>Greatest
Rakim, Big Pun, Chuck D etc.
>Underrated
Wrekonize, Blackalicious, Murs
>>686042815
Agreed
Crooked I
>>686042020
How is he underrated? He only released like 2 albums, aside from wutang (which was wildly popular)
Busdriver, Astronautilus, Aesop Rock
>>686045114
Aesop is far from underrated, if anything he's overrated.
>>686045085
we are literally talking top 40 popular, regular rotation on mtv when return came out
>>686042020
>i am 12 and love underground hiphop
Denzel curry
esoteric
big john
reef da lost cause
r.a. the rugged man (this one might be a stretch)
MF Doom?
Dave East, new guy with potential
Recent song with him and The Game is pretty good
Other than Ridin Dirty nobody knows anything by Chamillionaire, easily one of the most underrated out right now.
>>686046042
How is Doom underrated? Most people recognize Madvillainy as one of the best rap albums of all time.
>>686045650
this
imperial was amazing and his older shit with SGP was fire too considering his age at the time
>>686046553
lmao he fucking sucks dude his lyrics are so generic and bad
>>686045632
>I'm 13 and I love to hate things because other people like it
>>686045114
Agree with Busdriver
>>686047388
His lyrics can get pretty bad at times but for the most part they're fine, occasionally pretty good.
Tame One is dope and Check out Artifacts
Who?
>>686047851
Mike jones.
Migos
Kid Cudi
Esham
>>686048007
this 100%
Cunninlynguists, Hieroglyphics, Del The Funkee Homosapien (Gets a lot of love for Dletron 3030 but the rest of his stuff usually gets forgotten). Oswin Benjamin is a pretty good up and coming rapper as well, killed it on TeamBackPack
>>686048284
Deltron 3030*
Are you asking for greatest underrated rappers (Freddie Gibbs is up there in the current generation), or
greatest rappers (Biggie, etc)/ underrated rappers (milo)
Those are very different things.
Don't gimme no MF Doom or Aesop shit, they're not underrated.
>>686042020
king kendrick
pretty much molded the underground into what it is today. not to mention the whole asap mob, including rocky, would be totally irrelevant if he wasnt around.
>>686048007
>>686048204
Have you heard their song with Mac Miller, "Jabroni"? Has Alchemist on the beat, it's a personal favorite.
>>686048404
I wouldn't say Freddie Gibbs is underrated, Pinata was hugely loved and there was a lot of hype for Shadow of a Doubt as well.
>>686048476
Is that nas?
>>686042020
ODB DA G.O.D
>>686048694
Depends on the circle I guess, most of my friends won't even give him a chance for some reason. Definitely has gotten a huge boost recently from the last two albums.

Fun fact:
The first rap song to appear on radio was by a white woman.
Debbie Harry of Blondie.
RAPTURE lyrics:
Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly
DJ's spinning I said my, my
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sais pas, Flashe no deux
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!
Suck on that, you pants sagging dirt monkeys

>>686049171
Well it was the first Number 1 single to feature rap. She name-checks Grandmaster Flash right in the song.
The first two songs to feature rap and get radio play were "Rapper's Delight" (aforementioned Flash) and "King Tim III" by the Fatback Band.

>>686042751
THIS
>>686045439
Agreed. Fuck Aesop. Overrated white nerd rap that appeals solely to one demo: white rap backpacking nerds.
>>686051058
Mike jones.
>>686050455
You said "the first rap song to appear on radio." It was not. The other two, potentially three, songs had airplay first. The song you named just rose to the top radio spot first, even though the others were already on the radio.

