Rappers Who are Really Good but Insanely Overrated
Rappers who are really good but insanely overrated. You can also add other rappers you think are really good but insanely overrated.
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. He's in my top 3 favorite rappers of all time. But everyone keeps saying that he kills every song he is on and that he is the greatest rapper of all time. That is not true. There are some rappers better, and all his fans don't give other rappers a listen besides Dr Dre, 50 Cent, D12, Royce Da 59, or any rapper who works with Eminem a lot
Good? NO. This guy is a sexist, homophobic, whiny jerk. Saying that the greatest rapper is white is not right. Black people started rap and this guy ruined it. I am white myself, but Logic is probably the only good white rapper.
He is a great rapper who has a lot of talent, however, all of his fans don't praise him as a god and refuse to call him overrated.
He's probably one of my favourites but he definitely is overrated especially in his prime (1999-2002)
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American rapper and songwriter. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). He is the highest rated rapper on Metacritic, and I still think he's awesome. But he's not even the best new school rapper in my opinion.
He's great, but not top 10 of all time in my opinion like how many say he is.
His fans just seem a little bit annoying...
Tupac Amaru Shakur, also known as 2Pac, was an American rapper and actor born on June 16, 1971 in East Harlem, New York.

Yes this guy is so awesome and is better than any modern rapper but people are saying he's the BEST RAPPER OF All TIME
He's great but not the greatest or even top 3 in my opinion.
André Lauren Benjamin, known by his stage name André 3000 is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia, and is most known as one half of the hip-hop duo OutKast. Despite never actually releasing an official solo studio album, 3000 has built up a strong following online among hip hop listeners and often ranks very high on hip hop lists. He's definitely good, but he definitely isn't the best or even top 5 of all time like some people say he is.
How com I've never heard of him?

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.

Drake is not "really good"

Eric Lynn Wright better known by his stage name "Eazy-E", was an American rapper who performed solo and in the hip hop group N.W.A. He is affectionately called "The Godfather of Gangsta Rap". He was born to Richard and Kathie Wright in Compton, California. On March 26, 1995 Eazy-E dies from complications of AIDS, one month after his diagnosis, at the age of 30. He's one of my favorites but he is overrated. He did write his lyrics later in his career (when he first started out, he didn't really, but later in the 90s. He did) but the only reason people say he's the best member of NWA is because he's dead. Ice Cube was the best member. Eazy did create NWA but so did Ice Cube. If he was still alive, people wouldn't be saying the stuff they say about him now
Can agree with this. As influential as he was, half his lyrics in NWA was written by Ice Cube and MC Ren.
