how can he be underrated with so many album sales, TV shows, movies etc etc...you know you are not underrated, when you are a gangsta rapper and get appearances in family tv shows...

Well the google results show that there are ALOT of other people that feel the same way not just me.

TV shows, family shows, appearances has nothing to do with music or accolades associated with music.

Tbh the way I see this is he's rated by the people who matter I. E. Hip hop circles and that's good enough, not just him just saying in general with any artist, if they're good the people who know their onions will acknowledge their talent.

If you asked casual hip hop fans their opinions on greatest rappers ever I doubt they'd mention ice cube cos he's not a household name but tbh I doubt he would care, hes rated by his peers and hardcore fans of the music.

I don't think you understand how search engines work.

Maybe this is a difference in our ages or the counties we live in, but I think he absolutely would be mentioned by casual hip hop fans as one of the greats because he is a household name.

Agree and very true

Krs One, Gangstarr, etc they are all rated high in their hip hop circles but if you ask someone on the street who are the pioneers of hip hop, they would say a political correct mainstream response.

Hip Hop fans from the ages of 13-25 do not know the impact Ice Cube has made on Hip Hop.

A casual Hip Hop fan would not cite Ice Cube.

I casual hip hop fan would probably cite a rapper like Jay Z.

When I searched it various hip hop forums and music forums popped up with the same question

"Why is Ice Cube Underrated?"

"Ice Cube is Underrated"

"Top Underrated Rappers- Ice Cube"

so forth and so forth

If they're really into the genre I'd imagine they would know.

As I indicated above, I think that may be very dependant on the age of the person you're talking to.

This sounds like someone that doesn't know any hip hop heads(aka Hardcore fans). It doesn't matter what age they are. The internet is a thing that makes it easier to discover older artists and they would be all over Cube's material.

Ice Cube's solo albums might not get mentioned by casual fans but they definitely know who the **** NWA is.
