Most Overrated Rappers of All Time

autotune autotune autotune and some more autotune added in there. his lyrics are s*** too. I really dislike him. I don't see how people can stand to listen to him get high and talk for four minutes with an autotuned voice.

He's not overrated, everybody hates him. Overrated does not mean "worst", it means someone or something that is given too much hype and credit.

Wayne claims himself to be "the best rapper alive" But really his rhymes are nowhere near Nas, AZ, GZA, Eminem, Talib Kweli, Immortal technique, Kurupt and many more all of them being still alive

Wayne is definitvly the most overated rapper dead or alive

Look at his fanbase.. Either very young or very phony people, you know you gotta like it to relate to it which explains why phony people like phony rapper

He is awesome I love all his songs

MOST OVERRATED RAPPER OF ALL TIME, next to ice cube, but seriously, his only good album was Reasonable Doubt, and everything after that sucked. Maybe because he started freestyling his lyrics, but that's no excuse. He steals lyrics, most his songs are about money and hoes, he provides little to no clever lyrics a song, and he considers himself the greatest rapper alive. Maybe it's just me, but any rapper who calls himself the greatest rapper alive his already overrated or just truly sucks (lil wayne), its up to the people to decide who the greatest is and to have their own opinions, this is just mine. Love it or hate it.

Anyone who steals lyrics from other rappers is going to be overrated but how people can like Jay is crazy, especially as he has gone really mainstream now.

I can't believe how he gets away with stealing endless lyrics, lose one of the biggest beefs of all time, be a massive sellout and still be considered one of the best rappers. People always go on about Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint and Black Album and that's it, he has like 15 albums and only 3 are considered really good, that's pretty poor. This guy gets way too much respect.

THE most over rated. Not only overrated but Jay-Z's music straight up SUCKS. I don't get why he's gotten so much attention. I cannot listen to any of his song. Straight up corny and whack!

Drake has became really poor! Too many love songs and he can't rap! If he's the future 4 rap were all screwed!

he's just awful except for the song forever than he became a disapointment

He is new to the Rap Game. I for one wished he never joined CASH MONEY RECORDS. - Volcadolacious

Your first album drake was awesome. Now you mail it in. Makes me think Jimmy from degrassi is now harder then you

RUBBISH - listen fools kanye is an innovator his albums are so different - that takes some serious skill. And he kills it in graduation and watch the throne- with some seriously good verses, but college dropout late regestration and yeezus were still pretty good lyrically. The fact that he is voted second is just a stain on this website

Guys we are talking about rap = lyrics kanye gives great music but not great raps

He's an ass but the man manipulates music like few others can. He's earlier stuff is brilliant

WHAT? Kanye is a great artist. Yes, he samples other people's music, but do you even know what sampling is? It's when you take someone else's music and turn it into something completely different. And all music/poetry includes repetition. It's part of music. Get over yourself.

Kanye West is underrated. People get so caught up in the Taylor Swift saga and how he married a Kardashian. Guarantee all the people that hate on him have never listened to his music. Listen to songs like Hey Mama, I wonder, Touch the Sky, and All Falls Down and I you'll realize he isn't an arrogant S.O.B that everyone thinks he is. - Iam_rsdxii

The worst rapper on this list. Not only is she awful lyrically but she sounds like a constipated man forcing out words through that ugly hole she calls a mouth. That butt is fake, her nose is fake, her lyrics are fake. The song "stupid hoe" made me die a little on the inside. Shes awful, should be much higher up on this list.

This list is not for the worst rappers. And I don't really consider herself as one, she is different and has an interesting flow. I'm not saying she's the greatest though... - DarkInk

I don't think I can explain how awful she is in one comment- enough said

Do not get me started on how awful she is my grandma raps better than her and she is FOREIGN and the song she wrote stupid hoe well what is SHE.

Calls herself the queen of rap

Most overrated? Nah he's underrated!

