I think history will bear out that Jay Z was over rated. He's smart though, he crafted the right image and like 50cent has turned himself into a multi millionaire through his various business ventures.
As for Eminem, he's the only white rapper that people give two squirts and a piss about, unless you count Everlast; artists like Brother Ali & Machine Gun Kelly can't hold a candle to him.
Anyways another artist who I think it slightly overrated is NAS, he's good, but I can't understand why Illmatic is often cited as the best rap album of all time, personally I think Mobb deep's The Infamous is better myself.
