Lauryn Hill and Tupac are overrated....
Lauyrn lost alot of credibility to me when she didn't continue her rap career. I get her first gift is as a singer and she's a great singer BUT the thing that got her over and boosted her was her MC skills and presence. And even as her singing career faltered due to the controversy surrounding the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, she could have continued as a rapper and held it down for the non pussy rapping female MCs.

Honestly she was last of a dying breed as all the strippers turned rappers started to rise. And Lauryn failed to represent and it was a missed opportunity for her continue her presence on the big stage and MAYBE reignite her singing career because she is that versatile.

But she didn't do anything but have a bunch of kids and get caught up in baby daddy drama and neglected her rap career...which makes me question did she write those raps or was that stuff ghost written and the whole MC thing just a pose??

At this point I seriously question her MC status.

I don't understand,how folks put her as the greatest female MC after having one album. People discredit Biggie for having two albums but change the rules for her. That album wasn't all that good in the first place.

There should be a two album rule for any discussion of ranking an MC.I understand,quality vs quantity argument but can an artist have at least two albums before talking about them in any type of ranking.


Ill take Lyte,Roxanne Shante and Latifah over her.

No you are fucking bugging and don't know anything about Lauryn.
Her first gift is poetry. She got that Andre 3000 shit but she don't have it as bad as him.
Did Andre write his rhymes? Cause he don't wanna rap no more either.
Do you question Andre's MC status? Da Fuck?
Kool G Rap aint done shit in forever. You question his status?

Think about it, outside of "Unbelievable" & "Big Poppa", every hit on that album had to be remixed.

I'm not doing this Chuck.

Nope not gonna happen

One of the greatest debut albums of all time.

Concept to execution

Most hip hop heads me included actually prefer the original one more chance.

The remixes were for the radio not because of quality.

Juicy was remixed?

the what was remixed?

Warning was remixed?

Gimme the loot was remixed?

Wtf am I doing?

I'm not doing this today.

i wouldn't say suck but definitely overrated
hell a lot of times his rhymes didn't even make sense or barely rhymed at all

he was a much better actor than rapper

Ok last thing...

And he wasn't THAT great an actor.

But to be fair he didn't have an opportunity to really hone his craft.

The roles he DID excel at? Woo boy iconic.
