Okay....I'm thinking about doing this post for a while now...but I just haven't gotten a chance to get to it....but I think there are a few rappers in the game that are overrated. Now some of these artist on this are some of today's biggest act in the game...but for the life of me I don't understand why because they are not that nice.
1) Young Jeezy-Every since he first came out...I was highly skeptical of his skills. Jeezy is catchy but as far as lyrical skills-they don't exist. Example...
"Inside fish-sticks/Outside tarter sauce/" (I Put On)
or
"Its like my old job/but a little different/I use to work at Church's Chicken/" (Boyz N The Hood)
I don't care what you say he is not that nice.
2)TI-I don't care what you say...he is just okay. He had 2 dope albums to me. "Trap Musik" and "The King" everything else has just been sub par. I don't want to sound like a hater because I am TI fan, however, I think he needs to expand his subject matter. After a while I get tired of hearing dope boy this...dope boy that.
Again I like TI but when I compose my list of the ten rapper in the game...he is not one of them...but media treats him like he is the great...he is not.
3)Pappose-So much hype- no album or nothing. He can spit with the best of them on a lyrical level, but he hasn't put together a song yet. Hell of a talent but he needs some type of coaching...and hanging around Kay Slay and beefing with Fat Joe is not the way to go. Speaking of Fat Joe
4)Fat Joe-Oh my goodness. You want to talk about an artist being overrated...he really should be number one on this list. Fat Joe is horrible but for some reason he thinks he is the baddest man in Hip-Hop. I really can't tell you the last time I heard I dope Fat Joe record. Maybe it was "Don Cartagena" and that was '98. Not enough skills to be consider that good.
5)The Game-I struggled with putting him on this list, because I like the Game. He has done a lot for the west coast and as a west coast native I can appreciate that. However, his flow is lazy and he talks about the same stuff over and over again. 64 this....Dr. Dre that....How many times is he going to make reference about another artist in his records. When The Game puts his mind to it (Old English) he is one of the best, but he doesn't do it that often. For so much hype about him and his album, I never really get the real Game..instead I get reminders of other rappers.