I wasn't saying he was shit, I like a lot of his music. I was just saying he's far from underrated.
Ace Cosgrove, Allan Kingdom, and I second Denzel curry.
ALSO, Chester Watson
>>686051050
It's okay, I still like them anyway.
>>686051279
this
>>686051372
White boy rap. Literally who else does Atmosphere appeal to besides white internet rap nerds? That's right. No one. If the draw is to attract fans of one tiny audience group, then they literally can't be underrated.
>>686047766
This
El da sensei is a beast
>>686051530
I AM SAYING HE SUCKS SO FUCK OFF
>>686051074
Haha yeah dude got into him through a mate he sounds like a local dude called cheap sober
>>686051151
>tfw you think you're a hard cunt
Fabolous
Aesop Rock is fucking retarded and ODB isn't underrated, anybody who's remotely into rap knows about Wu Tang which he's in, also most people have heard shimmy shimmy ya
>>686051473
Fuck madchild too you shit taste in rap having ass faggot
>>686051620
Slug is more like your average working man rap, it doesnt appeal to a lot of people but that doesn't mean it's bad. Slug is easily one of the best storytellers out there
>>686051473
OMFG BAXWAR ARE DA SICKEST
Meanwhile sdk steady murrkin
Earl isn't super underrated but his individual albums are underrated. Odd future as a whole is obviously overrated but Earl is kickass and better than tyler
>>686051868
I also heard of the guy who cut his own dick off
I think the are underrated rapers
>>686051890

>>686051874
Are you having a seizure you fucking retarded twat? Can you write a coherent sentence?
>>686052127
I agree. Definitely feel a lot of his best songs are underrated
Celph titled and Majik most
http://youtu.be/xJ7G3U_nNq0
>>686052127
He's an idiot for not taking that record deal and leaving those tools behind. He would have been eternal and probably had enough of a poet in him to take hip hop in a more lyrically diverse and deep direction.
>>686042020
No Myka 9?
U'r all a bunch of faggots, nigga-faggots.
Isaiah rashad. Civil demo was dope
>>686052396
I can cum on your bitch you wack cunt
>>686052324
Instead it's a bunch of depressive nerd bullshit with no cadence or groovable lyrics or beats. So yeah, deservedly underrated. Because it sucks. Thus the "under" rating.
Isaiah Rashad is fucking underrated, Cilvia Demo is amazing when we talk about lyrics.
Logic is another underrated rapper, Amazinh True Story is a albun that i literally cant stop listening when i start it
Every single one of you retarded faggots should drop dead. gtfo with your nigger drivel.
This is a must own
>>686052409
Every conversation I've had with people about Doris, their favorite song is Woah which pisses me off. Tyler really doesn't fit that album in my opinion, although it's a decent song. Mollasses is my favorite song
>>686052747
SAME. The incredible true story is so fucking good, and the production on Cilvia demo is fantastic
>>686052470
Agreed. Odd future sucks. Tyler's angry raps about roofie-ing girls, swag, and being a nuisance in malls got old after literally the first album. Absolutely insufferable fans. The WORST children ever. Like Justin Bieber fans perpetrating some forced counter culture. And here's Earl, stuck lumped amongst that infantile bullshit trash.
>>686052650
>>686052747
agree with isaiah
>>686052672
>depressive nerd bullshit
So you clearly haven't heard a lot of their music, after You Can't Imagine How Much Fun Were Having their music became a lot happier in tone.

Do any of yall know J.Tek
Nickelus F & Shawn Kemp did a collab album called trick dice it's one of my favorite hip hop albums. It's got two songs that are around 20 minutes long but it's worth a listen. Shawn Kemp is Lil Ugly Mane, I'm sad he stopped releasing music
Drake
>>686053008
You should try to listen TUT, Preacher son is the best album i heard this year and remember me Isaiah style.
>>686053106
So you just admitted their music is depressive. G00d job m8. Strap on your backpack and Beats by Dre and go talk about "the four pillars of hip hop" and how asian's were critical to hip hop and maybe preach about Momofuku Ramen and Anthony Bourdain shows. Fucken fagot.
>>686053261
Solace made me cry.
And you right, Mirror by Samiyam is so fucking good and Wind in my Sails is one of my favorite songs. A lot of people didn't like I don't like shit I don't go outside but I'm happy wit the change in direction after leaving odd future
Snoop Doggy Dogg

