Rappers you think are underrated?

[SoupErb]

Tell us who you think is underrated and didn't/doesn't get enough attention?

I been listening to a lot of Sticky Fingaz and personally I think dude is dope and def should have a lot more attention.

"That don't make you gangsta coz you got shot, that's so stupid; The nigga that's gangsta is the one that do the shootin'"
"Doc said I had a problem, somethin wrong with me, a rare symptom called errything belong to me, I steal so much Im surprised I ain't locked away, I even stole some chronic from Dr. Dre"
Sticky Fingaz We Bring Gangsta - YouTube

"Don't nothin' but numbers come out my mouth, before I could read or write, I learned to count"
Sticky Fingaz Doe Boyz - YouTube

"I got no morales my mind is in the gutter, kid I'll open up ya face with my orange box-cutter"
"I got street smarts and I used intuition, I could spot an under-cover with my X-ray vision"
Method Man ft. Sticky Fingaz (Onyx) - Evil Streets - YouTube

Fredro Starr - Shining Through (*) - YouTube

[Murderous Swag]

[Fredo Lombardi]

Obie Trice ^ Good call RULE .. He is majorly underrated.

[Revan]

Chamillionaire probably underrated in the great scheme of things too.

[BLNK]

Phil Banks, knowing about him doesn't affect how a person rates him as an artist.

But yeah, Skyzoo's dope, with that Dear Whoever track being one of my favorites.

My Man Chakuza

[Phil Banks]

u guys wild....how people that gone platinum underrated lol..... they got millions of fans

[Godbody]

Ya'll should smack the shit outta yaself..If you make a thread for underrated artists AZ's name has to come up. Don't think this is me talkin outta my ass again

he's listed by about.com as the most underrated lyricist in the game and Eminem lists AZ as one of his favorite rappers. Now how many people know who Eminem is in comparison to AZ? .....THATS what Phil means about underrated

AZ is a poet, literally. He incorporates everything there is to poetry in his songs. Assonance, consonance, alliteration, metaphor, simile, multi-syllabics, rhyme, imagery..

AZ - Wanna Be There - YouTube

at :45

Needin some form of nourishment, its '88
Skin startin to radiate, hit on my baby face
Mamma bear can see that I'm there, she finally gave me space
Change of pace - movin quicker
Consumin liquor, humpin up on some chick pussy, tryna undo her zipper
Gucci slippers who can diss us? 40 deuce movie pictures
What other way but poetically can I prove these scriptures

at 1:58

Lovin the game you gave me
Lovin my name is A-Z
Never sold millions, but fuck it I'm here to save the babies

Most of ya'll don't know what alliteration is without a Google search so lemme make it easy...basically think of a bunch of words startin with the same letter / soundin the same

at 2:16

Keep all the confrontation
I'm sittin contemplatin tryna crack the combination
Move mystique mostly, must that I keep cozy
At times I creep dol-y this is what the east showed me
More into music makin
Tryna renew relations
Duckin the dudes that hatin


Most of you simple minded niggas would never catch onto shit like that because ya'll call yourselves rap fans not knowing RAP = rhythm and poetry. Emphasis on poetry

Niggas pullin up overrated rappers, dead rappers, rappers we know are nice, & emotional ass rapper niggas that tell the same story in every song.

Fuck with a real rapper...Dude's 9 albums deep and he's never had a wack verse and has always had creative control over his own projects. Dude's debut was on a Nas song and that verse shits on everybody on this site's 1st verse, trust that. Dude was at the table in the Dead Presidents video with Jay-Z & Biggie too

He's a legend in the game that any hardcore Hip-Hop fan would immediately recognize as one of the greatest & most underrated

pULSe alot of people tried to put me onto AZ but ironically I passed..herd a few songs of his you named all this stuff but he was missing one thing...originality...I still think Ko-Tix & Redman are still two of the best underrated emcees...but I guess different strokes...pause
