The Most Overrated Rappers In History

Hot 97 Summer Jam 2014

2. Lil’ Wayne

Yes… Lil’ Wayne had one of the great Hip-Hop runs of all-time…and he has given us TIMELESS classic joints…but he is currently tarnishing his own legacy and exposing the flaws that we failed to see earlier in his career. His last four projects earned a first class flight to my recycle bin b. Those joints pissed me off son, I wanted to slap somebody’s grandmother. Dude really just don’t care anymore, it’s sad too. We done seen his best and we’re now seeing how far stars can fall…

  1. If Pac is a fair reason to put apart of the overrated Top 5 list but I honestly think André 3000 shouldn’t be on this list. Wayne’s easily #1. If we’re talking about overrated rappers, Jay-Z is on this discussion too. I love Kanye more than any of the rappers mentioned but I think it’s fair to say he’s apart of the overrated rappers list.

    Also, s/o to Angelica’s cute ass. She probably won’t see this lmao

  2. I don’t agree with this list, Andre3K is dope still and Wayne is still killing shit and coming up with new shit

  3. 3 stakes is overrated because of the Media and niggles like you and come on number 3 you was tripping because must of the decades he wasn’t a rapper. Ill Wayne should for real be number 1 and drake pussy ass should be number 2.

  4. I’d say biggie number 5 or 4, two classic albums and then a few okay ones, not really enough material for me.

  5. I will argue Em being on this list until the end of time.

    Also this appears to not set up a concrete guideline for what it means to be overrated, and instead picks at each individual rapper’s flaws.

    For example. Pac is mainly slammed for not being technically gifted. So is Drake. But then the next slide, is Em.

    Pac: “He was the best at his time at inspiring…as a RAPPER he wasn’t that special.”
    Drake: “He has his moments of course but he isn’t the best technical rapper”

    What happens when we get to Em?
    Em: “His technical rapper skills are top 5…his music is not…which is why he does not make my Top 5 overall.”

    The Eminem slide contradicts what kicked Pac and Drake out.

  6. This appears to not set up a concrete guideline for what it means to be
    overrated, and instead picks at each individual rapper’s flaws. That’s not determining who’s overrated, at *all*

    Pac: “He was the best at his time at inspiring…as a RAPPER he wasn’t that special.”

  7. I like these. It’s unbiased as hell. I thought alot of the same things about Tupac and drake is good on the power that K. Dot is the ONLY other rapper in the spotlight that don’t sound like they came from someone ass.

  8. Tupac is definitely up there. But Wayne? He gets disrespected constantly. He’s definitely not overrated.

  9. I Dont Really Care For Overrated Lists Cause Every Rapper w/ A Fan Base Will Be Overrated At Least Once, But For As This List Go Putting 3 Stacks At 1# Was Lowkey Genius ..Good Shit B.

  10. Kanye should’ve been number one imo, rest of the list is pretty solid. Idk bout Andre though.. And Soul got an honorable mention? :/

  11. disagree with 3 Stacks being number one but it was a good list, everyone I would have put on it. I gotta fight this Jay character for the Kanye slander though.

  12. when i seen the picture of Pac and Ab Soul and Biggie as honorable mentions i didn’t even bother to read the rest of this bullshit

  13. They’re all over rated, mainstream media overstated,
    The media psychologically masturbated,
    Envy fornicated,
    copy mimic, a rap wannabe – sucked up what got ejaculated!

  14. Pac is not overrated by any means. Though he didn’t use a lot of complexity or metaphors and punchlines, he was a lyricist. A lyricist is someone who has subject matter and that he did have. The greatest to ever do it. The real top 5 overrated are: Jay-Z, Biggie, Kanye, Wayne and Eminem. Andre 3000 is an honorable mention but he’s also included.