>Atmosphere is shit
>Doesn't know anything about their music
Kek, people on /b/ talking shit against stuff they don't know about, never change.
>>686053885
Only, you got called on your shit in every way, and are now trying to invent some alternate scenario of "no one knowing the actual content," when, in reality, they were all right, and you're just hurt in your little bum bum for being a nerdy white faggot that likes crappy rap music.
>>686053765
Did you listen to Kitchen Cutlery when he was sly tendencies?
Does anyone not know J.Tek
Check this up: Scientifik - The most blunted
>>686054457
Nigga nobody knows who J. Tek is
>>686054361
not specifically but I've heard some of the tunes from it
>>686054257
Claiming it's just depressive music when they're past 3 or so albums have all been quite happy sounding is knowing the music and them being right?

I haven't heard it all yet either, it's hard to get ahold of. Since you dig Earl, I strongly reccomend Chester Watson. Hes influenced by doom and Earl.
>>686055171
oh shit was listening to him earlier. phantom, trident, kids dope

>>686057945
I just found out he released that today too, I haven't bought it yet ha. I need to listen to more of his shit he had a ton of stuff. Tin wooki is super good too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbQVx1yPQsE
Earl is great, got a great unique flow. His bars intrigue me so much.
To be honest I never gave Mac Miller a chance cause of how much shit I heard about him but after some searching I found a few good tunes.
>>686053106
Anything after God Loves Ugly isn't really worth listening to. And that hurts me to say because I grew up on rhymesayers/def jux/living legends
>>686045650
Yeah denzel curry and yung simmie are worth checking out
>>686056646
Kanser kind of sucked but big Zach will always have a place in my heart
>>686058574
I would say When Life Gives You Lemons and You Can't Imagine How Much Fun Were Having are both just as good as God Loves Ugly. I like all of their albums though.
stop posting slone
>>686059678
Yeah Okay.
>>686058435
Mac Miller is pure trash
>>686060200
nah
The jokerr, swizzz (dude can rap he just never got a push). Wax, dumbfounded, dude from common market, masetti. I can go on and on but those were the first that came in my head. The jokerr and wax are two of my favorite rappers and wax isnt too well known amd the jokerr only has like 40000 subs on youtube.
at the moment young thug
>>686060576
fuck young thug lmao
Ras Kass is definitely underrated.
>>686058952
When life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold and to all my friends are probably my two favorite.
>>686060437
The Jokerr is way to cringey, he's like a worse version of Hopsin and Hopsins bad enough as is.
>>686060576
Young Thug is far from underrated and is complete trash.
>>686060576
YES, young thug is my favorite rapper
>>686060328
He's ugly
>>686060774
earl is ugly as fuck too. looks doesn't dictate bars lmao
>>686042020
RA the rugged man, Vinnie Paz or Jedi Mind Tricks
But how the fuck is ODB underrated?
MF Doom not entirely underrated but may be one of the greats.
Lil Yachty
>>686060762
His first hits on youtube are the worst songs. The dude shit on tech n9ne and tech said it was dope. Nobody could out diss the jokerr. Plus he can sing his ass off better than 98% of rappers, and play real instruments. I forgot people like the same old shit.
>>686060762
what are you, a fucking retard?
How is young thug trash?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEE9dLykl00
6+ flows in one verse just so you know, lyrics aren't everything. His delivery and flow is what I'd rather listen to than lyrics.

Shit-man is the greatest rapper of all time. This is the fresh new shit he just dropped.

>>686061539
I don't give a shit about your bernie supporting ass, lmao. Go listen to Kendrick Lamar you nigger.
>>686061326
His Tech Diss was pretty solid admittedly, but rappers who just use disses to get big always end up being annoying as hell. He thinks he's a lot better than he actually is and it shows. He isn't a bad singer though, hes got that going for him
>>686061328
Plenty of rappers switch up there flows a lot, it's nothing impressive. How is this song different from any other song he's released in the past 2 years, he does the same shit over and over, mumbles over generic trap beats with shitty lyrics.
>>686061807
Kendrick is terrible and bernie is a cuck. Go fuck yourself with some lil wayne in the background.

