Big Pun

before you neg rep, look at his subject matter. There isn't a whole lot of diversity.

His debut album Capital Punishment had some of the most diverse subject matter you can fit on a rap cd.

Check out songs like "Parental Discretion"



Super Lyrical:



& Glamour Life

A song about hiphop's social effect, another about raw lyrical skills, and another about coming up and overcoming poverty. What more can you ask for

 
I can see how some say Big L was overrated b/c he was mainly a punchline rapper.

I can also see how people say he was underrated b/c he never really blew up in the mainstream.

IMO he was underrated because even tho he was mainly a punchline rapper, he was nice as hell with those punchlines.

He also showed he could rap on topic on tracks like this:

on top of big l taking lord finesse's style, he also ran with the "nasty nas" style.

the thing with big l is, it's not even fair to compare him to nas/jay/common/etc because his lack of material. they all have duds(kingdom come, blue print 3, volume 3, nastradamus, streets disciple, electric circus, UMC, can i borrow a dollar), but they at least have a catalog to judge by. i'd even rate a rapper like nature as high or even higher than big l.
 
big l is overrated but not really its just internet heads...but lets keep one hunnid..dude did not even get any play like that until he died then they started playin "flamboyant" on the radio and that one joint he had with showbiz and a.g got played on rap city...but dude didnt have any impact in 95 which was the peak of the nyc gritty era and them niggaz was droppin heat..he came up short..it's like when niggaz say mac dre was one of the best..his catalog is not all that great and a lot of his shit is wack on the real

cypress hill...these dudes got old quick and aint been relevant in rap since their 1st album

scarface/geto boys...respect them yes...i like face cause he def got good songs but album wise..he aint never made a classic and a whole album from him gets old but he does have great songs i just don't feel he is the undisputed greatest rapper from the south

the lox...i never did really get into their music like that although i do think styles p is nice..i'll admit i slept on him..as a group though they never really did it for me..i thought they aight but that's it

no limit...yea i give them props for putting the south on the map for the masses but the was music garbage

 
LMFBAO I know he was talking about Big Pun I was using a comparative example meaning I get that Pun is one of his favorites(not one of mine to each there own)thus the reasonfor such a adamant defense, I used an example of one of my favorites Pac who is also overrated. Point of it being you can be a fan and be objective and realistic acknowledging weak points faults and overrating with out getting hypersensitive...

Im one the most objective posters on this board..Pun 2nd album wasnt good, his weight caused lots issues with his flow and mic presence and stage peformance. His rhyme style is taken from G Rap etc.. I back my points up something many here don't do and just throw out baseless statements.

U of all posters have no weight in calling anyone a stan or speaking on hypersensitivity.

Just pointing out truth. If u gonna make empty statements without backing it up with critical thinking and examples expect to get called out on it.

The fact u and others view as it as u do lets me know cats here aren't about any discussion or legit debate just corny name calling.

Im not gonna get into how u played ur self in the other thread.

Mase. He had some hit records and got plenty of airplay. But lyrically and song wise,compared to other artists of that time frame, he was trash

IDK many folks that rated him highly
 
Big L for sure. His shit was bland as hell, predictable punchlines.

I wouldn't say e 40 is overrated. Just a hit or miss with a lot of people.

Spice 1 is underrated.

Redman I really don't understand why people think he's dope.

 
Just based on her expectations of being 'paid homage' and what have you, Lil Kim. GTFOH, ya done, dead, let that wierd bitch with pink hair cook.

That's your opinion

You ever heard "The Diary" or "The Fix"? I don't see how u don't think those are classic albums. Geto Boys had a few classic albums IMO

No Limit did have a lot of garbage artists, but Mac, Soulja Slim, Mystikal, Fiend, C Murder, and a few others were dropping heat at the time.

DJ KLC was making classic beat for NL too

just curious what there is to debate Big Pun being overrated does not mean he is not talented did not have some nice tracks or anythign of that nature just that some give him a higher level of praise and position then his body of work and self earned. You cam off like a homotional bitch when this was pointed out and I was even kind enough to show you how I felt one of my favorites was overrated also but then your tatrum started...

The point I was making is the poster claimed Big Pun Subject matter was limited... I simply stated that his DEBUT contained various songs that touch on many topics so I found it Ironic. If you want to say Big PUn is overrated fine no problem to just say subject matter is the reason that is something that can be debated. IMO there other reasons one can use to say Pun was overrated some of which I touched upon.

U made it a point to quote me (2nd time u done it) FIrst and throw weak disrespect when i was not addressing you in the first place. For someone who claims to be Wise yet you still doing the same corny shit in responding to me by resorting lame ass name calling so whose really catiching feelings and throwing tantrums if that all you can come back with?

Until you can address me as an adult without resorting to childish anticts and name calling dont quote my post with insults then continue with the insults when I call you out it like a 15 yr old child. Your not on my level fall back.
