i think it was more noticeable by dre because that nikka went the furthest left field, probably other than ceelo but it wasnt hard 2 imagine ceelo going left field. Dre went from rocking kangols and shyt 2 turbans

Lol I was like 10 at the time but everybody was buying turbans. They were selling them shyts at the gas station here.

:laugh:

people are retards for admitting that rappers you like are overrated?

do you want us to discuss the socioeconomic effects of the shiny suit era on the black community and it's relation to the rise of suburban white teenage angst of the same time period?

We can do that but what does that have to do with the purpose of your post? Its an opinion ofcourse but saying those 2 are the most overrated is just not logical.

so, who would you propose as the two most overrated rappers ever?
Overrated? There's only 3 categories with me, Elite, good and wack.. I don’t sit around and rate emcees like that. Either you’re putting out good music and being a individual or following. One thing I know, L-Boogie and 3000 are not overrated because they are trend setters. Lauren Hill has like 3 classic albums including the unplugged joint and all of it is filled with great lyrical content as well as other aspects of life and music. 3000 has done it all from playa ish to abstract but has always been innovative and original in recreating himself. 3 classic albums for Outkast also. How can that be overrated? I don’t get into internet wars with cats that think their favorite artist is better than another but some things are just undeniable. To say artist like Hill, 3000, Nas, Jay, Pac. Biggie, Face is just hate/lies… Artist are still trying to reach those levels whatever they may be…

The answer is Eminem but out of these two its Andre. Lauryn is extremely overated too but calling her the best female rapper ever aint really that far-fetched based on the fact that it aint much to chose from

considering that Lauryn Hill barely rapped, and the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is an R&B album... and that Queen Latifah,Lady Of Rage, MC Lyte,Da Brat,Rah Digga,Missy, Eve,Mia X have dropped hotter shyt than Lauryn ever did.

L Boogie isn't the best female rapper from her state, wouldn't be on a Mt. Rushmore of Female Rappers...but folks call her the best female MC ever?:usure:


nothing of what you said even answered the question that was asked.

There are far more overrated rappers than them. Andre and Lauryn have the lyrical and technical abilities to back up claims of their greatness. There are plenty of other less talented MC's who are hyped up beyond their skill set.

Andre or Eminem


You are offbase listing eminem.
As eminem is the last actualized major label emcee in rap.

I know why Andre is listed and I agree with the Ts on Lauren and dre.
Imo, dre lives off the benefit of pr and overprocessing of la face.
Which probably existed because the point spread for kast was low as TLC and Toni.
So la face could afford to shell out more in marketing dollars and pr to achieve higher sales.
Than they really should have actually garnered skillwise.

Especially when you take into account they are the street biter version of son originally.
Plus are nowhere near as good of emcees are heiro's som originally were.
Did him and big boo ramp up,..yes, I give them credit for that.
Yet and still they existed for reasons past just skill originally.

Imo, I still feel Lauren hill did not write her rhymes in the fugee la period.

As they are also, lifts of nas. In the same vein as was fat joe to mic Geronimo.
Yet she is a female and the female rap game allows leeway the male rap game does not allow.
To the point the real female goat on a major bahamadia.
Is not significantly and rightfully propped.
Plus, we will never know what other female rapper were really great emcees.
As being a female rapper is based on faking jax, ghostwritten aesthetics and physical appearance.

As I know any 13, still to arguably be the best female emcee, ever.
To this day, I feel the Lauren and three thousand mythos is severely overprocessed and needs to be rated completely over.
Plus the facts about her possible songwriters/ghostwriters should he unearthed as well.
Imo, the female rap game created the first opening of fukkery.
To allow the male side of rap to be compromised as well.
As erroneously, in this day and age in general.
we judge the best male rapper by the faking jax games and aesthetics the female rap game wrongly brought into the fold.
Which started back as far as the Roxanne wars in the old school way of thought.
