Jay-z was/is just as much as a Biggie dick rider as Diddy.

Confessions was not a good album.

Nastradamus was not as bad as people make it seem like.

Nas's "N***er" > Hip Hop is Dead

It Takes Two is such a lame song, same goes for Rapper's Delight.

The Neptunes have better beats than Timbaland.

Common, sometimes, can be more lyrically complexed than Nas.

Juelz is not better than Camron, you must be tripping.

Redmans first string of solo albums are considered classic, he can rock without any assistance.

Did you not even read the title of this thread? It's called unpopular opinions. Cam'ron can't rap for shit, at least Juelz has a flow. And at this point Redman really needs Meth.

Difference between unpopular opinions and complete retardation.

Cam used 2 hold his own with Big L, Juelz couldnt even walk on his own two feet until Killa showed him how 2 flow.

Redman needs a lot more than Tical at the moment, Reggie is on the shelf until further notice.

I'm a fan of her, but Christina Aguilera's voice really isn't as good as people say it is. I've watched hundreds of her performances on YouTube and she screeches and strains her way through about 95% of them.

Eminem >>> Jay Z

If you don't like my opinion, oh well, that's your problem dear.

Anyway,

2pac is very overrated. (I'm not saying he's bad, I'm saying he's overrated).

Dr. Dre is never gonna make that album he promised.

Mike Jones should have never bother making a comeback.

Jamie Foxx really can sing, but I really wished he didn't try to become a singer.

Charlie Murphy is funnier than Eddie. (I know that's a non-musical opinion, but I had to say it)

Will Smith was never really that great as a rapper, but Jazzy Jeff was great.

Foxy Brown > Lil Kim

They have good beats though, but not as good as the ones ATCQ had. That case can be made (considering that Dilla was part of the Ummah production team that was behind Quest's early albums).

No I.D. and The 9th Wonder are painfully underrated. Can't argue there. Resurrection and The Minstrel Show are evidence of that.

Guru, and as much as I like him, really need Premier!!!! May he rest in peace, he was at his strongest when Primo was blessing the beats.

Redman is nothing without Method Man. Negative. Redman was one of the top MC's in an era full of great ones. Whut? Thee Album and Dare Iz A Darkside are proof positive of that.

Rakim will always be GOAT rapper, no matter what anyone says. Positively, and that is a very popular opinion.

The Clash really didn't have that many good songs. The case can be made.

Cal Tjader was/is one of the best Latin Jazz musicians of all time. The case can be made.

Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes were really nothing without Teddy P. The case can be made.

Some of Curtis Mayfield's songs are actually better than Prince's songs. Indeed, some of the master's songs are superior to most of those in Prince's catalogue.

Ernie Isley is a very underrated guitarist. Indeed.

1) I know Dilla was part of the Ummah, oh and he also produced Janet's "Got Till It's Gone".

2)

3) He needed him!!!

4) I guess I never cared too much about him except "Pick It Up".

5) Really? Because most people say 2pac is.

6)

7) He's very imaginative!

8) You know it's true!

9) I'll even go as far to saying that Curtis was a genius.

10)

I agree 2pac was overrated...I loved his poetry but I just thought people put way too much emphasis on him.

I also agree that Rappers Delight is a classic but is very corny...fun but corny.

C alifornia destroyed rap music.

I hate Smells Like Teen Spirit; never got into it.

I do not like Beat It anymore since 1993.

As catchy as it was Buddy Holly by Weezer is so corny I always did not like that tune.

Kanye does have the best rap discography to date.

Common was tight but fell off with the Neptunes unfortunatley.

Prince's 2000's material is highly better than the whole 90's era; I could not wait for those days to end.

Jacksons Destiny is only good on the first side..its not classic as everyone says..its good but ..really?

Gloria Estefans music was better with Miami Sound Machine

Ready For The World's first album was better than Around The World In A Day both released in 1985.

This era of underground rap music was better than the 90's period.

Fail > Flop

Jermaine could have really been big.

OC is very good rapper.

Camp-Lo is a very lame rap group.

1999 is more enjoyablr to listen to than PR and Thriller combined.

