Eminem - I'd say most people underrate Encore. No, it isn't good, but if people are give 4+ star ratings to Recovery I'd suggest they give this another listen as it's just as good (or to me, bad). Cypress Hill - I haven't heard all of their output but I do think Temples of Boom gets underrated. Atmosphere - I've only listened to a couple of LPs from this group so no comment. Z-RO - Only heard one album. Outkast - Speakerboxxx is pretty underrated, but I'd also add Stankonia to the underrated list. Tech-N9ne - Haven't heard enough. Too Short - Haven't heard enough. Ice Cube - If EPs count Kill At Will is underrated IMO. MF Doom - Take Me To Your Leader is quite underrated in my opinion. DMX - The Great Depression was the last good DMX album in my opinion and I think it does get overlooked a bit. Grand Champ sucked. | |

Eminem - Relapse Cypress Hill - IV. to me this is easily there most underrated and one of their best Atmosphere - N/A and dont care Z-RO - havent heard all of his albums but ill say Z-Ro vs. the World cuz no one really mentioned that when telling me what to get from him and it may be my fav from what ive heard Outkast - if Speakerboxxx counts ill say that. If not its tough to say. Stankonia is probably underrated by die hard hi hop heads, but Southernplayalistic is probably the most underrated to the average listener Tech-N9ne - The Worst Too Short - im not sure since all ive heard are Life Is, Shorty the Pimp, Short Doggs in the House, Get In Where You Fit In, Cocktails, and Blow the Whislte. I guess out of those id say Cocktails is underrated but i ahvent heard a ton of his others. Ice Cube - i guess ill say Laugh now Cry Later MF Doom - Take Me To Your Leader DMX - ill cosign Half and say Great Depression

| Eminem-I'm gonna with Encore from him, that album actually contains one of my favorite songs from him Toy Soldiers...I would give that album 3.75 stars..it's not as bad as some think IMO! Cypress Hill-Temples Of Boom is a legit effort and overlooked IMO Atmosphere-n/a Z-RO-n/a Outkast-Stankonia to me is overrated..it's not a 5 star effort...it's more like 4 stars IMO Tech-N9ne-n/a Too Short-I'd say Life Is is overrated IMO....that's a 4 star album...Gettin' It is much better IMO Ice Cube-Kill At Will is a 5 star EP IMO MF Doom-Take Me To Your Leader is 4.5 stars but I think it's underrated because there are alot of people who haven't even heard it yet... DMX-Grand Champ is alot like Encore IMO...meaning it's not as bad as you may have heard...it's about 3.50 stars IMO...but I've heard a bunch of heads throw it way under the bus at like 3 stars and below and it's better than that IMO!

| Eminem- Eminem Show (Most talk about MM & SSLP as his biggest albums but this one seems to get shorted)
Cypress Hill- Stoned Raiders (Slang made a helluva good pick with IV so i'll say this one. To me its as good as any of their albums after Black Sunday)
Z-RO- Cocaine (never hear anyone give props to this album. But it ranks pretty high with me)
Outkast- Speakerboxxxx (Big Boi kept Kast afloat with that album)
Too Short- I Can't Stay Away (I think I only skip maybe 2-3 trks on this album, dope outta "retirement" album)
Ice Cube- Bootlegs & B-Sides (Its Lethal Injection on speed!!!!!!!)
DMX- Year Of The Dog (Grand Champ is a good pick but I think this one was better) | |

| Eminem - none (all are overrated)
Cypress Hill - IV (always a dope listen)
Atmosphere - Sevens Travels (not really a good answer here)
Outkast - Stankonia (classic album IMO...overrated by casual listeners, underrated by longtime listeners)
MF Dooom - Vaudeville Villain (only because you don't hear too many people bring it up. This is easily Doom's best rhyming post-KMD. 5 star classic) | |

I'm surprised to hear this Powell. I definitely agree. Trotter would be proud that you like an Monster Island Czars album (sort of). | |

| Eminem- Relapse, Still a 4.25 star album for me. I like it better than Recovery. Powell is crazy for saying Encore. That's easily his worst album and makes Nastradamus sound like Illmatic.
Cypress Hill- Temples Of Boom, Had the misfortune of following two classics but it's still a banger.
Outkast- Speakerboxxx, a fucking AMAZING album. I wish it and Love Below would have been sold seperately.
Too Short- Gettin It, loved the production.
Ice Cube- Raw Footage, to this day I don't understand the hatred for this album. Granted, it's not as good as anything he's done pre-Lethal Injection but it's still a dope ass album and Cube was spittin some knowledge on that album. Easily a 4 star album IMO.
MF Doom- Venomous Villian, Horrendously slept on album. Not among his best but I'd say it's at least 4-4.25 stars
DMX- Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood, Easily his 2nd best album IMO. Lyrically, I think he just as good on this as It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, but the debut edges it out because of better production. | |

If Nas was listed then I would have put Nastradamus for him as being underrated...that is a 3.50 star album and not nearly as bad as some heads have made it out to be... I think your kinda unhinged for mentioning Relapse here..lol...to me that one is about equal with Encore in my opinion but with even less memorable songs...meaning there is no Like Toy Soldiers or Mosh Pit or Evil Deeds or Mockingbird on it...Recovery is waaay better than that one IMO!

I think I had rated it like a 3.25-3.5, But with more listens and time its a solid 4.0 easily. | |

I'd take Beautiful and Underground over any song on Encore easily, and I'd take 3AM over most of them. You're entitled to your opinion (crazy as it may be) but I wholeheartedly disagree. I can see why someone would like Recovery more than Relapse, but not Encore. I do agree with your opinion of Nastradamus though. While it's his worst album and most disappointing, I don't think it's among the worst ever made. It's not even the worst from 1999. As for Nas' most underrated album, I'd say either I Am or Street Disciple. Probably the former though, because the latter is fairly acclaimed among Hip Hop Nation from what I've seen. | |

| Actually Slang I normally don't give a fuck my dude.....just look at my -10 in the "Just To Get A Rep" category...lol
the only way to get some internet "man" love on here is to e-kiss and e-lick each others balls by constantly agreeing with everything mentioned on here from the forum regulars as being dope...lol (I need to follow your example a little bit more I guess...NOT!)
that would mean I would have to actually like that shit that Romped is big upping on a constant basis and that just ain't happening mane....lol
nah but I love to debate on here, I just ask that you make sense, that's my only requirement! ex. telling me that Ghostface Killah does not have a valid opinion on the state of hip-hop in 2011 because he does not feel like "digging" for new music sounds like a Beavis state of mind to me mane..... | |

| Eminem - Relapse (People either liked it or didn't until Em started ishing on it and now it's some terrible album? Nah, Relapse is crazy dope, easily Em's most lyrical (not best overall) album)
Z-Ro - I'm Still Livin' (Idk if it is underrated per say but it is my favorite Ro album, and I haven't had anyone else agree with me)
Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (Everyone talks about ATLiens & Aquemini (which they should), but this debut is no slouch at all. This is a great, great album.)
DMX - The Great Depression (It has what I consider X's best song, "We Right Here", on it. Plus, I never hear anyone bring this record up.) | |
