Big Pun, though he got mentioned a couple of times on Port Authority album, only 1 person knows him in my school

mainstream-wise he's underrated for sure, but so are all the people we listen to on the mainstream. most mainstream heads don't even know who Rakim is. Pun is one of the most highly respected artists ever in the underground.

i mean no doubt Big Pun is underrated, but it's like this: overall, John Coltrane is underrated, but within the Jazz circle it could be argued that he's actually sort of overrated.

yeah, you do have a point. he should be thought of alongside Nas and others and even within underground circles he's not. i guess i can feel you on that. he's just not as underrated as, say, someone like Jeru The Damaja or Percee P are.

C Rayz Walz - If you actually sit and listen to the dude he is on whole other level...Dude sweats and bleeds hip hop and actually has something to say which is worth hearing as well as keeping shit fun at times, the way hip hop was intended to be.

i do think pun should be held in the same regards as pac big and nas. dude had a flow that no one could replicate and laid down a few down right classic tracks all while keeping up with a mainstream career he continued to hold all his respect and credibility in the underground scene as well

there should be a thread in regards to that sentence, that is criminal. all the hype around nas is simple. one of the illest by far to do it. if you havent listened to his library i suggest you do so because it will change your perception on life

oh i know. i've listened to plenty Nas. he's dope and definitely up there, but i just can't come to call him one of the greatest ever. there are too many artists far more intelligent than him for one thing. he just doesn't impress me. idk. his subject matter just doesn't appeal to me as much as the subject matter of other emcees does and lyrically he's not #1 imo like everyone claims.
