Biggie def went too soon but he's dope as hell. That flow, delivery and how he words shyt.
What deceased rappers became “overrated”?
- Thread starter Citi Trends
- Start date
He was already in it before he died..
Pac on the other hand never heard anyone call him great when he was alive

Pass me the rock nikka
You bugging P was talked aboutBeing honest, the two that came to mind were Sean Price and Prodigy
Not saying that either wasn’t dope (because both were dope) but I heard from and saw people that would never mention either in a conversation until they passed away
There is no record of anyone, any hip hop media house, any hip hop journalist or any hip hop publication ever referring to 2Pac as a 'great rapper' or among the greats at any point before he died. Yet we supposed to believe revisionist children born in 1995 that pac was great. Most overrated rapper ever, especially after death.

Another thing thats overrated is Pac and Biggie being "prophets". Especially Pac. he spent a lot of time thinking about death, and inviting that energy into his life.If we're being 100% honest....all of them. Overrated just has an immediate negative connotation to most people but, to what the word really means, death added to the fame and renown of all of these dudes. That's not meant to denigrate the quality of their music, I'm just talking generally. I'll take the negs if cats feel it's necessary

Yeah the prophet shyt was ridiculous. Any active gangster out on the streets could reasonably predict that he might die soon. That doesn’t make them fukking prophets. I was a Pac fan, but people really went over the top with their praise for him. Honestly, he was kind of an ignorant nikka in a lot of ways.

Anyone who had alot of soul in their music/producing is automatically disqualified from discussion.
That includes a majority of the Rappers/Producers mentioned in this thread.

To an extent I think everyone gets automatically rated higher after death. It’s weird. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It’s juat a human thing I think, to appreciate someone more after they’re gone.
But as far as rappers that have become overrated? Man...I gotta think on it. I saw someone say Sean price and prodigy. They’re 2 of my absolute favorites and prodigy was someone I looked up to even. But it is true that people weren’t speaking about them as some of the greatest ever until they died. But I thought people slept on them too.
Good thread.

See imo Dilla is still slept on as a rapper. Dilla rapping aggressively over hard drums? I don’t see how anyone can front on that.
