Who is the most overrated rapper in history? It's always

2pac definitely

>>72486957
whos in the middle?

Probably Biggie. DUDE FLOW LMAO

>>72487166
Eminem
>>72487183
Biggie's overrated because he's dead but it's nowhere near the level of tupac. And biggie was better than tupac.

Just out of curiosity, who do all of you considered solidly rated then? Who deserves their hype?

>>72486957
Why kendrick lok azn tho

>>72487237
Jay Z. I'd say Kanye (barring MBDTF, great album but severely overrated). There's not a whole lot of really good "big" rappers.

>>72487258
You mean Kung Fu Kenny?

>actually one of the best flows ever
>one of the best hip hop storytellers ever; knew how to build and release tension
>never made retarded party songs
He actually has one of the highest quality-popularity ratios of any pop artist in history

>>72487291
>one of the best flows ever
Explain what the means and why it matters so much

>>72487291
>one of the best hip hop storytellers ever; knew how to build and release tension

Like?

>>72486986
This.

In the near future I can easily see Kendrick superseding him in overratedness though. Probably will honestly.

Nas

Certainly. Flow = rhyme pattern + pitch of voice + volume of voice. It's the rhythmic aspect of rapping that makes it sound appealing regardless of what the words actually mean

One random biggie line that I think has great flow is "We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us / No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us / Birthdays was the worst days / Now we sip champagne when we thirsty"

>>72487341
Nope he's rated fairly

>>72487320
Suicidal Thoughts, Gimme the Loot

>>72486957
Kendrick is appropriately rated as the greatest rap artist of all time, with the best track record ever for a rap artist.

>>72487520
He's really mediocre though

>>72487520
Yeah like how can you not agree with this

The only other famous hip hop artists with 4+ incredibly solid albums (section.80, gkmc, tpab, damn) are outkast, DOOM (under various aliases/collabs), gang starr, the roots...ya thats probably it

>>72487264
>jay z
>but kendrick is overrated
that's idiotic my friend
even biggie blows jay out the water

>>72487520
what is this 'greatest rap song of all time' you mention?