He actually is overrated. I'm not saying he sucks, he just gets more credit than he deserves, especially for his mediocre new stuff. The problem is, people that don't know anything about hip hop are voting on this list and the only two rappers they have heard of is the infamously hated Lil Wayne, and the famously loved Eminem.

There are so many other rappers out there like Nas (and that's a more mainstream example) that are arguably more talented than Eminem. The biggest reason he is listened to so much is because white kids like rap too, but they feel that they have to listen to white rappers to relate, and Eminem is the most mainstream and socially acceptable one out there. Em himself has even admitted that if he wasn't white, he wouldn't be half as popular as he is.

He's like a rapping Jesus. He raps about life and gives messages through his music. On the other hand Lil Wayne raps about stupid stuff and blows at it.

Just because he raps about life doesn't mean he isn't overrated. - hype

How is Eminem even on this? Yes you can consider me a Stan because Eminem is my idol and I been listening to him since age 5 but he is not overrated because he is actually good. He is lyrically superior and musically talented then any rapper in the game right now. He is indeed the Rap god and I'm not trying to ride him but he is the best. Same thing with 50 why is he on here? Macklemore should replace Eminem on this list and Drake should be #1

Overrated doesn't mean bad, it even says it at the beginning of the list... How can you people be so oblivious - DarkInk

He is wack now

He died when he changed to Snoop Lion

Early Stuff was good. Fell of really hard after doggfood witch is his second best work to date. Just listen to his first album with no limit and you will know why he should never be considered a legendary rapper

I used to love the old snoop and now look what he is and does...1. Go from a christian to illuminati devil worshiper...2. Then nation of islam in 2009 for 8 months... Then into snoop lion in august 2012 and change relegion to rastafasrion rasta... Make a song with david guetta that is auto tune singing and was the west coast scene and hanged out with biggie when pac hated him. Who is he? I still love his rap style and old songs...

Nothing But a G thang was amazing
The Next Episode was a great meme
Still DRE was amazing
anything after that piece of crap - xNorway

No lyrical ability, Subject matter is horrible, just a Weed
Rapper, how is he below Nas?

He can't rap. I could rap better than him. He ain't even a rapper. He's an idiot - llamaboy17

This meaning less guy is so terrible I turn down the radio the moment I hear this soft voice

Every friend of mine likes wiz...I hate most of his songs but I exceptionally like Young and Wild and Free and KK

So overrated its not even funny

I don't find him overrated, I mean nobody even listens to him. He had one hit pop song that one only popular because of the dance, the guys a joke.

I know you said, everyone knows he sucks, but he did hae number one with the worst song of all time

Oh crank that soulja boy till he starts getting treated like he should be I'm not saying he is bad he is just not as good as most rappers so soulja boy is over rates by far he will never be as good as Eminem or snoop dog or Lil Wayne

I don't think Soulja boy is overrated. I'm not saying he's good, but let's face it, do you know a single person who is still blasting Crank That. Didn't think so. - Killerdrummer

No story telling? All he does is tell stroies. Have you ever listened to the song Many Men?

You people don't understand that rap and you don't understand what people in inner cities go through. He is real.

50 cent has a good baritone and a good flow. He's a lot more listenable than a lot of the shouters and whiners. He can't be overrated because he's kind of history now.

50 cent is not overrated he just made a good album in 2003

This fat sack of dung definitely needs to be way higher on this list. At least in the top five. I just can't imagine in what universe did this slug ever became a famous rapper. He couldn't spit knowledge if you held a gun to his head, but he lies about being a Miami drug dealer and then steals a guy's name. Needs to be at the top of this list for sure. - PrincelyVirtu

He is my favorite phony rapper. Very delusional in this ability to be a Boss/ King Pin.

This fat prick should be number 1. Fake thug drug dealer no lyrics talks about the same bs over and over.

He is absolute trash lyrically. He does not use complex rhyme schemes. He does not do multi-syllabic rhyming. He does not have any special kind of flow, he just says one bar then the next. He is bland.

I'm embarrassed he is even a rapper people have heard of

He needs to take a shower, brush his teeth, and pull his pants up before he even says anything.

