"The most overrated song from [insert great Rap artist/group] is............"
Tue Nov-08-11 07:09 PM by -DJ R-Tistic-

And to be clear..."overrated" as in the song that you feel is seen as one of their best songs, if not best, whether commercially or by their own fanbase. And try not to do the usual, like "I think ALL 2Pac/Jay-Z songs are overrated"...just name the one that you really don't understand the hype about. It can even be a song that you like, but don't feel is as great as folks say.

So yea...we can do this one for Rappers only...just list the artist as a direct reply to this post.

In response to Reply # 1

Also, "Empire State of Mind" annoys the fuck out of me, but I think that's a result of everyone and everywhere playing it to death. I've never gotten so sick of a radio single without actually ever hearing it on the radio.

Because 'Ain't No Nigga' did NOT do it for me and I had never heard 'Dead Presidents' (sue me). From there, I went back to RD and heard 'Politics as Usual' and was hooked ever since...

I like a LOT of tracks like "Everything is fair" and even some from The Love Movement more...I'd never skip it in the flow of an album, but never listen to it on it's own.

In response to Reply # 117

and if you think that it is and it takes away from the enjoyment of the song, I'm curious as to why you feel that way

It was a good song but never cared for it, even when it dropped, all my friends liked it, except me; the rest of the album is dope though.

I kissed hella chicks to the remix in 4th grade. I didn't get the actual album until the reissue a few years ago, and was like EW! It's weird seeing people hype it up on here, cuz it's so ugly to me.

Guess they couldn't clear it, so we got what was on the album (which I didn't care for too much either). Even then, the Debarge beat wasn't epic.

Long story short, I agree.

I use to ALWAYS skip "Raise It Up" for mad years, but once in a while I would let it play thru when listening to "Fantastic Vol.2" but the same goes for the released version of "Forth & Back" after listening to the leaked version of "Forth & Back" with the "Funkin' For Jamaica" sampled version.

That song on Stillmatic, I think it was called rewind. The concept of telling a song in reverse was good but the story/plot and execution were terrible.. I wish someone like ghosface, biggie, or confusion had thought of the idea as they would have executed it a lot better..

similar to Rewind where the concept was better than the execution.

In response to Reply # 61

I see Nas wanted similar production to "Lose Yourself" with the calmness to loud vibe of the beat, I didn't even like Em's song but I can tell hip-hop fans wanted all their favorite rappers to go that route (or jump the bandwagon) and that's what Nas did.

His lyrics were okay but that beat sucked ass, I've heard remixes for both songs that were WAAAAAYYYYY better than those beats.

In response to Reply # 6

These joints were some of the most hyped up of the I Am/Nastradamus era leaked tracks. They eventually made it onto Lost Tapes and are probably my 2 least favorite tracks on Lost Tapes.

A lot of Nas enthusiasts (and I count myself among that group) will still list these tracks when talking about Nas' best work, but they are both boring to me. Probably because of the lame beats, and the lazy ass flow on No Idea's Original. People love to quote this track as some sort of classic example of lyrical mastery, but I find it to have one of the most disjointed fragmented flows. The first half of the verse is pretty weak, the 2nd half picks up and has some quotables, but this shit wouldn't even be in my top 50 Nas verses.

fullback from the Raiders.
The beat might not be everyone's taste but the story is highly engaging. And "No Ideas Original" didn't even get that much hype.

I didn't say it was wack. Overrated is highly subjective.

Blaze a 50 wouldn't sniff my top 100 Nas joints, neither would No Idea's Original.

And the latter had plenty of hype, especially when Lost Tapes came out. The internets was riding that song hard. I used to frequent multiple Nas message boards at that time as well as places like SOHH and AHH, any place you found Nas stans you found people raving about that song.

All I'm saying is, they're my 2 least favorite songs from Lost Tapes and wouldn't clock my 100 favorite Nas joints.

48. "Can It Be that It Was All So Simple"
In response to Reply # 7

I always thought it was the weakest song on 36 Chambers and Cuban Linx. Just kinda uninteresting and convertional compared to the rest.

In fact, I've often called him the most criminally UNDERRATED artist in rap history. And I don't even think it's debatable.

Obvious answer. Good song, but not close to the cream of the crop when it comes to his catalog.

Shit was an ANTHEM. Party song.

Dre pre Aftermath top tier status. Amped up beat. Even the remix.

Selling all those DOUBLE CDs off the strength of that single. back then double CDs were DOUBLE THE PRICE. Still bought it. Even the poor kids at school bought that album.

I'm not going to front, I didn't care for it at first but after listening to the album a month or so (when it first dropped), it grew on me, but it being overrated is a negative.

It's not the norm for them so it fits to me, The Wu doesn't always have to be on some serious shit (ODB for example was fun with it), so to have a fast pace beat with them still spittin' the same stuff they usually spit was nice to me; plus the video is hilarious.

In response to Reply # 44

Most music listeners can't get with songs that don't have a catchy hook or chorus; and "Triumph" doesn't have one at all; but to me that's the whole genius of the song cause it reintroduced the members as Wu-Tang for their second album and it was just straight up lyrics being spat.

Maybe a little too epic for abusive radio/video play (it dampens the message a little), but still that song is always going to be a classic.
What exactly is your issue with the song?

I'd go with "Elevators" (good song but it's like my sixth favorite on just that one album) or "Ms. Jackson" (again - good song, but about my sixth favorite on that album; also the chorus and the "forever? forever ever?" bit were so catchy that they became instantly over-exposed).

I'd have to say Public Enemy: Fight The Power. Although I regard it as a high-caliber song, it really wasn't as lyrically powerful as some people seem to think. It was a load of angry-sounding sloganeering alongside the one line that grabbed a substantial degree of attention: "Elvis was a hero to most..."

In response to Reply # 123

I never cared for SOM either, their voices annoyed the hell out of me, back then east coast rappers had a deep voice while the west coast rappers had high pitched voices that irritated my ears.

Plus I had the Billy Cobham album with "Heather" for mad years since I was a kid so I knew about playing it on 45rpm to rhyme over it, so when somebody finally rhymed over it I was pissed it was these clowns ruining it.

It was six jazz albums I had when I was a young kid and played and rhymed over certain songs before I knew about sampling:

(1)Chico Hamilton "Chico & The Players"
(2)Young-Holt Unlimited "Oh Girl"
(3)David Newman "Front Money"
(4)Tom Scott with California Dreamers "Honeysuckle Breeze"
(5)Billy Cobham "Crosswinds"
(6)Herbie Hancock "Headhunters"
