Underated and Overated

HeadHuntaz	Date: July 13, 2003 @ 8:02 PM Who are some underated artists.....or overated artists of any genre. Give a reason. In hip hop, I'd say Jay-z is overated, he's in every top 5 list ever. I think Jadakiss is one of the most underated cats ever, he is never on any top 20 lists or anything. What do yall think?
Karmatic	Date: July 14, 2003 @ 11:24 AM Anything in poser-rock is guarenteed to be unbelievably overrated. Poser-rock as in bands like: Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, [Most of] New Found Glory, Avril Lavigne, etc etc.
SoulBeats	Date: July 14, 2003 @ 11:36 AM I agree with AudioSlave. Me thinks that Metallicas song St. Anger is overrated (yeah, sue me) The song has no drum fills, no guitar solos and it only repeats itself.

blooddshedd	Date: July 16, 2003 @ 5:15 PM If I say B.I.G. is overrated somebody is bound to kill me on the spot through the damn computer. So I'll just say that he only had 1 album before he died. 1 album does not make you the best of all time. Now he has 3 albums and the last one has the least number of actual verses on it. Shaq had more albums than that. Thas all I'm gonna say.
HeadHuntaz	Date: July 16, 2003 @ 5:26 PM i think BIG is overated too
HeadHuntaz	Date: July 16, 2003 @ 5:28 PM i think FAB was REALLY REALLY HOT before he dropped an album.....his mixtape shit that he came out with before his first album was some of the best lyrically i've heard. But then he went commercial and messed it all up.
HeadHuntaz	Date: July 16, 2003 @ 5:29 PM one more underated cat..........don't hate.........he is better than a lot of rappers out there now..........my boy..........WILL SMITH

blooddshedd	Date: July 18, 2003 @ 1:38 PM I forgot to say Busta Rhymes that bastard is overrated as a sum bitch
shadeofblue	Date: July 18, 2003 @ 5:10 PM underated - self, placebo, knapsack, kosheen
monsquaz	Date: July 19, 2003 @ 2:58 PM UNDERRATED: -Motörhead Yes, I'm biased towards Motörhead once again, so what ? At least they've had the modesty to never claim that they are heavy metal- in fact, they've INSISTED that they're not ! +25 years of Chuck Berry-inspired hard rock mayhem and they're still not losing it. -Turbonegro Brilliant (and sometimes humorous) Norwegian punk rock. Their music is like the sound of Motörhead combined with the attitude of the Ramones ! Highly recommended. -T. Rex I am no real fan of glam or hair rock. David Bowie was alright, but Marc Bolan's T. Rex made the whole genre into something entirely different. -Hawkwind They've been at it for nearly, if not, as long as Led Zeppelin, but they remain outside of the mainstream. They are known as innovators, even inventors of space rock. Very trippy stuff that Pink Floyd fans would be able to enjoy. Lemmy from Motörhead even got his start here (so there is also a bias here)." id="54835">OVERRATED: -Aerosmith Hang it up you guys, your time is LONG OVER ! -Tool People I know have ranted and raved about how good Tool is, but I personally cannot find anything about the band that merits praise for them in any way. They just do not impress me at all. -Metallica Metallica may have had something going for them at one time, but Lars is a greedy bastard and ruined it all. The way they play is just not my cup of blood, either. And to think this is coming from me, a person who likes Iron Maiden and Judas Priest ! -Audioslave Uhm, lets see here. Chris Cornell from Soundgarden joins up with the former members of Rage Against the Machine. Sounds like an okay idea at first, but Soundgarden was a LOT better than Audioslave, personally. I want to see Soundgarden's former members join up with Zach de la Rocha. Just one time for a laugh would be nice. -Def Leppard UGH. Hang it up, you washed up bourgeois farts ! I can't say ever liked these guys, or any 80's hair rock band with a catalog of songs mostly consisting of ones like Def Leppard's ! I'll stick with T. Rex and Van Halen, thank you very much ! -Poison See above. Replace "Def Leppard" with "Poison". UNDERRATED: -Motörhead Yes, I'm biased towards Motörhead once again, so what ? At least they've had the modesty to never claim that they are heavy metal- in fact, they've INSISTED that they're not ! +25 years of Chuck Berry-inspired hard rock mayhem and they're still not losing it. -Turbonegro Brilliant (and sometimes humorous) Norwegian punk rock.

HeadHuntaz	Date: July 19, 2003 @ 4:34 PM IF I COULD BRING ONE RAPPER BACK, IT WOULD BE PUN..........HE COULD RAP SOOOO FAST AND IT WOULD STILL BE COHERENT AND HOT. HE WAS THE TRUTH.
BeatRippa	Date: July 20, 2003 @ 1:37 AM that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily"-Pun the way he did that was pure hotness right there" id="54906">"Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily"-Pun the way he did that was pure hotness right there
BeatRippa	Date: July 20, 2003 @ 1:38 AM I'd bring back Big L man he was my favorite he had so many quotables it was crazy
sinai	Date: July 20, 2003 @ 4:44 AM Overrated Eminem Audioslave (i agree with ya mons) Every band that ruined tha rap metal sound...that shit is tight when it's done correctly, but for every rage against the machine and hed pe, there were 20 papa roaches Underrated Twiztid Blaze Ya Dead Homie Clown Crystal Method
Nikki319	Date: July 21, 2003 @ 9:41 AM I agree with most of you guys..so I'm just going to say that there are too many to even mention...
monsquaz	Date: July 21, 2003 @ 3:21 PM Best rap metal ever ? Body Count.
Tudris	Date: July 21, 2003 @ 3:30 PM If you don't like them, that's just personal opinion. I don't like some of them, but to categorize them all as "posers" when they actually make their own stuff is just closed minded. Wow. It appears that I'm incapable of posting to a forum without saying more than necessary. Oh well. :P" id="55050">Metallica's new crap is definitely overrated. It's just too obvious that their money took priority over their music. There are too many underrated, unheard bands out there for me to count. They're all over the place. I don't really consider peoples' definition of "poser rock" to be valid. If someone's out there making their own music, writing their own lyrics and chord progressions, more power to them. These are the people we need to encourage, as opposed to people who's lyric writers are hired by the industry depending on current trends and where they would most beneficially be pushed. If you don't like them, that's just personal opinion. I don't like some of them, but to categorize them all as "posers" when they actually make their own stuff is just closed minded. Wow.