Mary J. Blige needs new material and stop with all those wife beating/pain songs.

Lloyd Banks has a better flow than 50.

The Game's first album is a classic of westcoast gangsta rap, even though I'm not a huge fan of gangsta rap.

J Dilla is a better producer than Premier, yeah I said it.

MJ "The Girl is Mine" is the weakest song on Thriller.

Non-musical

Will Smith was never a good actor to begin with.

The Wayans Bros. show was funnier than the Fresh Prince.

Which is why this thread is called unpopular opinions, and It Takes Two and Rapper's Delight are lame songs.

JaRule, even though I used to like him, was always a DMX rip-off.

Leave Me Alone and Man In The Mirror are the best songs on Bad.

Ludacris is better than most southern rappers nowadays.

De La Soul is really not that great and Leader of The New School was more interesting to listen to.

Ashanti was NEVER a good singer.

Beyonce needs better material

Ma$e should have never made that comeback in '04.

JaRule, even though I used to like him, was always a DMX rip-off. This I agree with...and I loved me some JaRule too!

Leave Me Alone and Man In The Mirror are the best songs on Bad. NO SIR!!!! "Speed Demon" and "Smooth Criminal" were the best with "Just Another Part of Me" coming in as a close third.

Ludacris is better than most southern rappers nowadays. True.

Ashanti was NEVER a good singer. Extremely true.

Beyonce needs better material. Meh, she's irrelevant anyway.

Ma$e should have never made that comeback in '04. Who? Did what? Oh yeah, he's irrelevant too, how could I had forgotten that.

Liberian girl is the best track on BAD...........vastly underrated.

-Though Gerald Levert is loved and appreciated as an artist in his own right, his father Eddie Levert still to this day, is THE better singer out of the two.

-Diana Ross is not all that talented and extremely overrated

-Let's face it, Tina Turner wouldn't really be all that famous if it wasn't for Ike.

-Janet Jackson is a terrible singer, but a great dancer.

-Madonna is similar to Marilyn Monroe...she's not famous because of her talent of singing, dancing and acting, she's famous for her drive and ambition to get her to the top for the IMPORTANT people to notice her and it worked (by fucking all the right people).

Well....he should have changed his name to something else for his albums and seperate himself from Motown too. It all made it seem corny.

Camp-Lo is a very lame rap group.

only know Luchini...and now that I know Destiny made "Adventures In THe Land Of Music, I dont have to hear that song anymore.

1999 is more enjoyablr to listen to than PR and Thriller combined.

eeeh...1999 is good but I like a little from all his albums...I can do without hearing Lets Pretend Were Married, Free and International lover so much

Mary J. Blige needs new material and stop with all those wife beating/pain songs.

Praise the lort. Thats why shes not selling anymore...these producers not doing shit for her. Raphael has been her strongest link in YEARS recently.

Lloyd Banks has a better flow than 50.

dont listen to them enough to know

The Game's first album is a classic of westcoast gangsta rap, even though I'm not a huge fan of gangsta rap.

I agree

MJ "The Girl is Mine" is the weakest song on Thriller.

noooo..nooo.. -Consuela

Will Smith was never a good actor to begin with.

He knew how to play a couple roles. Persuit Of Happiness was good

The Wayans Bros. show was funnier than the Fresh Prince.

I think so

Ludacris > TI

The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame should change their entrance requirements before the likes of Spears, Timberlake, Bieber and others are positioned next to Jimi, The Beatles, MJ, Stevie, and Prince

The 1960s Brit rock groups appreciated the true heart of American rock n roll.

Chaka > Aretha

Sly > PFunk

Planet Earth > New Power Soul

3121 should have been released before Musicology

Suge Knight knows more than he is telling

Walk this Way collaboration is way overrated

MJ > Elvis

Janet should tour stateside in 2010

Thriller destroyed MTV in the long run

Nas (when on point) is superior to Jay Z

Flavor Flav has tarnished the impact of Public Enemy with his buffoonery

The 1970s RnB/soul music scene > any other era

Real Muthafuckin G's is the greatest dis song ever

When an artist reaches a certain age, we should expect them to tread water and not be innovative anylonger.
