I can almost agree with that. He has a better chance than Jay-z IMO.
JAY-Z THE MOST OVERRATED RAPPER EVER

There is no way Big L is in that conversation.

The only way Big L is NOT GOAT is because he only had 2 albums. (Remember he was killed at 24
)
Talent wise, he is definitely GOAT. (IMO) Just listening to the material that he did put out and the freestyles (icing on the cake) leaves me with no doubtthat he was the illest to ever touch a mic.
R.I.P Big L

Um, no he is not overrated. But, I think people give him way too much credit.
IMO, Nas>Jay

I love how every other person in this thread is putting someone on *IGNORE*.
I didn't know it was that serious...
BTW, I'm a fan of Jay-Z, but I think he gets lazy on a lot of tracks & doesn't usually live up to his "title".

Pac>Nas>Hov
Maybe he's not #1 when it comes to flow and lyrical abiliy but 2Pac ain't trash. Listen closely to his lyrics and messages, it's very potent. Neverheard any rappers who were more inspirational then Pac.

keep laughing, I'm going off facts like this track they did together. Big L > Jay-z
*edit* btw, this was when both were at their prime. (The Reasonable Doubt / Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous ERA)...let's be real, Jay-z's fame comes from his business success and marketing hype. Open your ears, not your eyes people.

Most overated ? too easy.
Jay-Z.. I respect his business skills but come on... he's not that nice. RD and the blueprint are good albums but not GOAT material.
Nas.. sure illmatic was legendary but he fell off really hard and his music just isn't entertaining. Bad production.
2pac.. it seems everyone puts this guy up there like he is some sort of god.. no. He's not that nice at all.
Lil wayne..
dipset in general
kanye.. wack
gunit
soulja boy.. he's just making his money I guess. I don't consider this hip hop.
T.I..
eminem.. ok, he's nice when he spits seriously but he has a lot of wack comedy type of garbage and there are lots of nicer white rappers. Apathy, Vinnie, RA the rugged man and many man more.
the south in general...guccicome on, what happened to guys like the geto boys for example.
etc... most of mainstream in general. Guys like ghostface, big L, big Pun been doing it harder than anyone above.
Hip hip ain't dead, it's just underground.
All Vinnie Paz talks about is violence and Islam...All R.A. raps about is being white and having sex...seriously he is one of the most one dimensional rappers ever. He had that verse about Vietnam that was decent. Apathy ,even though he's the nicest out of who you mentioned, is still sooooo many leagues below Eminem.
No. Vinnie raps about much more peep the first JMT album (when he was Ikon the Hologram). No way eminem is on his level. I doubt he could even comprehend it.R.A does have some wack songs, but come on, more than eminem ?I think his rap skills as a whole are still better than eminem. Apathy would destroy eminem in a battle. He rips with the demigodz and has some sick punchlines with Celph Titled; and again, in terms of rap talent (flow, rhymes) I think he's better. Eminem just gets d-riden because he is looked as "the best" or "one of the few" white rappers. This is just my opinion though, and I do respect eminem (only when he is making serious songs) but I still put these guys above him in terms of better white rappers.
1. There has got to be something wrong with your brain if you legitimately believe that Vinnie Paz is more skilled than Eminem.
2. Yes R.A. has many more wack songs than Em. Most of his catalog is weak...he only has a little name because he did 1 song with Biggie. (Which Biggie has said he only did for the money)
3. NO WAY IN HELL
And there's no need to name drop all these underground rapper's names...in an attempt to flex some sort of knowledge. I've already been through that phase.
Don't try to kick knowledge when you barely know what you're saying.
Thank You!! I thought I was the only one trippin' off of that statement. Respect to Big L he was fairly nice (freestyle,battling,etc.), but a pioneer?Let's be real...

Okay, maybe "pioneer" was the wrong word, I meant that he was highly influential and impacted the styles of many future artists. He wasn't apioneer in developing rap in general since he came later but he did help expand on the "mafioso rap" style that Kool G Rap created and IMO he did itthe best.

QFT, Big L might even be more overrated than Jay, (as i mentioned earlier in the thread), i hate to speak bad about the diseased but unfortunately it's whyhe's so hyped. L was one of the most TALENTED emcees to EVER grace the mic, dude was FAR from a pioneer though

^Cause it didn't make sense. That track NEVER made sense to me. Dudes act like Jay-Z got his punchlines from other rappers. Jay's illest lines camefrom Jay, plain and simple. How you try to call ONE person out for using something someone else used...in Hip-Hop [\i]? Try again tho. I'm feelinopen-minded

Certainly, but that's just how it is.
