Not to be negative, but who in your opinion is wildly overrated?

    I thought her album was really good and achieved exactly what it set out to do. Album of the year? Nah. But it definitely succeeded at being a super fun pop-rap album for the summer.

    50 is underrated imo, he had a short run and a big quality drop, but people forget all the music dude dropped (solo mixtapes, G-Unit mixtapes, EPs, albums, group projects, helped launch Banks, Buck, Game and Yayo careers, soundtracks...). Every 50 hook used to be gold back then.

    Game dropped some great albums and mixtapes just to ruin it doing and saying weird s--- on social media. But I still enjoy Game's music 10 times more than Kendrick's or YG's.

    Kendrick is overrated since GKMC.

    His earlier albums were great

    So... To me

    Kendrick: I can fall asleep listening to TPAB evrry time I listen to it. I was so disappointed the first time I heard it coming from one of my favorite albums of all time (GKMC). And I don't like d--- except for DNA, which I think is dope.

    Cole: I like some songs here and there, but I think he's pretty boring as an artist, just like...

    Big Sean: I always found him bland and boring, never really liked his albums and even some features. Not a fan.

    Rocky: Another one, I like some tracks, but I don't think he's even half as good as they say he is.

    Tyler and his weirdo crew (Frank included sorry): Never liked their music, I even see people praise Earthquake and don't understand it at all.

    When it comes to Frank. I enjoy some tracks from Channel Orange, but I can't get into his other 2 albums at all.

    The rest would be a bunch of trap artists like Lil Baby, Uzi, Dababy, 21,... Even Future, his last projects have been so boring and repeptitive.

    Nope. And Game is one of the most underrated artists of all time. He never got recognized for anything he did.

    Game manages to rap on good beats and flow well and still make the song boring. Plus he acts like a 16 year old while being 35 or something and that's the corniest s--- ever.

    Idk, never liked it. But I do like Bodak Yellow and I like It like that except for the features. Her singing is also horrible.

    WAP was cool, didn't expect her to have another "solo" hit tbh. Meg killed her though. But if I had to chose, I would rather listen to Cardi than Meg.

    Doctors Advocate was fire front to back

    A lot of rappers act stupid and weird, but yeah, Game needed a good manager, not another weirdo like him (Wack)

    I like mumble rap lmao, but trap got stale a long time ago. Now it's just more of the same.

    I expect more repetitive boring projects from Migos, Lil Baby, Dababy, Wunna, Future.... This year. And the thing is that trap records still going number 1 and their albums keep selling.

    Pop and Von brought some energy to the game, they were fun.

    Some obvious ones been said already, Cole, Game

    Personal take but Big L. Can’t deny that he was talented and had a lot of potential, but he didn’t live long enough to realise it. Not that I’m gonna hold dying against him, but people gas the f--- out of him and I just don’t think it’s justified.

    Glad you brought up Kenny beats, because he is the most uninspired, copy paste producer I’ve ever heard. Not that his beats are bad per say, it’s just hes Literally a YouTube type beat rapper that’s successful. Don’t even get me started on the street accent he puts on! I know you don’t talk to your mom on the phone like that Ken-AAVE Beats!

    idk, I don't like him moving into the trap-adjacent space or back into boom-bap. Honestly all I want from Cole are songs like Power Trip, Work Out, Lights Please, Deja Vu, etc. He's good at those and should stick to them.

    Gonna get stabbed for this but 2Pac. He's like Kobe in a sense, he was a big flashy star and can hang at the bottom of a top ten but has no right to be in a top 3 discussion.

    I agree, I like most of what he put out so I say this with love but: his discography is basically like 100 punchlines about giving people AIDS.
