Who do y'all think doesnt get enough plaudits for they rhymin skills, and on the flip side, who do y'all think gets too much (Dun say 50cent coz its pretty obvious)

Lets try and make this a interesting debate...

I say Lloyd Banks is massively overrated...He aiight but people tryna make out he some kinda rap god...*shakes head*

I'll drop some more opinions when I can be bothered to think more...

I like Magoo, I think they tryna make out he better than he is tho...timbaland aiight, he need to mix it up a bit - more variety...and I personally think Camrom and alla them cats have the rep they deserve, I can see how anyone rates Cam at all...

Terror Squad  WAS the most slept on group of all time. They dropped a pretty hot album ("True Story") and they've had the most underrated NY emcees: Armagedon and Prospect. Fat Joe's flow has improved drastically in an era where ppl start off good and then suck. Remy Martin is incredible; she's quick to battle anyone when she goes out to clubs. I saw her at a club 2 months ago, on her birthday(it was also my girl's birthday). She tore up the stage... Now New York is taking notice. Hopefully others do. Most overrated? Kanye. "The savior of hip hop" Bullshit.
Black Thought from the roots is also underrated.

T-Squad's first album was pretty good, but yeah - they fell off.

Most slept on? Hmmm... I gues that depends on how you look at it. Alot of cats get critical acclaim, but don't move as many units or get heavy rotation. Or vice versa. The Roots are on point, Black Thought in particular. I think Immortal Technique is sick as fuck, and deep as shit. Download Dance With The Devil. That shit is thought provoking... Let's see... The Living Legends, Sly Boogy, Mos Def, Scarface, Eyedea, Brother Ali, Andre Nickatina, Ghostface Killah, Shaq-Fu...(I'm just fuckin' on that last one...)

As far as OVER-rated, Kanye obviously, I know alot of cats will hate on this one, but I fucking hate B-Real lately, Black Eyed Peas, Sean FUCKING Paul, anyone on Shady Records NOT named Marshall Mathers or Obie Trice, and Obie's pushin' it, Jay-Z, Chingy, Nelly - DEFINITELY Nelly -, Twista (right now), Beastie Boys, there's alot more, but I'm lazy...

OVER = pretty much anyone currently on 106 & parks top ten,

under = blackthought (have you heard that roots album...bananas)
immortal technique (is there a reason he isnt an underground legend yet)
joe buddens (didnt think he had the battle skills of the last 3 tracks)
fabolous (why dont yaw see the ill multis and punches, and wordplay, a textcee trapped in an audio heads body)
mos def (can make ANYTHING flow with a rythem that you rewind over and over)

your writing-is-weaker plus this pussy runs when sightin-the-heaters
but you'll still catch *bullets* from the *nine* like *titans-recievers*

So true. Fabolous has settled in real fine with his multis and wordplay... His first single was still the biggest piece of shit though.. so annoying. I love his relaxed flow. His freestyles are sick too.

Pac and Big were overrated

Twista and Kayne are prolly over rated a bit, but Kayne is pretty fresh and has some whitty lines, so I aint gona hate on him....he doing his thing.

I personally think Pac and Big were both ill but I think Rakim definately gets slept on...on my contenders list for the all time best, Big Pun and Big L dont get enough credit either.

Eminem is also over rated, he used to be raw but now he doesnt seem to have any motivation...His drop on the Jada album was a disgrace...certainly had fell off

Kalesnekof (htf u spell that) is slept on as well...guy is sick as fuck

Yea the Bigs.. Pun an' L.. seen wit' that, and I guess I agree about Kanye as well, and as everyone can predict I was gonna say... Chino XL. The name is out there now no doubt, but not on the level it should be; same goes for Pharoahe Monch, and even KRS One even though he's been runnin' this game for fuckin' years.

fabolous is badass n as jehu says i love his relaxed style of flowing, i also never really thort much of BIGGY but thort 2pac was awesome,

any one else seem to think Cam'ron dont get enuf hype, i pesonally think hes wicked n his album kicks buttock cheeks, considerin hes a member of (diplomats ) a branch of from the roc aswell, cept wiv his bois instead!! im suprissed he aint hyped about so much as sems as hes wiv Jay-Z n Kanye aswell.

any 1 agree or thinkim chatin out my ass ha?

Wu Tang as a group get quite a bit of praise, mind you they get a lot of attention jus' cuz there's so many of the MFers an' a lot of their "fans" don't know shit an' are the MTV Base fanatics you see about. Individually and as a group they're mindblowin' tho, Triumph is fuckin' timeless. 36 Chambers is probably the strongest but Forever and The W still have mad mad tracks on 'em, they ain't put out a flop yet.

So I guess you could say they're slept on by people's opinions you can take seriously, but a lot of the mindless pop-culture faggots dig 'em after hearin' like 3 tunes.

. . . Now who said they fuckin' with me?
They just said that FUCKIN' with me
They didn't mean it
