He doesnt get overlooked. Internet geeks tried to pump him up on the internet back when a long hot summer came out. But he wasnt dope enough to become THAT nikka,so he's not looked upon as being that nikka

Was just coming in here to say that... OP, there was a time when if you considered yourself a "real" head ... a "real" underground head, you had to obligatorily mention Masta Ace. If you didn't mention him, you'd get the

He was propped up to be the torchbearer at one point. Also like how people reflexively say Pac, Big, Nas, Jay, Face...

Ace was in the same realm on a lower tier. then it all faded. I never hear his name anymore.

Because he's obviously not on their level or anywhere close





I will say this though: The highlights on "A Long Hot Summer" are still the best 'grown man rap' I've ever heard

Neg pending

He's got a great catalog but when it comes to MC skills, he's know where near the cats you mentioned

1 of my favourites but he's got a crazy amount of corny lines...

"Y'all think I'm washed up like I got in the tub...."

The song & whole album though

I can remember in 2005 everybody was dikk riding Common's 'BE', good as it is....ALHS was much better.

It's no even as bad as "You look so good I'll suck on your daddy's dikk"

all these goat rappers have questionable lines

Masta Ace is a GOAT and in terms of live performances breh puts on a show

First off Sittin on Chrome is easily the most entertaining Ace album but in reality it's more than just ace...In fact, I'm sure people in here will laugh but Lord Digga is infinitely more interesting to me than Ace....The production on Sittin On Chrome is incredible...Phat Kat Ride probably my favorite song
