whats the key word in the thread title??Niggas in this thread must be hitting the pipe... Smh lol! It's been a while since I've heard so much blasphemy. Tupac overrated....
Many of my favorite hip hop records?
Are from so called one hit wonders.
Either single or album.
And if the general public truly understood just how damn hard it is to actually craft a hit record
They would appreciate the artists and culture much more.

LL Cool J is wack... typical New York false bravado (with unbelievable aggression). Granted I am from the West Coast; so maybe I just don't get it/him. I have one LL Cool J cut, and it's an instrumental.
Note: I'm not insulting New York. Biggie is my favorite rapper ever.
P.S.
On "Flava In Ya Ear" his verse was corny.

this sounds personal.....what he do....fuck your girl????
I don't think he sucked....but he's definitely overrated.
Man. I think you know nothing about music.ahem......
that drunken style was
ODB isn't the best rapper but he is not like Missy.

Yeah some are taking it a bit too far boarded lining on extreme.
There's a fine line saying some is overrated in general or overrated because you don't particularly like it.
Most in this thread don't particularly like or get a particular artist so they think that the artist is overrated.
If millions of people like something and you don't, it's probably not the something that's wack.
really....let a female rapper do his drunken style....how well would that go over???
Nothing personal at all... He's just one of those rappers that just didn't seem genuine to me. It seems like he's trying hard to be hard.this sounds personal.....what he do....fuck your girl????
I have a playlist of all Biggie, Grand Daddy I.U., and others; but LL just doesn't cut the mustard to me.
I’ve always thought Lil Wayne was wack. For some reason he just never did it for me.
Other than Scarface, Will Smith is the greatest story-teller whoever did it.
It doesn’t sit well with me that Ms. Melodie doesn’t get the credit she deserves.
Kid Capri isn’t as good as he thinks he is. DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Cash Money, and Scram Jones can run rings around him on the turn tables.
Lyrically, Ghostface is heads and shoulders above everyone else in the Wu-Tang Clan.

For storytelling, I'd go Ice Cube and Biggie. These were very vivid storytellers to me.
PM Dawn is way dope. Ahead of their time. KRS 1 was a whole bitch for his beef with them.
Bruh I'm not a big Jay-Z fan but I'm not gonna say he's overrated though.. Lolwhats the key word in the thread title??
Just because Biggie ain't record Brenda's having a baby and dear momma doesn't mean he wasn't equally introspective heartfelt vulnerable in his music.
when he wasn't name checking apparel brands, likkers and guns and car models.....c'mon homie most of biggies raps was just rhyme listing shit. and thats when he wasn't talking about drug dealing, misogynic shit or committing violence on someone..
kicked in the door wavin the 44 all u hear was poppa dont hit me no more....
I stay Coogi down to the socks Rings and watch filled with rocks (uh) And my jam knock in the Mitsubishi
LOL, But the title read:

I was not aware that I was limited to only voice opinions about music, of course we can ask the author of the thread?

Yo, LL came to my Junior High School & my homies girl threw her panties on stage for LL, my boy has hated him ever since…it’s been damn near 35 years & he still calls him “Bitch Ass James”.
Sometimes you just have to see why other people like it.
It's pretty common for a wedding client to send me a playlist full of wack music. When they're paying you enough to pay your rent in a single night you learn how to like it. At least until the check clears
for the record...DEBBIE HARRY had a hit song where she rapped..
according to that logic.....she's a rapper....anyone agree with that????
Yes. She's just not very good at it
He was good beoe he got on death row then his quality dropped because at that point all he did was rhyme " Hennessy"and "enemies " a thousand times over.
Fair point.
Either way death row Tupac was a sellout and a shell of his former self.
"Shell of his former self"..... You are Michael Jordan of Bad Takes......more bad takes than Skip Bayless
You be like:
That is actually a very popular opinion
Will smith a better story teller than Nas or Ghostface???
All double disc hip-hop albums should have been one disc with those filler tracks removed.
OutKast was wack after Aquemini.
Jay-z got lucky DMX was a crackhead and poor businessman.
I wasn’t a fan of southern rap after 1999, especially all those ATL artist.
I don’t know what the fuck DJ Screw had y’all Texas and midwestern kats on but it explains a lot.
Biggie got the GAYEST line in hip-hop.
Ice Cube >>> Tupac
There is not a single rapper ever out of Florida I take seriously.
Missy Elliot >>> Lauren Hill
Juvenile is the best rapper out of NO.
Gangsta Boo is a highly underrated female rapper.

Considering the state of music today, I’m going to have to disagree with this. However, I understand completely where you are coming from. But society have lowered its standards.
I have conflicted my dislike for something as being wack. I already have an “anti-popular” attitude so I dismiss a lot of shit off gate.
But I can’t co-sign mumble rap as great because it’s popular today.
What's crazy is he has like 3-6 arguably classic mixtapes but not a single classic album in his catalog. Heck he's had 2 classic mixtape series but hasn't made single studio album that was more than passable.
People forget how quick and fast her stardom came. No other female artist hit that stardom as fast as she did during that time.
Aaliyah was next but that got cut short, unfortunately. I’m still curious to know what her career would have been like. She was because more sensual/sexual and entering into Hollywood.
Ice Cube
