Post your underrated rappers /mu/
Not rappers you think are good that you just want to promote but rappers which are usually overlooked and could warrant GOAT status
>Guru
Craig Mack had so much potential
>Inspectah Deck
Him and GZA are the two standouts in Wu tang for me but whenever I hear Inspectah Deck on a track his wordplay and flow always means he kills it and usually as the best bars on the song
>>61463982
Completely agree OP, such a timeless, effortless flow
>>61464023
Yeah I feel him, AZ and Memphis Bleek are the best rappers to never make it.
AZ and Memphis Bleek both killed Nas and Jay Z respectively on their own best albums
>>61464073
Life's a bitch should've been an AZ song ft. Nas
FUCK WHOS BADDEST A PERSONS STATUS DEPEND ON SALARY AND MY MENTALITY IS MONEY ORIENTATED
>>61464189
Haha, very true compadre. In my opinion one of the best verses in hip hop
>mfw ya'll sleeping on my man
>>61464374
IM DESTINED TO LIVE THE DREAM FOR ALL MAH PEEPS WHO NEVER MADE IT
>>61464419
>mfw eyebrows
I apologise though because I have no fucking clue who that is, maybe just havent seen what he looks like
Big L should've blown up more. His flow and ryhmes were smooth as fuck. Sucks what happened to him.
>>61464453
>mfw you have no face
>mfw I have no face
it's oddisee btw, listen to Tangible Dream
>>61464036
agree
>>61464419
that Tupac?
>>61464471
Too many super talented rappers died before they could show it.
Fuck you Suge Knight
DJ Subroc is another example, MF DOOMs brother, crazy talented producer and MC, produced black bastards
>>61464471
What's this motherfucking rap game without L?
That's like jewels without ice
That's like China without rice
Or the Holy Bible without Christ
Or the Bulls without Mike
>>61464471
Big L was fucking GOAT he would've destroyed Nas and the like if he was still alive.
Any idea when that biography movie of him is coming out?
Charizma, dude was dope but got killed in the early 90s before he even had time to get his first album off. he opened up for Nas and a few other acts
fuck everything i say actually, this man is underrated goat mc

you better pray to the pope or the vatican before i go rat-tat-tat-tat-tat again im mad again brother somebody's mother will be sad again
>>61464471
The most valuable poet on the M I C!
>>61464995
fuck me this guys good
Best British MC and one of the best in the world imo

>>61465090
isnt he tho
>>61463982
Jonathan Mathis. Hate the hate that he gets on this board.
90's busta had so much potential
his flow was so unique

>>61463982
>>61464036
goat tier for sure. can't really think of any others. Just lowkey good rappers.
>>61465356
>Jonathan Mathis
It's his (your?) fault for spamming his album all over the place
Kingpin Skinny Pimp desu
Some of them Memphis niggas should have made it just like Juicy and Paul
>>61463982
Sick YG
>>61463982
So much this. Gang Start and Premo get so much praise but no one gives the credit to Guru. Jazzmatazz series (especially vol. 1) is fuckin amazing
>>61464023
Truth
>>61464036
GZA at least had Liquid Swords which is generally put up against OB4CL as the best Wu album, Deck got absolutely fucked. At least people put him above U-God and Masta Killa.
>>61464073
AZ is great too, he's just a better Nas all around
>>61464419
Of course not, Odd is one of the best out right now. He produces his shit like gold AND raps like a god.
>>61464471
Nobody could take nothin from Big L but a loss, chief
This dude could've still pumped out heat throughout the 2000's if he didn't get shot
>>61464500
This. Nothing compares to this project by him
>>61464563
I dedicate this to Subroc; the hip-hop Hendrix
>>61464982
THIS. That album he made with Peanut Butter Wolf was an amazing last piece of work from him. One of the best from the west of all time
>>61464995
Pharoahe is amazing. Organized Konfusion was great, but his solo stuff recently has been fantastic
>>61465828
He's still pretty well respected in the communit. I would argue he's quite overrated
>>61465828
Busta Rhymes is pretty damn good, but I wouldn't call him underrated like some other rappers ITT.
Freddie Foxx is underrated as well, he literally could have been Rakim
>>61466142
>>61464036
tfw Inspectah Deck would have had a RZA album but the RZA's house flooded and they lost that and his entire backlog of beats
>>61466142
In regards to Deck I have no idea how he's so overlooked. On pretty much every song he's on on a Wu tang album he slays it.
Triumph and Protect ya neck coming to mind
Royce da 5,9
>>61466249
Fuck, really?
Didn't know that about the album he got topkek dicked over
Haven't seen people talk about Doujah Raze around here
Ludacris, Young Dro
Future, Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt, or a dude named Shaqisdope check him out on Spotify or YouTube
Sir Michael Rocks as a solo artist and one half of the cool kids. One of the most original and daring artist out there who has redefined his sound year after year and influenced many of the current generation of rappers.
