    Why you mad though? This is mostly based on opinion as everybody has their own about every artist.

    Kendrick Lamar is the most overrated rapper in the history of the genre. Dude sucks.

    Underrated: Machine Gun Kelly. He's hit & miss but when he hits he really hits.

    You clearly haven't heard his album :emoji_smirk:
    You guys are claiming he's stealing Drakes & Kendricks style, but who gives a f---? He's a dope lyricist and is underrated IMO & like I said, most of this is based on opinion. I respect your opinion, but c'mon now, Logic is a dope rapper.

    He's a dime a dozen "white rapper" cliche

    I'm not saying he's bad but he's overrated if anything

    And it was just the general vibe of hating on a super progressive album then being like "this unoriginal guy needs more praise" is like what every "real hip hop fan" would say

    Great thread and credit for putting some names that many won't agree with, sick of people making lists and all having the same names on them.

    I barely keep up with newer rap at all nowadays but I'd have to say YG for overrated, thought his album was horrible yet many said it was one of the best of the year. For underrated, I agree with the guy who said Lloyd Banks, he has a lot of great mixtape stuff. I also think Big L is underrated, I've met a lot of people that have never even heard of him and to me he's one of the best ever, also had a ton of potential since his career was just getting started.

    @Skippy I get what you're saying, but calling a rapper that's barely getting recognition overrated doesn't make sense.

    How the h--- did I miss YG.....definitely agree with you on that. His album only consisted of bangers & typical "money, weed, girls" lyrics, but too bad people don't really pay attention to his lyrics much since majority of the beats were produced by Mustard. Without Mustard, YG wouldn't of gotten big imo.

    In the suburbs surrounding Houston, especially the more uppity ones, Logic is like the second coming of Eminem to these fa----s

    So I guess near my area Logic is overrated

    Logic is a bit too influenced by Kendrick & J Cole.
    But his album is not bad. Under Pressure the song is dope even if it is a blatant copy of Kendrick.
