I'm not talking about private press rares, i'm talking about artists who are on the radar but still don't get the respect they probably deserve or have been overshadowed by an artist/band they're associated with...
Justin Broderick
Kurupt
Leroy Hutson
Johnny Marr
Beanie Seigel
Nick Mason

also, the Whispers.
This guy is extremely over-rated
Could I also add Leon Sylvers III as a producer to this?
Beanie Seigel was underrated but now he is just a nobody. Dude acts like Jay-Z owes him something.He needs to man up and focus on bringing back that old Beanie Sigel shit that is greatly missed.
definitely; hugely underrated producer.
Willie Hutch,
Bobby Womack,
Rusty Bryant,
Boogaloo Joe Jones,
Stix Hooper,
John Guerin, etc
I think he's crazy nice when he's on, and his longevity is a testament to that. But I wouldn't elevate him more than that.
As much as dudes jock the Sylvers, that Dick Griffey RIP thread was mad chirp when discussing SOLAR records and the impact Leon had on the game.
His vocals on The Mack and Foxy Brown are incredible.
I just dont see dude getting bumped up the pantheon next to the Marvin and Stevie.
Heads know. Old Black Folk know. Its a wrap after that.
I doubt kids downloaded his shit after the UGK hit?

As far as the jazz world it seems like Jackie is underrated and rarely mentioned among the greats yet he has so many albums in my regular rotation
and he wrote and arranged his own albums..... he wrote for the Jackson 5 and countless others.....
can't believe he's remembered only when people mention blaxploitation soundtracks
plus he was in Black Ivory (on drums!)
I'd like to add Shuggie Otis - sure, he's quality but not quantity, and sure, there's music nerds who like him, but still. Feels like whenever I play one of his songs for someone into music but not record-nerdy, their jaws drop.
Brian Jackson
Eddie Hazel
Dude gets plenty of props and doesnt have enough of a catalog do be bumped up the rating system.
Dudes know that Efil4gazzin is REN's shining moment.
I ride for Kizz My Black Azz
