[Peezy_Jenkins]

j dilla, jay electronica, joe budden, lloyd banks, wu-tang, lupe's first 2 albums and most 80's artists are GROSSLY overrated, doesnt mean i dont respect em tho.

after 50 first 2 albums, g-unit aint shit w/o young buck

fab has more than one good album

takeover>ether, just sounds better to me.

in 08-09 soulja boy was spittin(or tryin to at least)

nakia shine has good tracks

memphis and the sip have contributed more to hip hop than u think

hip hop elitists are whats wrong with hip hop

Good Music ≠ Lyricism

How are the bolded overrated? But I do agree with you about the underlined.

people act like they are the greatest thing, i take a listen and its not wack but its ehh, i have several songs i like by each one u bolded accept jay e. but i never saw the hype with em, for example people act like food and liquor one of the greatest albums in hip hop history, i take a listen and barely make it thru. people act like banks a phenomenal lyricist. i listen, i hear solid shit, but not greatness.

What's the turn off though? Is it the production or the subject matter? Or the accents?

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Banks is a phenomenal lyricist. He's a lyricist but his niche is mainly punchlines.

Overall, '90s hip hop was the best. Especially '90s New York / East Coast hip hop. Then again, I don't know much about hip hop from this decade.

I'm gon nosign you for comin into a thread about unpopular hip hop opinions and then stating a clearly popular opinion just so you can get a bunch of cosigns and shit as if you revealing some kind of brutal and honest truth.

On here that'll get disputed far more than you think. Southern posters and young niggas.

wrong, i believe majority of people on here have great respect for 90's rap music, wouldnt put an especially on east coast. it was greatness all over..

at least for me anyways. just cuz we not stuck in the 90's ass niggas dont mean we dont love what the 90's put out

it depends, for example with lupe its the production and to me it feels like he's preaching. dont take that as me not comprehending his message, thats the easy part, i just dont wanna be bored with it. ill rather replay bitch bad or lambo angels over most of food and liquor, with someone like banks people act like he has mind blowing punches and multis, ive heard guys like fab, cass, even buddens spit better, speaking of buddens, i just cant get into his songs like that. people say mood musik is such greatness, ion hear it. believe it or not the accents and where they are from really have nothing to do with it for me.

Biggie was perfect for the time he dropped. He wouldn't be held as high musically if he dropped his debut today.

Perfect example of the subjectivity I speak on at times. I think Lupe's production is fine and I don't think he's preachy. If you think Lupe is preachy then you really could either take him or leave him. I don't think anyone thinks Banks is that great of a lyricist he's great with his wordplay and he has dope punchlines.

 

[g00dlikeg0d]

It was written>illmatic

Jeezy is a fraud

Kanye is really a genius

Ja rule music was pretty good

Wutang collectively overrated

Master P is a legend

Jay Z is a product of more luck then talent

 

[DJ Pauls Arm]

Nobody in the south was checkin for Jay Z until he did Big Pimpin with UGK

 

[vicvallin]

guru was wack and only sounded nice because he was rapping over premo beats.

Calm the fuck down. I wasn't expecting anything nor did I care what reactions I'd get. I was stating a subjective preference. You think I thought I was revealing some "brutal and honest truth"? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

at least for me anyways. just cuz we not stuck in the 90's ass niggas

Shots fired at Ubuntu? I like what I like.

But like I said, I haven't listened to a lot of hip hop from this decade so I'm open to recommendations, from both of you.

Wait a sec. Guru might not be in your top 10. He's not in mine but I can't call him "wack". Overrated? Possibly but he definitely wasn't wack.

1. Words I Manifest

2. Just to Get A Rep

3. DWYCK

4. Jazz Thing

5. Down the Backstreets

6. Code of The Streets

7. Mass Appeal

8. The ? Remains

9. You Know My Steez

10. Skillz

I'm not gonna waste your time but pick any 3 of those songs and listen to them. Guru's not "wack" he might be a lil boring at times but he's never made a wack album.
