tryna Make Paper N I Don't Like The Songs He's Doin It Wit.

Nelly : . . Tha Fuck Is A Nelly Anyway? Country Grammar Was Hot, Can't Many Sit Here N Say That They Won't Feelin The Shit Cause Everybody Was Bumpin' It. . I Hate Fucks When They In Denial And Shit .

Jay-Z And Overrated Don't Go Together. .

Examples: Brooklyns Finest, Can't Know The Hustle, Dead Prez II, My First Song, The Threat, Lucifer, Renegades, Never Change, Plus More. .

Jay Is Dope. . 'Nuff Said. . Ya'll Jus Put Him On The List Cause He Created A Helluva Lotta Hype This Year And Made Paper.

-Formula.

who tha fuck is Aesop Rock anyway?People here act like he jesus.

yea 50 over rated, and jin

omg jin is not over-rated.....he is skilled

very talented lad!

his song speak chinese, makes no sense, he can flow but maybe
he shoulda called it something else

true....

a agree...

he shud really stick to freestyle battles....{where you have to admit he is amazing}

I think Da Vinci was an overated artist, he was not known for his stunning art, but for his scientific mind....

My faverout artist would have to be, Van Gogh....

N-Demik.

most of mainstream...

canibus...especially on this site. everybody think he's da fuckin shit...he SUCKS DICK for all you canibus dickridin ass muh'fuckaz....

2pac

big tymers.

yeah i agree bout wut u said bout eminem
but 50 raps bout shit that he actually experinced unlike sum rappers such as ja rule and gay-z

^^^^
true dat homie
"i aint your 50 cent,i aint your eminem,i aint your jigga man,im a china man
stupidist ryme ever
WOW he's a china man BIG FUCKING DEAL

Jay-Z has way to many Dick Riders. Nas is a little, even though I am a fan of his. And worst of all. G-Unit, there wack... Cmon Now

... Oh and also, Biggie is the worst of all. How can people understand his fat ass, sounds to me he ate the mics. and realist, I know you don believe tu-pac is over-rated. I know you dont... No No No

just about every single commercial rapper is overrated. but by far the most overrated would be;

-eminem
-50 Cent
-ja rule
-Nelly
and Ludacris.

but if u notice all of them started out hella tight and turned into overrated garbage. once they gain fame thats all they care about.

why the fuck are you cats hating? Damn these cats all earned the hype they got surrounding them. If I like them or not making it in the rap game aint exactly easy kids.

Eminem is pretty overrated. He used to have some nice skills, but hes pretty average these days. I actually saw a thread in another site where some kid said "Rakim sucks, Eminem is way better than him"

50 Cent is overrated by mainstream-only fans. Anyone who listens to any rap besides mainstream will know that 50 isnt all that. The most common excuse ive seen is "his beats are tight"... the problem is 50 has nothing to do with the beats

...50 Cent - "I Love You Like A Fat Kid Love Cake"...Best Meta He Can Probably Think Of...Lol...

How peeps can say Biggie 'n even Pac are/were overated is fuckin beyond me... Two different styles that made most artists up their own game... not to mention the classics they dropped themselves...
They're overated in the sense that all bubblegum/50 rap fans d/r their shit, but damn....still unmatched.....
Nas also...practically every album's been quality in my eyes...

50 Cent - Most overated by far...
G-Unit/Obie Trice - Them too...
Jay Z - Personally I think he's wack...

As said...most mainstream artists I guess....

..50 cent..

almost every emcee in the commercial pop genre

JA RULE IS THE MOST OVERRATTED RAPPER AND SO IS THE G-UNIT

G-UNIT HAS SOME GOOD TONES BUT THEY ARE OVERRATTED

2-Pack

i think splitsoul is the most overrated rapper in the business, that muh fuckah gets way to much attention, hes a fuckin pretentious prick, i hate that fag...

dickhead...
