Who is the most underrated rapper?
In my humble opinion, I think Tech N9ne is easily the most underrated rapper. Why? His skills are easily at the G.O.A.T. level but, songs like “This Ring” flaunted those skills with a solid story. Tech N9ne also has another thing I admire—his business acumen. He is a “real” independent artist—owns a rehearsal space, is self-distributed, etc.
What are your favorite rap albums of all time? Why do you think they’re important to the genre?
Public Enemy, It Takes a Nation of Millions…to Hold Us Back. Public Enemy was like The Black Panthers on wax. Good for the soul and Chuck D’s voice made you want to suit up immediately!
