A lot of people aware of Fabolous now might question this post, however, before he intentionally decided to dumb down, he was incredibly underrated. The music from back then still is. Here is why.
The Underrated – Dilla, The Vocalist
Dilla the producer, Dilla the beat-maker, is held in high reverence by anyone who knows Hip Hop. He’s in the same sort of area as Tupac and Biggie are. Dilla, as a producer and beat-maker has become an immortal, infinite, mythic sort of figure.
The Underrated – Blu
Blu is a rapper from California that is getting more and more recognition as time goes on, to the point of him almost not fitting here, in one of these ‘underrated’ posts. He has been around since 2006, and officially since 2007.
The Underrated – Supastition
Supastition is a rapper from North Carolina, who has been around (officially) since 2002, and if you haven’t heard of him, then you are missing out on an artist who created one of the most underrated Hip Hop albums of all time.
The Underrated – Big Pun
Big Pun was (RIP) a rapper from the Bronx, New York in the late 90s and early 00s. During the late 90s was his emergence and prime, and even during a flourishing time in Hip Hop, he stood out like a giant amongst dust mites (no pun intended [no pun intended]).
The Underrated – Masta Ace
Masta Ace is a rapper that has been around since 1988 and hasn’t left since. He’s never fell off either, in fact, he only got better.
The Underrated – Outsidaz
Outsidaz were a group from New Jersey in the 90s and very early 00s, consisting of Axe, Az Izz, DJ Muhammed, Denzy, Loon One, DJ Spunk, S. Coop, Nawshis, Rah Digga, Slang Ton, Bskills and Yah Ya. They never got much recognition as a group but as solo artists, a few of them did.
