Great list, Phonte is one of the best out there. Have you heard Foreign Exchange? Excellent.
I will say Q-Tip or Common as my main stream guys.
I put my vote in for Atmosphere. Heard him the first time on Tony Hawks Underground 2 and have loved it since. His lyrics are at least 98% relevant and I don’t recall him ever referencing his rims, ice or hoes.

the problem with lil wayne is he drops one hot line a verse and that’s what most people remember. I’m a fan especially of songs such as I feel like dying, something you forgot and bird call remix…but he is overrated

I feel like dying is what really made me start paying attention to lil wayne.

Styles while enjoyable is incredibly one dimensional, he does it well though. Interscope killed his career with delaying his second album the ironically titled time is money. His second album should have came out when locked up with akon was huge or when Marian released the remix of we belong togethor. Third album was rushed and meager compared to his two previous albums. We need that new lox album.
Scarface gets the respect from everyone, I wouldn’t say underrated just forgotten.
Method man could be in jigga’s position if he had better production(got away from rza earlier) and better single selection, why? Oh why didn’t he release say as a single from his last album?

Big Boi is the only mainstream person you listed. mf doom and killah priest are also ass…ok i cant really hate on MF Doom i like his songs Rhinestone Cowboy and All Caps
but anyway the point is to discuss mainstream.

Killah Priest ass? lol you should really rethink that. He has been killing it since “Heavy Mental” bringing consistency in his albums unlike most other industry cats.
I think Scarface is in the mainstream category yet always underrated by most people. Like it that way anyways, cause real recognize real. He’s always killin it.

I’ll say that when he is actually on topic and doesn’t stray too much Lil’ Wayne is a great MC. Listen to his drought mixtapes and his ryhme from Fat Joe’s “We Takin Over” he is on fire at times.
Also Sheek Louch from the Lox.
Lil Wayne is one of the most overrated rappers ever. Some people actually think he is one of the best. His flows are nothing but one liners and wack rhymes, not to mention his voice is annoying.
“I heard somebody say church, ima need a suit / ima need a coupe / i won’t need a roof / flyer than Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice”
“They said I couldn’t play football I was too small. they say I couldn’t play basketball I wasn’t tall. They say I couldn’t play baseball at all. And now everyday of my life I ball.”
WOW great stuff.[/quote]
I cosign with this man. Lil Wayne is the best alive? When did everyone else get shot
x 3 …again lets not turn this into a lil wayne is or isnt thread , as he simply isnt a decent rapper and he most definately an emcee.
any body who tats his face with the statement " i am hip hop" needs his megalomania seen to and too leave the drugs alone.