>>686061954
I cant argue that logic. His fanbase would have been a lot bigger had he not released trail of destruction. As much as i love the album it doesnt bring in hordes of fans. His compilation album that came out a little while back wasnt bad either.
>>686042020

>>686061392
>too bad his ass got diss tracked into oblivion and he ruined his label by being a little fag and kicking out the good rappers

I can say he's trash because he is. Funny how you have to bring in other rappers because you really have no solid points. I don't mind 2pac, Biggie and Kendrick but I really only listen to them occasionally, all 3 are better than Young Thug though.
>>686048404
run the jewels is pretty popular tho
>>686062865
>Implying I don't listen to Eminem already
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3byEUZm0r40
>>686062881
Solid point, as in, you are calling him trash for no particular reason, right?
You're hating him just because he sounds different than everyone else.
I guess you think Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs is trash too just because of his voice.
and no I'm not samefag as the person you're arguing with
>>686060762
I don't like young thug but he definitely isn't trash, quit hating man.
How has no one said Big L?

>>686042751
Same fag for his own video
>>686063556
I brought up reasons for why I think he's trash in this post actually>>686061954
Just to say again so you don't miss it, I think he's trash because he does the same shit over and over again, every project he's released in the past 2 years has been more of the same. Constant mumbling over standard trap beats.
>>686042020

>>686042020
wasnt he ghost written tho?
>>686042020
https://soundcloud.com/germone/uziloogies
>>686064455
the past 2 years he has changed A LOT, in 2014 he was fucking terrible, he only had a few good songs. And he isn't mumbling at all, I can understand him just fine since he changed up how he speaks too this year, last year was when he mumbled.
I wouldn't call his beats Standard either, they are above average and do not sound like a trap beat in the slightest.
I'm guessing you haven't even glanced at Slime Season 3 or I'm Up, shit even Slime Season 2.

>>686055376
You my nigga
>>686064960
He definitely mumbles, you would have just gotten used to it because you listen to him a lot (I'm assuming), and to be honest I didn't bother with I'm Up but did check out some of Slime Season 3 and again it's barely different from the other 2 slime seasons or Barter 6. How are his beats not trap? same old same old trap beats we've heard before.
>>686064948
>>686064455
Just because you can't understand his accent doesn't mean he mumbles.
I can barely understand Australians and Brits because of their accent.
He has a Southern Accent so it's harder for him to articulate what he says
>>686065187
To bad he sold out and became shit, used to be so great.
>>686045085
Osiris mixtape as well
>>686065629
There are plenty of southern rappers that have quite noticeable southern accents that rap clearly, Young Thug however mumbles the fuck out of his raps.
>>686063837
Was about to say the same , big L was dope R.I.P
>>686049224
Fuck off with the blasphemy faggot.
>>686042815
>Big Pun
Definitely
>>686065936
I understand him perfectly fine, regardless if he "mumbles" but you cannot deny he is improving from what it was 2 years ago all the way up to now.
2 years ago I would listen to nothing but 2pac, bone thugs, etc. and now my favorite rapper is Young Thug. I used to hate artists like Young Thug, migos, etc. just because my family hates anyone that isn't 2pac/biggie/etc.
I am now open minded, Migos is my second favorite rap group apart from Bone Thugs.
Young Thug isn't bad, he's different. It takes time to realize his genius, regardless of his mumbles (even though I disagree that he mumbles, I understand him fine)
Goodnight, glad you aren't plain insulting for no reason

>>686048476

He may be improving his type of music but for me it doesn't change that it's the exact same style over and over. In terms of being open-minded I'm not sure if you're implying that I'm not but I listen to a far bit of rap, all types of subgenres.

This has to be one of the most pretentious things you could say, it's like people that argue that if you don't like Aesop you just don't understand it. I understand Young Thug I just think he's shit.
'nuff said.

The 'sad electronic' sound of many modern rap artists owe their sound to Cudi.
