Complex Mag: The 50 most slept on rappers of all-time

[DaveyDave]

How the fukk is Tech n9ne slept on? Dude is fukking indie selling like a major rapper.
And Big Pun dropping 1 nice album, which sold 2 million fukking copies is slept on ha?

The worst thing is that 2 dudes from the same era, Big L and Big Pun, both generally considered equally dope. Pun was successful, Big L was not and yet Pun is #2 and Big L is not on the list.

Tech is still slept on because cats hate on him for the face paint or because he is affiliated with the Juggalos. they assume he makes the same kind of music as ICP. probably shoudn't be #1 on the list tho because he is well known and getting more popular everyday, especially since this year.

Well perhaps..

 

[THE K-MAN]

GROUP HOME @ 15

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

The list has no credibility without Aceyalone or Murs on it.

@Group Home being on the list.

I assume they think L, AZ, Treach and Rass Kass arent slept on and from that aspect, I guess they shouldnt be on the list...but its a weird ass list to argue about if you think about it.

 

[Danie84]

Clearly, the make these bonker lists to get a rise out of us.

Yeah, that bugged me too --- how is a cat who is universally regarded as one of the better MC's of his era, and had multiple records that went plat, considered underrated?

Pharaohe Monch was the right selection there. Was he even on the list?

Should be on the list:

 

[Monoblock]

Group Home?????? Killarmy???????

Where the fukk is AZ? Weirdest ass list I've ever seen.

What's a mainstream hypebeast blogger know about under the radar hip hop

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

Boosie better than most of them nikkas on there

I don't get this list. You have Sheek, Bleek and some garbage other region rappers on there. Group Home? They were horrible rappers. Big pun is slept on?

You have Tragedy, Mega, Nature, but no AZ. Juju and Starang Wondah as a soloists but Tash as a member of The Alkaholiks, same for Killa Sin. No Sticky Fingaz, Treach, Killer Mike, Rock. Masta Killia put out 2 GREAT albums and not on the list. You have Peedi, who's not really a great rapper, especially when he goes into the blackarican rap, but no Black Thought, B Mac or Freeway. And where's Scarface or G Rap, as they are still consistently putting out great music? And what about Slaughterhouse as solo artists? Royce 5'9, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz...hell Eastwood.

Let's see..one, Mega stopped taking shots at Nas after The Realness, The War Report came out in '97, Group Home can't rap, Casual, Bleek & Sheek are eh....

 

[Reggie]

Should be on the list:

Why can't the world be fair and one of these rappers that have beat numerous charges switch places with Mac. This cat was poised to do big things and now has missed his prime of his career. Is he in jail for life?

OC is the definition of an underrated MC. Plus he got at least one classic album...
