Jadakiss: A very good rapper with occasional memorable bars when it comes to guest or group verses but extremely underwhelming as a solo artist. It's comical every time I read a comment from somebody saying he's top 5.
Papoose: Very similar to Jadakiss minus the classic memorable bars, he's another rapper whose name has rung out more than it should considering the fact he's a wack artist with a dismal catalog.
Fat Joe. His rise to popularity is amazing, considering how average he's always been as a rapper. Yes, he has a memorable voice but nothing special, hailing from D.I.T.C. I can't believe he's the one that blew up compared to the likes of O.C.
Big L: His debut is often viewed as a classic, and I won't dispute it, but his death has overrated him. I'm not a big fan of his style; he's a little too “raw,” if that makes sense; hearing him rap feels like I'm listening to a long, neverending freestyle.
Remy Ma: Constantly hailed among great female artists such as Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, etc. She, just like her husband, is often touted or spoken about as if they were among the greats of their class, the late 90s and early 00s; she has a nonexistent discography, no classics, memorable lyrics, etc.
MF Doom: No disrespect to the dead, but this man has always been overrated among the nerd backpack cac rap base, and at no point in time was Doom ever among the greats of his era, let alone even relevant. A decent but gimmicky artist.
Method Man: It pains me to say this because I do think he's a great rapper with a memorable style but his catalog is sadly terrible. Outside of Tical, Tical 2000 and Blackout Meth has had a very underwhelming career musically. Luckily for him, being a part of Wu helped overshadow his lackluster solo career.
Redman: Similar to Meth, another great rapper whose solo career was vastly underwhelming, although I will give him credit for having 3 classics under his name but towards the tail end of the 90s, he fell off badly and became a gimmicky artist.
