Top Ten Most Overhated Rappers
Armando Christian Pérez, better known by his stage name Pitbull, is a Grammy (and Latin Grammy) winning Cuban-American rapper, songwriter and record producer. This guy actually is capable of writing good raps, he just chooses not to. Flo Rida is more of a party rapper but Pitbull actually can spit. He's definitely not Nas or Rakim or anything like that, but he's better than most people make him out to be.
Ye (born Kanye Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century. ...read more. Should be #1. People only hate him for his personality, which doesn't even affect his music, which is amazing.
Deserves the hate. He doesn't even write his own lyrics and his rapping isn't even good.
Colson Baker, better known by his stage names MGK and Machine Gun Kelly, is an American rapper and actor, from Cleveland, Ohio. Never understood all the MGK hate. In 2018 people hate him because of the Eminem beef, but before I don't know.
Marcus Jamal Hopson, better known by his stage name Hopsin, is an American rapper, record producer, director and actor from Los Angeles, California. Hopsin was born on July 18, 1985. His first album was called Emurge but he's best known for his album titled Raw. The hate this guy gets is unreal. Then again, most people who hate on him don't have any real reason to hate him other than saying he's "corny." Another thing I've noticed is that most people who think Hopsin is trash think Kanye West and Drake are great rappers, which means that their knowledge of hip hop in general is very undeveloped and their opinion has little value.
He's both overrated and overhated.
Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist.

He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys.

One of the worst lyrical rappers.
The old Boosie was a good rapper (not a lyricist) but a good street rapper, but nowadays he's kinda turned into a clown.
Michael Wayne Atha (born December 30, 1979), better known as Yelawolf, is an American rapper from Gadsden, Alabama. In his early years, Yelawolf released his first independent album "Creek Water', which was released in 2005. During 2005 to 2010, he released one extended play (EP) and four mixtapes. One EP, titled 'Trunk Muzik', amassed a strong attention that would follow the rapper's signing a record deal to Interscope Records, which re-released the mixtape as 'Trunk Muzik 0-60' later that year. ...read more. This guy is actually really good when he wants to be, but some people just hate him and think of him as a "white trash rapper."
Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998 - June 18, 2018), known professionally as XXXTentacion, and often referred to as X, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and criminal. He's both overrated and overhated, but more overrated.
Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation". I used to think he was overhated, but now days he deserves most of the hate he gets because he is so generic and doesn't write his own lyrics.
Ameeer Pipi, better known by his stage name Lil Meerkat is a Canadian rapper and singer-songwriter. He is known for his infamous remix of the popular Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody". He released his debut studio album "Weeaboo Paradise, Vol. 1" in November 2018. He is a parody artist.
Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, better known as Logic, is one of the most influential artists in the rap game today. He was Born on January 22, 1990, in Gaithersburg, Maryland and first gained major fame through making 2013's edition of the XXL Top-10 Freshmen List and has easily become the most successful in that entire class (Only Schoolboy Q, Joey Badass and Chief Keef come close). Logic even got more popular in 2017, when he released his song, 1-800-273-8255. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Music Video and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. It also reached number 1 on the billboard charts. It was on his album, Everybody. The hate this man gets is also undeserved, mostly because people give no good reasons for saying he isn't a good rapper. Some people even act like being lyrical is a bad thing.
He doesn't get hate, his albums Supermarket and Confessions are hated because they were garbage.
Shawn Corey Carter, known by his stage name JAY-Z, is an American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur and investor born on December 4, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his albums Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. He is considered to be one of the best rappers of all time. He's an overrated, cocky useless sellout we don't need in rap who steals lyrics and the styles of other rappers, he deserves more hate.
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil.
Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide. Dude, Eminem doesn't get any hate. He's the most overrated rapper of all time and he's not even Top 10. People treat him like the only good rapper though.
Aaron Dontez Yates, (born November 8, 1971), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne, is an American rapper. In 1999, Yates and business partner Travis O'Guin founded the record label Strange Music. He has sold over two million albums and has had his music featured in film, television, and video games. ...read more. I've only seen 1 person in my entire lifetime hate him. And I think he was trolling.
Algernod Lanier Washington, better known by his stage name Plies, is an American rapper. He is known for his singles such as "Shawty", "Hypnotized", and "Bust It Baby." Unlike his sing-songy singles, Plies' albums mostly contain realistic material about the street life and trying to survive. His first album, "The Real Testament", was released in 2007, followed a year later by two more albums, "Definition of Real" and "Da REAList", respectively. He released his fourth album, "Goon Affiliated", two years later in 2010, containing the dirty rap single "Becky." Since then, Plies has not released another album, and he has been releasing mixtapes instead. He is somewhat overhated, but I get why he's hated with songs like Becky and bruh bruh. Plies' worst songs have always been his most famous ones.
Plies songs are ridiculous.
Sure maybe he says his name a bit too much, but he's fun and his first album was good.
Amethyst Amelia Kelly, born June 7, 1990 known professionally as Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model. People think shes decent and better than most female artists but she's a pot of garbage. Even Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have spit way better than she has.
She isn't good, but at least she can spit better than say, Cardi B.
Willard Carroll "Will" Smith, Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, comedian, producer, rapper, and songwriter. He is best known for his acting career overall. He has been in many popular movies, These include, but are not limited to, the Men in Black franchise, The Pursuit of Happyness, ...read more. There's literally no reason to hate him, other than his raps being "clean." But then again, Rakim didn't need to curse either and he's considered one of the best rappers of all time, so it's really stupid to hate Will just because he didn't curse.
Eric Kaiser (born 9 September 1970), better known by his stage name K-Rino, is an American rapper and record producer from Houston, Texas. He is a pioneer of the Southern hip hop scene, and has been rapping since 1983. K-Rino's first release was the single "rocking It" with his group Real Chill in 1986, and he founded the South Park Coalition collective that same year. K-Rino has spent his entire career as an independent artist, and has released all of his albums since 2004 on his label Black Book International. The only people I've seen hating on him are Eminem fans. Even though he isn't really overhated for me. Because I really like him but he isn't overhated or overrated, he's underrated.
The funny thing is that usually the people hating on him are fans of Lil Wayne and Kanye West, which means they know absolutely nothing about hip hop.
Jermaine Lamarr Cole, better known by his stage name J. Cole, is an American hip hop recording artist and record producer. I get why people clown him for all of his fart lyrics, but then there's those dumb people who say he's "boring" who would probably rather listen to Drake instead.
People hate him for being corny and boring but he's really good.
Tupac Amaru Shakur, also known as 2Pac, was an American rapper and actor born on June 16, 1971 in East Harlem, New York. Tupac sold over 75 million records worldwide and has been referred to in multiple major publications such as Rolling Stone as one of the greatest music artists of all time. 2Pac was assassinated on September 1996 at the age of 25. ...read more. Literally see no reason to hate him, at all. Sure he is overrated, but imagine hating Tupac just because he is overrated.
People hate Tupac?
