The very definition of overrated. Their fame and fortune is on loan, and not for their talent, but for their fealty to their masters. They know it, too, which is why half their videos make mention of the fact that they sold their soul but hey! at least I'm rich. Which is usually just before their untimely death by either suicide or overdose. Or both. Being a slave can be depressing, even if you're swimming in other people's money.
Underrated is most of the artists on Rhymesayers Entertainment or Strange Famous Records, who don't get grammies, don't make the one-eye sign, don't have videos, promos, and album photos full of demons and imagery of themselves: a) in chains symbolizing slavery, b) broken into shards symbolizing dissociation, c) surrounded by occult and masonic imagery symbolizing their masters, and d) as robots symbolizing their status as controlled.
Any money and sales they make is because they're actually talented writers and performers, and are under their own control, and have true freedom in their art -- and in their public and private lives.
The one-eye artists have masters.
And they know there's only one way to leave, once they're in the club. But they knew what they were signing up for -- the proof is in their lyrics and videos -- so I don't feel too sorry for them.
I'm trying to imagine what a mature rapper would sound like. As if some great rapper achieved the age and status of, say, Johnny Cash or Van Morrison or Eric Clapton or Robert Plant or B.B. King, when they grew old and matured in their art and performance, and kept producing music that respectfully aged in accordance with their own age. Instead of trying to sound like a perpetual 25 year old.
I can't imagine it because I haven't seen it yet. An old rapper who sounds like an old rapper, and who does it justice.
Lil Xan
Lil Peep
Etc...
My opinion is that synthesizers, midi controllers, and turntables *are* actually real instruments, and anyone who thinks it should only be guitar, bass, drums, pianos, and vocals are simply boomer-like luddites.
Half of Johnny Cash's output was by definition, rap. That's not singing. It's talking rhythmically over a beat and instrumental track. But nobody says "that's not music, man".
I guess it's only when black people do it that it's not music?
See my lengthy post about the one-eye people. Those are all one-eye people, and are all vastly overrated. Their fame and fortune is not due to talent, but negotiation. They paid for it. They took the ticket that was offered, and now they have to ride the train.
Great stuff. How in TF is it getting 300 million views and making block buster money?!

Essentially lol
Boomer? Dawg I'm 26 and have been around the hood myself. I was the only white guy in the neighborhood for two years.
Not all non-white people like s*** music.
Furthermore, most of the Hallmark Dan and Pams I know who are older than me don't like it either. You feel a vibe, that's great, have you heard the lyrics or have any clue what goes into the production? No, that's why most of you figure out they aren't doing jack when you eventually go to a concert and see for yourself.
By that logic anyone that isn't a 12 year old suburban white kid is a boomer.
I listen to Tec, $B, Pouya, Ramirez and all the old school stuff like 2Pac, B.I.G, Bone Thugs, Easy, House Of Pain, The Dayton Family... The difference is, none of that is mumble rap and some their music is actually contextual... and I'm also a guitarist who is big into metal music.
Modern consumers and their radio music.
Drake sucks too. How you gonna be a rapper Degrasi? Come on.
I used to think Lil' Wayne was pretty overrated but my opinion on that's changed over the years.
Some of the newer rappers coming up aren't my style either. I grew up listening to D12, Tupac, Biggy, Xzibit, Twista, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Tech N9ne, Nas, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, etc. Basically the rappers of the Aughts.
I sort of explained how in my lengthy comments above. Their fame, which includes their "views" and "likes", etc., is manufactured. It's something they paid for. Their contribution, their payment, to the initial and the ongoing (forever or until death) business arrangement is their lives. You do what you're told, for the rest of your life, and we will make you famous.
This arrangement is prevalent in rap, but also in every other popular music genre. And in modeling. And in acting. The biggest clue to whether an artist has taken the ticket is if they pose for the magazines and promos covering one eye. They have to do that. That's a non-negotiable part of the contract. And it's in anything else that confers "stardom" and fame, including YouTube "influencers". You take the ticket, you do as you're told, they make you famous, you get on the ride, but you can't leave. You pose with the humiliating outfits on. You put the required imagery and messaging in your videos. You say what you're told to say. You give up all your "you", because the price of fame and fortune is your freedom.
They explain it all in their own music videos. If you watch enough of them, you'll see that I'm not only not exaggerating, I'm kinda understating it. The fame industry has been like this for a long, long time, and the people who can confer this fame are very, very powerful, once you take their offer.
