Former Vibe & The Source Magazine columnist Allen Wiggins reflects back at some of the most overrated rappers,moments and things in hip hop history.
25. Chris Brown
Sure the dude can dance and is immensely popular with the gossip sites, but in reality, he can’t sing and is hardly ever in synch with the melody of his songs. Had it not been for the Rihanna controversy that bolted him into new heights of infamy, he’d be known as the guy who can do back flips and dance around on stage like he’s running from a bee.
24.Thug Motivation 101
There’s no question this album launched Jeezy into the mainstream, but lets not pretend like this was a ‘Doggystyle’ or ‘Ready to Die’ type debut album. Was it really necessary to follow up with Thug Motivation 102 and 103, and have a 5 year anniversary party for Thug Motivation 101?.
23. The Crunk Movement
Although Lil Jon and the rest of the ATL crew dominated the radio and clubs in the mid 2000s, none of the shuckin’ and jivin’ actually translated into record sales. It came and it went without ever making a real dent on the billboard charts.
22. The Hyphy Movement
The ‘Hyphy’ movement had been simmering around the Bay Area for many years prior to transitioning into mainstream notoriety in late 2005. The Bay had it’s chance to display their own culture and lifestyle to the rest of the country, but they quickly realized that nobody cared. And the Bay hasn’t been heard from since.
21. Life After Death
The most difficult task in hip hop is to create a double CD without fillers, and as blasphemous as it is to criticize the late great B.I.G, Life After Death had too many songs that diluted the album. Strip the album down to 12 songs and you have arguably the greatest album of all time
20. Rick Ross Getting “Exposed
