Overrated rap albums commonly thought highly of...

[Ruslan`]

I am a new found Nas fan and Illmatic is 100% the most overated album of all time. It Was Written is clearly better, and I'm starting to like God's Son and Street's Disciple. Anyways, Illmatic is for sure a top 15 album all time, not top 5.

I might say Blueprint is overated as well but that's only because people rank it above Black Album. BluePrint is a classic just like the Black Album but it is sometimes labelled as his finest work which is incorrect.

lol that's bull**** everything you said..
blueprint is Jay's best work with RD 2nd.
Illmatic not top 5?? name me albums u think are better plz...and seriously u considered on saying that streets disipline (nas' worst album) is on the level of Illmatic?
How old are u idiot?

[JtotheIzzo]

anything from the South that isn't ATLiens.

Ok, well I'm going to include 3 Jay-Z albums because you can't just add wacky rules to anything like that.

No order:
black album
blueprint
reasonable doubt
it was written
i am
stillmatic
2001
GRODT
carter II
Marshall mathers lp
slim shady lp
eminem show

well this is all I could think of. Looks like it's number 13 on my list. I didn't include any Pac/Biggie either becaue I didn't listen to their albums fully.

First of all I think you're a ****ing retarded because u think u know a lot about hip hop yet u claim to never listen to any Pac/Biggie album fully. They are 2 of the greatest and if u haven't listened to any of their album, ur opinion = ****.
next, how can u put GRODT and carter II ahead of Illmatic? Unless u ****ing 10 yr old who never listened to old school hip hop, which I believe u are. it's a shame to me that u think those albums stand any chance against Illmatic..U better go back and listen to the lyrics and message in Illmatic and read the reviews. consider the fact that Nas was Soulja boy's age when he released Illmatic..
I think u should never speak on hip hop again on this board cuz everything u say is offensive to everyone who is a true fan.

Illmatic is 100% the most overated album of all time.

BluePrint is a classic

just like the Black Album

And that would be what we call, Strikes 1, 2, and 3. You're out.

Are you serious? Those two albums are not even close to on illmatic's level, and I'm just talking about Nas's albums. There is no way in hell you can even say GRODT and carter II are even close to the same level as illmatic...

I might catch alot of grief for this but I really think that The Lost Tapes are Nas's second best album after Illmatic. Either way, the things you put in front of illmatic are frightening .

[sergiorodriguez]

the blackstar album, as well as reflections eternal, heck ok black star album, any talib kweli album and any mos def album are way overrated

[IInvented]

Nastradamas is a good album...

[sergiorodriguez]

Nastradamas is a good album...

no its not its the worse thing Nas ever put out even worse than streets disciple

[Jackass18]

All of Jay-Z and Lil Wayne's overrated sh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t.

[ROCSteady]

those would be my nominations

U out of your damn mind. This album is as solid as they come.

Starface hates GZA and all of his fans. Didn't you get that memo? We've gone at it several times in the past. His posting of Liquid Swords was inevitable.

any rap album created after the year 2000 that is thought "highly of" is overrated...

You constantly come into hip hop threads and say something to this effect. You have also stated over and over again that you have not actively listened to the music. How can you judge something that you have not listened to?

actually i think we've reached a point where you could watch the videos for this stuff with the sound off, and confidently be able to say "Yes. I am positive this must suck."
