What rapper do you think hip hop fans are the most unfair to?
Posted by adminMar 10
I’m going to say Jay Z because I think a lot of people who claim to hate him only do it because he’s so mainstream. He gets accused of a lot of things I don’t think are true - only rapping about one thing being the main one.
Who do you think gets unfairly hated on?
Yeah MR NR, I should have thought. Oh well, we’ll see what they say.

Lupe Fiasco- nobody gives him his credit and he’s 10 times more lyrical then most of these niggas out now…100times better in the case of lil wayne and soulja boy

Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne, obviously.

I am gonna say Kanye. Only because he’s not all wack. His early stuff is hot. But he’s wack now. But, I think if he rapped 808’s and Heartbreak, it would of been descent. I think he would be more respected if he actually showed his lyricism in his commercial tracks. I think College Dropout was a 5 mic album. And when he raps to those tracks he isn’t wack. See most fans just listen to his new stuff and say he’s wack. The way he samples is nice too. I like his soulful vibe. If he wasn’t as cocky, and didn’t use auto-tune, he would be the best rapper out in my books.
I am also gonna say Bun B. UGK is one of the hottest groups too come out of the south ever. And people are always saying he’s wack, because he is from the south. I think Underground Kingz was the best mainstream album in 2007. And he has always been good. And ever since Pimp C passed (R.I.P.), many people say that Bun B was the wacker one in the group. I think both of them were both nice. You can’t compare two nice flows. And many people call Bun out. And if he doesn’t mention Pimp C in a song, concert, ad, etc.; than you call him out. You can’t do that.
I also wanna say Ice Cube. He is one of the most underrated rappers out right now, and he is a legend, but people say that he’s wack now. You can never do as well as your debut’s. In my eyes, he’s never had a wack album. How many MC’s can say that? Just because he does movies, and TV shows, and stuff like that, people say he ain’t being loyal to his roots. He’s just getting money. And I’m glad he gets respect, because if he had to take it - it wouldn’t be pretty. I think he still has the stamina to rip any MC up lyrically.
Their is a lot of MC’s who get treated unfairly, but they do deserve it. I can name some, but most already know. And Jay-Z is a smart example too. But, the hip hop world is a weird one. One MC has one dope song or album, and then their rest is wack. I just tend to listen to MC’s who are widely respected or are barely know to give respect towards.

I’m going to say U-God. People think he’s wack because of that one song he did. I think he brought alot to the Wu Tang. He contributed alot of dope verses and appearances on top Wu songs - Chessboxin, Protect Ya Neck, Triumph, Winter Warz. I think people make unfair comparisons to fellow Wu Tang members. U-God hasn’t been given the stage of a Ghostface or Raekwon. If he got a solo deal with exclusive RZA production who knows what would have happened.

Soulja Boy….people treat him as though he’s some sort of terrorist, he’s just a wack knucklehead.
Ja Rule also, I mean DMX, Eminem and 50 Cent killed his career, but you’d think they killed him the way he just disappeared and moved away from the public like he did, I’ve never met a Ja Rule fan either, give the guy a break. I don’t find his lyrics impressing, but there’s worse rappers.

@Pierre - Ja deserved what he got. When you have skills as weak as his were and you go after Top Dogs like he did, you deserve to be annihilated. And that’s what happened to him.
S.B. gets mad hate and I think it has less to do with his music and more to do with his ignorance and the way he makes the genre look.

If unfair is they way they are treated, I will go w/ Lil Wayne. He is hated and/or loved way too much. It’s either one extreme or the other. I think he’s nice, but I will not say he’s the greatest. Most folks you see have an extreme opinion of him. Either way with all of his publicity it will make it hard to sell him as a well known figure in hip hop.

In Hova’s case, he has changed considerable in the last few years. I used to be a big fan of his, but I’ve strayed away from him after 02-03. However, with everything he’s accomplished, what else is there to prove? He’s just having fun.
I think Snoop’s another rapper that gets unfair treatment. I think people unfairly label him a sell out because he went away from his "gangsta" roots. As with Jay-Z, he’s got nothing to prove, so why stick with the same thing?
Comment by CaseLoads on March 10, 2010 at 6:14 pm
no i think Jay Z is treated fairly…anyone with mainstream access is going to be HATED or LOVED cuz u hear it so much.. but LIL WAYNE sticks out, people either talk shit without givin him a chance or give him way to much credit

1)KRS-One
He’s hated on for preaching non-violence yet being violent (when he really preaches STOP the violence)
He’s accused of being nonlyrical by the wayne di*kriders.
2)RA the Ruggedman
He’s hated because. . .
because. . .
I guess people just don’t like him because he never went under the wing of a black producer like Eminem and Bubba Sparxxx (?)
3)Wu-tang Clan
People hate on the Wu because they are fearless (crossover with Linkn Park, originated the G-Unit blueprint that G-Unit shat upon), outspoken (against everyone from fifty to soulja boy), and misunderstood (**).
4)Nas
Nas is hated because his whole career he’s put lyrics first
5)Eminem
Eminem is hated on because he’s overrated and therefore an easy target of hate. That being said, I don’t listen to him, myself
and MY main issue with Jigga is he went from being Kane’s protege to being an average MC that sells well.

You took the name right out of my mouth. Jay is my fave rapper. I think people over look how much influence he has. I think people over look how he’s managed to reinvent himself with every album (including Kingdom Come).
