His flow and rhymes are amongst the best in the game. I can understand if you say his style or production isn't your taste but his talent is undeniable.

I like all the valid opinions expressed in this thread. By "opinions" I mean pictures.

Anyway, I think Eugene V. Debs is a very underrated dude. I'm biased, him being a fellow Hoosier, and specifically a resident of the home of my alma mater; Indiana State U. He was basically the founder of American labor unions, during a time of severe mistreatment of working class factory workers, and also a five-time Presidential nominee, his last campaign run from his jail cell.

I have to agree with starface on this one. If Common rapped about *****es and hoes people would recognize him for the mediocre rapper he is. He is shielded from criticism because of the image he has as a "conscious" rapper. His flow and wordplay are at best average, and he has been coasting off of "I Used to Love HER" and his beef with Ice Cube.

QBs didn't look at him...they were scared sh*tless to throw his way because they knew there was a better chance of Deion scoring a TD than the WR...

They're not like every other rap group out there. They're much better than most. A lot of groups/rappers just do the 'money, drugs, hoes' thing while they don't. They have production, flow, beat, lyrics, etc. while many rappers are lacking in some/many areas. They're rather influential, as well, and not in a crappy way like Lil Wayne.


The 5 percenters and black muslims I know dispise them.

I don't really care for Islam or any of it's offshoots like the Five-Percent Nation, and I'm pretty sure that I don't care about your friend's (I'm guessing here) crappy taste in music and religion.

Mediocre flows and cats who try to fit too many syllables in a bar are a dime a dozen. If he was capable of more I am sure he would handicap himself with that meh style. The Wu as a group is what is really overrated.

Charlie Parker's tone and flow were his greatness. RZA's tone and flow is a liability. His inability to free-style proves my points. He has a good vocab, his lyrics read great on paper, but he lacks the flow to competently pull them off. When it is RZA's turn to flow on a Wu posse cut the track bogs down, and he ****s it up. He is like the Wu's Michelle Williams(Destiny's Child).

I agree that the Wu is a very good hip hop group and when judging by their body of work they deserve consideration when discussing the greatest groups of all time but it's still his opinion either way you cut it. We may both think they are excellent but amongst most hiphop/rap fans they get plenty of credit.

From that post I gather you have reading comprehension problems. Yes, I know they have songs like Wu-wear: The Garment Renaissance, C.R.E.A.M., Ice Cream, and How High. I said that money, drugs, hoes was the only thing that some rappers/groups rap about, but not for the Wu. They touch on a wide variety of topics and I like how they do it more than any other group. Do they go around in all of their videos trying to show off all their cars while popping cristal and then pouring it down some skank's asscheeks? No. I don't have a problem if someone wants to rap about money, cars and hoes, but not when it's the only thing they do.


Run DMC catalog is timeless.

To you it is, to me it isn't. Some of it is cheesy, corny and a bit dated to me. Plenty of '80s rap is dated to me.

I don't think that is a fair explanation of why Warhol is "overrated." Say what you will about his political agendas, social affiliations, sexual orientation, or whatever else you want to criticize, but what he is known for (and therefore, what he is generally "rated" as) is an artist, and the fact remains that he is one of the most important and influential artists of the post-war period.

If you determine that he is overrated just because he was "useless and associated himself with pretty useless people as well," then that eliminates a lot of other phenomenal artists as well.

At least to me, Pearl Jam is definitely not overrated, though their first album is. They just keep getting better with time, even though they are thoroughly outside the main stream.

Hard for me to say that Pollock is underrated; by far the most famous of the action painters and his work is probably tied with that of Rothko for the title of most recognizable works of abstract expressionism.

Eva Mendes overrated? Are you insane? She is a goddess, i think I'm in love. She's a great actor and nobody even talks about her. Very underrated.

Denzel, while a very good actor, is a bit overrated. He's falling into the Pacino niche of basically playing the same character over and over.This is true IMO. He is one of my favorites though. He did do a different style of acting in 'Manchurian Candidate' than his normal stuff but they weren't extremely shocking performances. Don Cheadle is a better performer IMO and is underrated.

Now, Gary Oldman is a shocking performer and very underrated. :bowdown:

Also, I never hear any praise for Sean Penn's performance in 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon'. Unbelievable!

Bingo! We have a winner!

Watched him live at a friend's house and it was the worst rap performance I've ever seen or heard. :(

Mike Tyson is the most overrated athlete in history. People still buy into the myth of a guy who dominated a severely weak division. He was exposed time and again, but people want so badly to believe he was unbeatable at 19...

IMO, no one comes close to the overrated-ness of Tyson... at least, not in sports.

Michael Phelps. People think he is the greatest swimmer of all time but he was exposed this olympics he couldn't even get 8 for 8 World Records..

Truth is he was just dominating a severely weak division of average swimmers.

I can tell you. It's because Ali's GOAT status is all marketing. He wasn't even better than Frazier.


:roll: Ali marketed himself.... And he rhymed, he joked, he made a show out of the pre-fight hype... and he was an entertainer in the ring.. the best ever

to top it off he stood up against the war and was even stripped of his title. He did it on principle....

ali is not Overrated

Ali's "out of the ring actions" made the media boost him to the GOAT. He couldn't even take a punch that well. I donno if he's in my top 3 pound-for-pound all time.:roll:Couldn't take a punch that well? Does rope-a-dope ring a bell? The worst thing to happen to Ali as far as his long-term health was the realization that he could take a punch.

If you had some knowledge about boxing you would know that Alis chin was one of the best. Not as good as Chuvalos or Cobbs but not far behind.
