I know Nas at #1 is crazy but he is the dopest rapper that has ever lived and tupac and biggie get all of the glory.

I wasn't aware that any of those artists were underrated

In my opinion all of these rappers deserve to be mentioned among the best ever, and not just behind the cliched big 2(biggie/tupac)

ok, illmatic is not at all underrated. many people recognize it as one of the best lyrical performances ever, myself included.
now the others i can agree as underrated, except for th mos def, thats super famous, but still one of my faves.
now change your roots cd to illadelph and you got it. :]

oh and beautiful struggle>quality imo.
both good tho

By beautiful struggle your referring to Talib Kweli's album?
If you are Talib's best album is Quality.
I agree Nas is a superstar and he garners a lot of respect but not enough imo. I definitely agree with mos def being super famous but he's still not respected enough in the hip hop community for his superior lyrical skills.
