The 25 most Overrated things in hip hop history

[trynafeelmink]

This is one of the dumbest list i ever read and the fact that half of yall agree shows me what im dealing with. 
All eyez on me, Tm101, RD, and life after all overated.

Jada overated, CB got bigger because of beating rihanna

, the %%#+$ facing 5 for snatching a phone

 

[HTownsOwn84]

I agree with about 75% of everything on this list and how is nicki minaj not on  this list?

Not gonna lie. I've always felt the same way about Reasonable Doubt. People didnt start calling that album a classic up until the time he dropped the Blueprint album.

Big Pimpin was not what put Jay into the mainstream! 



If it was not for "Can I get a" Jay would not be where he is today.

I see the way you guys are thinking now, you're thinking in terms of the pop charts, what you would call "mainstream" -Billboard etc. 

What I'm saying is that the majority of hip-hop fans in '96 already knew who Jay Z was and checked for RD. I'm not saying it was an instant classic or that dudes were spazzing out upon hearing it and predicting right off the bat that Jay was gonna blow up the way he did. But I never said that -I merely said it was appreciated -which it was.

-the way that article words it makes it sound as if he was a total unknown entity. Check the end of year positions for the urban/specialist charts and I'll bet you that RD makes the top 10 in any of them.

Like someone else said, I was into the scene deep at that time, I know how it went down because I lived it. Not that it even matters, but I was 19, it's not like I was a little kid.

And I'll also agree with one comment -1996 is my favorite year for music.

Complete blasphemy on Reasonable Doubt.

Who the f cares if it didn't have commercial impact back then? It doesn't take away from the fact that it is a GREAT album and has material and production worthy to compare among the best of all time. It was an underrated album that flew under the radar and has finally gotten its proper due.

Dre Beats are pure trash!
Ether was overrated so is Lil Wayne but im sure everybody knows that..

you was a 80s baby probably you was in your teens or a full blown grown man hearing big & pac...probably understood them  better & connected

not trying to hear big or pac at that age

I'm not understanding how it's a dent in his armor to have an album that is considered one of the best in HIPHOP HISTORY NOW. If ya'll claim that it was overlooked to that extent in the 90's what does it matter when damn near everyone with a respectable opinion in Hiphop will put it amongst there tops now.
Not to mention yall are acting as if nobody knew this album dropped, hell Tupac dropped "The 7 day theory" only 4-5 months after RD dropped and it was clear that he knew Jay-Z was one of the few coming for that spot. Ya'll arguing about how "irrelevant" the album was when it dropped only makes the case that it's overated seem dumber when considered how fans & publications worldwide have scored and reviewed the album.
