Biggie had internal rhymes in lines and wasn't afraid to switch tempo.

Rhyming simply using internal rhyme does not make it "technical".

Biggie is one of those rappers who people exaggerate his "technicality" to compensate from his lack of subject matter.

Group Home
Jurassic 5
AOTP
Jedi mind tricks
Snowgoons
EPMD
Geto Boys
Public enemy
All are Better and have produced better Albums than anything Outkast have done , Merely my opinion of course

Group Home? C'mon son. Livin' Proof was a good album (predominatly for Primo) but still can't touch Kasts first three albums. And I'm trying to be as neutral as possible. And I love Mobb Deep but if they got 4 'bangin' albums then Kast have 4 classics. Now you tell me whos being crazy? I'm not even gonna go into the Snowgoons. I'll admit I haven't heard alot and probably shouldn't be commenting but is this actually a serious pick? If you could convince anyone here that Snowgoons are better than Outkast I'll sell every hip hop CD I own for 1 cent each on ebay. I'm liking the mentioning of EPMD and Public Enemy though so big ups for that. EPMD arguably have a better discography than Kast but I still think the skills of 3k and Big and their influence and success is too much. Still though I definitely respect them two choices.

Panacea, Gang Starr and Organized Konfusion are three obvious picks for me. Solid MC's. Great production. Similar strength discographies. Solo careers etc. It's still hard to put them on top of Kast though.

Bobby Baccala

Biggies talent is not over exaggerated, he was an excellent MC for example the first line of "unbelievable":

"Live from Bedford Stuyvesant, the livest one"
That on it's own is a brilliant example of how technical a lyricist he was, who could have thought of a line like that? And there's blatant examples of internal rhyme right there. Compared to big, Pac as a lyricist was basic, but Pac did cover a fairly large amount of topics and had a brilliant story telling ability, that's not to be forgotten. They were 2 different types of rappers with 2 very different styles and they covered different topics between each other.

Fúck it, Treach smokes the 2 of them when it comes to flows and technical ability, he's a freak.

All of these reinforce my opinion that most of the posters here haven't a clue what Hip Hop is.

Tupac is extremely overrated as a rapper. He may be a decent poet to some but his rapping is just poor imo.

Lil Wayne is ****e by and large. Can't understand the appeal for him.

Action Bronson deserves more credit, really good rapper, I feel his colour/appearence is holding him back.

Hip Hop was never dead, people just weren't looking beyond the charts.

Timberland was one of the most inventive producers at one point and produced exceptional music.

Dr Dre has been wack-sauce since The Chronic 2001.

Mello Music Group should have everyones support in Hip Hop.

All members of the Wu by and large talk nonsense. Particularly Ghost and Rae. But I still love them.

Raekwon has released some dreadful albums.

There are so many rappers/groups on the 'underground' that will never get heard because they don't have financial backing, and they are 20 bazillion times better artists than what is popular.

I'm not trying to attack him or anything. I've noticed his last few posts on the forum and they've all been saying that he thinks no one on here knows what hip hop is. I simply asked him what he thinks hip hop is. He doesn't seem to want to answer it so I've nothing further to add really.

Action Bronson is dope. After seeing him LIVE, he is even doper. After talking to him in person, he is the dopest rapper starting with A in the last 5 years

There have been a few up and comers like Add-2 and ANTHM that given another few years could be excellent.

But I would say the most notable one that could compare to Action Bronson in popularity is Ab-Soul. But give me Dr Lecter or Blue Chips over Control System any day.

Average rapper, yes.

But exceptional producer, sonicaly, his production is so crisp. And his music is awesome. Listen to any track off MBDTF in mp3, then compare to any other mp3 you have and you can notice the difference.

And I think that everyone should watch this video to see how many mixes of Stronger he done and how it was all over 1 kick. He even got Timmy into the studio to sort out the 1 kick.

Absolutely. He's such a good producer, that he gets away with being an average rapper.

I think people maybe don't like him because what he's doing isn't really hip-hop, but rather hip-hop influenced, sort of prog-hip-hop, if you will. I have a theory that a lot of acts who make it big in the mainstream from somewhat niche genres often leave a lot of that genre behind and essentially become a pop/rock act that's just influenced by that genre. I'm thinking of acts like Bob Marley, The Prodigy or Nirvana (though they reverted back a bit for the last album as they/Kurt didn't like how poppy Nevermind was). I reckon Kanye fits into that category. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, either. I think MBDTF is the best thing he's done.