He's an embarrassment to my race. I mean, yo! You know just about everyone in america is close minded and believe whatever the media tells them.

Love Sosa was decent but most of his music is trash - venomouskillingmachine

One of the most underrated rapper in history

He Was In The Worst Song In History Which Was Justin Bieber's Baby

The old Luda was a battle rapper. He still got it, but you gotta piss him off. He's lyrically inclined. You better go back to his old and see what he's really capable of.

He has potential to be great, but the problem is that he almost never takes himself seriously and his lyrics are very predictable. He can only rap about sex in so many ways before it gets old. He needs to rap about his life or something for once. T.I. is way better and shouldn't even be on the list. - DaWyteNight

She can't rap. She's already got success because she's a white girl so white girls like her but her songs a terrible. She's just so fake. Just hope she stops an lets real rappers to it

She's white, so obviously people will know her and if you try to say anything bad about her, you're racist. It's honestly gotten so bad to the point where I say that Nicki Minaj is more tolerable than Iggy.

I'm a white girl who wears Abercrombie, but I listen to Tupac, and I know that she's NOT the realest. She's just a pop act who produces armies of white girls who think their hard core because they listen to "rap". Everyone I know is like that.

Have you ever heard of a good white female rapper. Every white female rapper I've heard of is trash so far we got chanel west coast, iggy, Kardashian and lil Debbie. They all trash

His Raps Suck, the only way he can connect a verse to the next is by saying a similar phrase in Spanish.

To Rap Like Putbull Follow these Steps:
1-say Dale
2-Name 3 Cities Over and over Again
3-Mumble nonsense in Spanish
4-Rap about Sex
5-Act like someone who is on a ton of drugs
6-Bang JLo

I agree! He sounds the same in every single song! It just keeps getting more boring... And yet more annoying!

He ain't overrated. In fact he's underrated. His material before he went mainstream was actually really good but nobody knows about it, people only talk about his "pop" songs. - DaWyteNight

Name a memorable Flo Rida verse. Don't worry I'll wait.

HE SHOULD BE A TOP TEN... BUT THEN HE IS MORE OF A POP SINGER THAN A RAPPER

A rapper who might just be worse than Pitbull and Jason Derulo...

Black version of pitbull

Let's be honest for once! Who hears the words this clown tries to pronounce? Freeze cup was a joke! This whole rapper is a joke!

Yeah Gucci is pretty over rated, I mean he has a lot of music, I mean a LOT of music... But its mostly trash, absolute garbage

Gucci isn't really overrated...no one really knows him. But! I do hate him, he was involved in Break Up by Mario. - WonkeyDude98

Gucci mane is a stupid mane!

He ain't over-rated, he's a rapper from the south who people know him for songs like: Live your Life or Whatever you Like. If its anything, I think he's an rapper who deserves more credit

T. I tell stories with his music he deserves more credit than yall giving him. REAL LIFE STORIES

I still have TI struggle music when he was TIP and only the hood listen. TI now is jingle rapper no heart just another I made rapper. Just making a pay check rapper

TI should be nowhere near this list - DaWyteNight

2pac isn't overrated. He earned every bit of respect that he got. He's about number 6 on the greatest rappers ever list.

Tupac is one of the greatest Artist of all time, And I saw his slighty under-rated in this generation.

Honestly he is overrated. Like most of the people keep on calling him to be the greatest of all time. Most of those people haven't listened even to his all the work. They just keep on chanting Changes, Hail Mary, Dear Mama and Keep ya head up. If you listen to all his work you will realize he is not that special. He was good but not the greatest of all time. He gets all this fame because he died young when he was at his best. So keep on giving this excuse. Biggie gets the same fame, although he was good too. Had Eminem died after The Eminem Show, he would called the greatest of all time. In my opinion Eminem and Nas are the greatest rappers of all time.

Look, 2Pac is good, but he had three good albums and two really spotty ones, three if you count that collab album "Thug Life", he ain't the GOAT and people throw him and Biggie into GOAT conversations, neither of them are warranted.
