Top 10 Overrated Rappers.
Let me warn you before-hand, this list will be weird as hell, because I'm mixing dead and living rappers. It's going to be weird seeing the mixture of rappers you see in this post. You may even call me stupid. Nonetheless, this should be an interesting blog post. I get to come up with 10 rappers that you all worship and praise that are, in actuality, overrated. I pray to God that one of your favorite rappers make this list. As a matter of fact, I'll bet you all of my FAFSA money that my number one pick is going to piss you off. With that being said, let's get this list started, shall we?
10. Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne almost didn't make this list. Wait, let me explain. He didn't almost not make it because he's too good for it, but because he's garbage. However, there somewhere near 1,000,000 idiots out there who have bought that garbage can space occupier, that is the Carter 4. I'm still in denial that Lil Wayne still has a fan base. Like....wow. And the fact that he has "I Am Not A Human Being" dropping soon? Mannn look....he can keep that.
9. Stalley
The hell is he wearing, fam? Bruh's casual clothes look like camo equipmet? Anyway, Stalley is overrated because his fans AND he, himself overrates himself. He truly believes that he is a hard-body lyricist and a true representative of "True Hip-Hop". Ask my blog-mate Alisha. He is the Meg Griffin/Jojo Simmons of MMG. No one cares about him. He was the kid that got left at the store by his parents and they didn't notice until they got home. His lyrics are very subpar. Exactly how relevant is he again? That makes me think, maybe he didn't even deserve a spot on this list. I digress, though.
8. Kendrick Lamar
WAIT! LET ME EXPLAIN! Kendrick Lamar is my favorite rapper, before I continue. Now, there are a lot of people out there who put Kendrick on THE highest pedestal. Come on, fam. He really just dropped his first album. I mean...yeah, it was a classic (in my eyes), but you can't throw around that "best" term just. Let em' prove himself with consistency first, idiot. Most of you only like him because he raps fast anyway. A good percentage of you don't even digest lyrics, or even care to. Kendrick has also made my second least favorite song ever (next to Drake's "Crew Love") in "Michael Jordan". That song was horrid. He's still a great rapper though, and quite possibly the future of hip-hop.
7. Curren$y
It took me a while to start explaining this. I spent too much time laughing at this picture. Anyway, I'm not going to call Curren$y trash, man. I can't say he's garbage, because he's not. He's actually pretty decent. He has hit tapes such as Covert Coupe and the Pilot Talk 2, but he also is hip-hop's Eore (spell check). He is boring! You got to set your alarm clock for the next day before you listen to Curren$y. Don't mess around and have an important day ahead of you the next day and listen to Curren$y. You will fall into a deep coma and whatever you had planned for that day...forget about it. I'm getting tired just wri....zzzzzzzz.
6. Big Sean
I don't know why you smiling at me, fam....you overrated. Your nursery rhymes and unnecessary onomatopoeia makes you sound stupid. "Wow, bow, look at me now." No. "I love girls that's Arabian, Albanian, Caucas-ien?" Shut up, bruh. Big Sean can still spit though. I won't deny him that. But there's speculation that he is the future. Let me just tell you now....no. He's a swag rapper now. Back on Finally Famous (mixtape) - Finally Famous 3, he was coming with bars. "Detroit" was even nice, but y'all just have to chill.
5. Kid Cudi
What the hell is he even doing? You childish, bruh. Kid Cudi is weird. His music is weird. He epitomizes weird. Apparently y'all like him for that. He stands out to y'all because, instead of rapping, he likes to hum and moan on instrumentals and deliver them to you. It must be because he's a stoner, right? It has to be. "Man on the Moon" was a solid project. I can't lie, but this is rap, fam. Rap. You playing on staircases when you could be fixing the problem. Kid Cudi, once again, isn't bad. Y'all just make him to be this great rapper when he's not. Remember back when you all compared him to Drake? LMFAO!
4. Kanye West
Are y'all calling me stupid yet? Do you hate me yet? Yep, Mr. West is overrated. I'm not going to take anything away from his creativity and his artistry, but lyrically? Mannnn. "I put suicides on the private jet/ You know what that means, I'm fly to death." He also said something in the realm of, "I'm sh*tting on you n*ggas, holy crap." Kanye's clearly not where he used to be lyrically. He still composes good music, but he has fallen off. He's stepping it up with verses like "New God Flow", though. He just has too many die-hard fans that are too blind to realize that he no longer cares. Neither Kanye nor Jay-Z care. They just spit whatever they want...because they can. I think Jay has earned that right...not Kanye.
3. Wale
Some of you are rejoicing. Some of you are cringing. Wale could have possibly been number one if I didn't have number 1 and 2 thought up already. Wale is inexplicably overrated. It's ridiculous. He comes at you with this ever so repetitive flow with these pseudo-deep lines. And his poetry! My goodness. Y'all eat that poetry up. Wale takes that deep breath between words in his lines to make it sound deeper. He also likes to chuckle at his punchlines in the middle of his bars. What's funny, pimp? I don't hate Wale, though. I actually like him. Crazy, right? I hope his album will make me change my views.
2. Eminem
Well...this is awkward. I'm gonna explain myself though. Eminem is one of the greatest, in theory, but is he really the Jesus you all make him out to be. Eminem may have one of the best rap songs in history with "Stan", but that's not what you all overrate him for. You all, like Kendrick Lamar, overrate him because he raps fast...with assonance. He can put cereal, ethereal, and imperial in a sentence and you all will flip. On another note, when is the last great album he has dropped? Do NOT say "Recovery". Do NOT say "Relapse". Nonetheless, you all call Eminem the best rapper alive today. Lie. Say, perhaps, we switch Eminem's flow with Lupe's. Lupe has that lyricism that will make his raps even more mind-blowing. Eminem would be average. Period. Lupe has a sub-par flow, but still is great because of his nice lyricism and wordplay. I digress.
1. Tupac
"OH HELLL NAW". I know. It'll be ok. Pac is often called the greatest of all time when it comes to this rap thing. Truthfully, Pac couldn't go bar-for-bar with a lot of the rappers of our generation. He was impactful, poetic, and revolutionary, but those bars. Look, I know you're still shook, but face it...you all overrate him. Pac was also extremely repetitive. Listen to a Pac album and take a shot of liquor to the head for every time he says "penitentiary". You will not live to see the next day. The point is, he had tons of lyrical substance, but not as much creativity in his lyricism. He That's what make's rap a bit more interesting. I have a question, though. How many of you (who call Tupac the greatest) have sat through at least two albums worth of his music? Ok.
All in all, I do not believe that any of the artist on this list are completely trash (except for Wayne and Stalley). Heck, one of them is even my absolute favorite rapper. The point is, you all have to stop overrating rappers. You ruin those rappers for other people when you put rappers on a pedestal. We're all guilty. Welp, I've said my piece. COMMENT ON THE BOTTOM AND VOICE YOUR OPINION! Goodnight.

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha when you said that people would be pissed at your #1 pick, I had a strange feeling it was Pac. I agree with some on your list (I can't say all cuz there's a few I haven't really paid attention to, namely Wale and Stalley). People can enjoy an artiste's work(s) and "sell its worth" to someone else for what it truly is, but they also need to learn that it is highly annoying and ignorant of them when they glorify that artiste as if there's no other better. If you just make the mistake of not praising their favorite artiste enough, they dismiss you as an idiot or conclude that you know nothing about music, and that bullshit needs to stop.
