    Masta Ace is totally overrated...






    J/K! Naw, I like Ace. He was never the illest of the Juice Crew members but I admire dude's ideas and hustle. He's like the good karma MC to me.

    Breezly Brewin hands phucking down. I wish he was still doing sheit, i dont even know what he's doing...and i always seem to be mentioning him when these type of threads come up. But that dude is so versatile, his flow is sick, it seems really chaotic, but its just this tight ass rhythm, he's got humour and is smooth too, can do the battle sheit swell, and i remember reading an interview saying how he studied music theory and applied it to his flow on some alien sheit but for real...i couldnt imagine another dude doing "Prince Among Theives" as tight as he did, he fit that role like a glove. Clear Blue Skies is treasure. His opening verse on that "The Fire In Which You Burn" track...phuck, why even spit a verse after that, just retire.

    G-Dep had a nice-ass flow (check "Special Delivery" as an example). Diddy just put that wack ass production around cat. Dude had flava and Diddy fucked it up!!!

    How so? The guy has a charismatic voice, nice flow, and some interesting lyrics...

    Or do you just mean that he gets the props he deserves?

    Breezly Brewin

    One of my fav. MC's ever.

    "I'm Gonna Kill U" is forever dope.

    i just saw masta ace live for the first time. one of those things i missed growing up a town that didnt get a lot of hip hop acts. He was still really amazing live and he did the symphony with as much passion as his new stuff. it was kinda inspiring.

    i dont really know what is considered "rated", but i have been listening to a lot of Slimm Calhoun, Kilo G, and Sach. These are not names that get thrown around a lot, so maybe they are underrated.

    I like Jaki Tha Mota Mouth, although I only know two songs by him. Mad funny and quite good IMO. What do you all think about him. Emo-Rap?