He probably deserves to be on it for "Exhibit C" alone, but he has only released a 15 minute long mixtape and an EP. He has an unbelievable amount of talent but at the rate he's going he may never live up to it. His album is taking forever and a day to be released. He turned it in to his label a couple of months ago and said it was fully complete. I hope he gets his act together and just puts it out.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Kanye may be a dickhead but he makes the best mainstream hip hop out there. That's not even an opinion, it's a fact. Was listening to College Dropout earlier, phenomenal production and all the features are excellent.

conor.hogan.2

Eazy-E was Eazy E, he was what he was and he was great at it. He didn't write a lot and he was not the best rapper but he was great in his own way/style very much like ODB (but not many say much bad about him)

It is a shame Proof did not get to make more albums and it is a shame his passing did not catapult him into the limelight.

Aftermath threw away serious amounts of great rappers. Rakim, Busta and Lamont being 3 and they should have signed Crooked years ago.

He was amazingly good, "I miss the hip hop shop" is one of the best albums of the 00s. I'm seriously surprised he wasnt cast into the limelight after he died, he was the 2nd biggest member of a major group (and arguably the most talented) and he died in seriously controversial circumstances too.
"Life" and "Searchin" are easily his best songs, him and Dilla went surprisingly well.
Proofs music in general is just so easy to listen to.

I think that he is under-rated. I know that he gets alot of kudos for his production, but he should be getting more.
All the up and coming producers are trying to mimic him, and by the time they catch up, he has evolved to the next.
He's also extremely diverse, he can do a chopped up sample beat (Otis for example....and Just Blaze tries to emulate this style), and orchestral number, a bouncy beat with stonk (Kanye's workout Plan), he can do dirty drum beats, he can even do those horrible sounding chart poppy beats and make them sound great.
What p8sses me off the most about Watch The Throne is that he only produced 1 song, took him a few minutes, and was the best beat on the album. Even No ID critiqued him for not producing anything on the album.

It's also like Timbaland ont getting enough credit for his production. He was an insanely amazing producer, nowadays not so much, but a few years back he was awesome. Extremely inventive and he changed the sound of hip hop (and RnB) commercially.

I'll be the first to admit that the main thing I have against Kanye is that he's a proper c**t I wouldn't say under-rated though. Pitchfork gave My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy a perfect 10 score. Not that I'm the biggest pitchfork fan either haha, but the guy is critically acclaimed and hyped everywhere.

Lovely song. I have high expectations for his album. He has taken so long with it that I when it does come out I think it'll definitely be a contender for album of the year.

I love songs that have a 60-second verse from the artist and nothing else. That J-Elec song is up there but this offering from Emcee Jermaine is the best that I've heard. He's ridiculously under-rated. This guy is better than the majority of mainstream artists. I hope he puts out more. If he were to stop with just his EP then it'd be a real shame.

MBDTF is an over-rated album for the simple fact it was kanye's return to rapping after putting out a pop album. WTT is a 10, MBDTF is a good album but imo nothing special.

BetterCallSaul

Kanye get's the praise he deserves, but If you want to talk about under-rated. Madlib is ridiculously under-rated in my opinion.

Bodhisopha

Nas is a massive fanny and "i can" is the cheesiest song from a "serious" artist that i have ever heard, ever, in my life, ever.

Talib Fiasco

Madlib is more slept on that underrated. Literally every person I've seen who has heard of Madlib has him in their top 5 producers of all time with Primo, Dilla, Prince Paul, Pete Rock etc. But even so Madlib is one of the more well known underground artists. For his associations with DOOM (another very well known underground artist) and of course his ferocious work rate Lib is anything but underrated imo. I was never a big fan of the Quasimoto albums because of the high pitched vocal effects but people deem The Unseen a classic. Production wise sure but the lyrics and rapping are dreadful. But yeah good looks for bringing up Madlib who is easily a better producer than Kanye and has a convincingly better discography. But the guy isn't underrated. As I said first, slept on would be the proper term...in my opinion of course.
