    Young Thug even though I like some of his songs is an artist who won't have a long lifespan. I can see him falling off in terms of quality music & buzz in the next 2 years.
    Its why Kanye's 11 year run of release quality music & being commercially succesfull in incedible.

    Obviously Eminem would have to be one of the most overrated of all time given that he's been average to bad for about twice as long as he was ever good, and over half of his solo discography is sub par but many consider him a legit contender for GOAT to this day

    OP has pitiful taste in hip hop, end of discussion//

    also, kanye is still on the whole more underrated than overrated by parts of the hip hop community & general public

    immortal technique and Slug from Atmosphere are extremely underrated
    Dance with the devil is a classic. This is a true example of storytelling through hip hop

    lol he's overrated as f---

    I know he doesn't have commercial success but the amount of backpackers that say he's the best rapper of all time is ridiculous. I used to ride this dude so hard [no h---] back as a young teen in school, dance with the devil and you never know admittedly are some of the best hip hop songs I've ever heard. they evoked emotion in me that 100's of hip hop songs never have.

    everything in this world is politics. any business you enter or really anything in life is involved in politics. You gotta know the right people and be in the right spot at the right time to make it big

    Lol nah, I mean immortal technique discusses politics too much, Bin Laden/George bush etc.

    Also his flow is always the same, I'd like more versatility from him in both rapping and subject matter.

    Lloyd Banks is definitely underrated. Cold Corner 2 was better then a lot of dudes albums. Dude does not get half the credit he deserves.
