Honest question, they dont necessarily have to suck, but who are the most overhyped artists in history.
Here's mine:
1. Notorious BIG- one classic album(Ready To Die) and one so-so does not make the blueprint for a legend. This cat has NO material. Less than 30-35 recorded tracks that everyone can hear.
2. Lil Wayne- the cat is damn near trash to me. Never understood when alotta youngsters these days started ridin his dick. Worst off, he's just a Jay-Z biter.
3. TI- i've seen lists from accredited websites that list him as a top 20 rapper or so. HOGWASH!!!!!!!! This cat is wack. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!
4. Method Man- ol boy has made some of the whackest cd's ive ever heard and is considered a legend. funny thing is, i think he's talented, it just hasn't translated into good music.
5. Rakim- The world pronounced KING. Not that he wasnt legendary, but he is anointed the greatest far too often. Personally, I always though Kool G. Rap was way harder than him and hell KRS-One has written songs for Rakim. With that alone, he cant be the GREATEST.
6. Any female rapper(sans Lauryn Hill-not better than the cats im talkin about, but pretty good) that they continually put on all time great lists while leaving off cats like E-40, Talib Kweli, Ras kass, Mos Def, etc. you have to be fuckin kidding me. Missy Elliot has been listed on just about every all-time greatest hip hop list ive seen on tv. Funny, i didnt know she was a rapper at all.
well theres the short list, i could add 50 more, but those take the cake.
