Not even close.

Led Zeppelin, Beyonce, AC/DC, Kiss, Prince, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift way above Pac in terms of overratedness.

This thread has been really cordial lately.

I just wanted to point that out.

Taylor Swift is the most overrated musical artist of the current times. Without that fancy technology behind her she can barely even sing.

This is not a defence of Taylor Swift but Lou Reed couldn't sing and he's one of the greatest musical artists of all time

I'm not the biggest fan of his music, but Prince doesn't deserve to be anywhere near this list

For you I would say Gang of Youths

Prince.

His production style is incredibly one-note, repetitive.

I did enjoy the purple album though.

This is why you don't put any facebook owned apps on your phone.

Just so creepy to be spied on by my phone, even if it's Big Business instead of Big Brother.
In the future Big Tech and Big Brother will be one in the same.

Your missing out on mobile banking. Nice to deposit checks from home. You're also missing out on YouTubeTV. Rather than having 0 google accounts, I'd recommend you have 5+ google accounts like me.

Peacock, the streaming service that isn't on Roku or Firestick? LoL. Actually HBO Max is in the same boat, but since I have 3 free subscriptions I went ahead and learned how to sideload it onto the Firestick. Wasn't too difficult.

Funny enough, this music video actually names the 5 greatest rappers of all time (video starts right at that point):

When I quoted this the song that appeared was this:




That confused me because I didn't understand the Tupac reference but I was wondering how I have never heard of this song before. Or maybe i heard of it and forgot about it kinda like this song:

Kiss has to be the most overrated by far.

AC/DC and Led zeppelin are not overrated.

Beyonce has a couple good songs and of course this was very empowering:




Like Beyonce, Taylor Swift's music is mostly for women.

I don't know who Billie Eilish is.

I agree that Prince is overrated. Growing up this was the only song of his that I liked and that was only in the context of the movie:




Even most of the songs he wrote for other artists sucked, IMO. Out of the 4 Bangles songs i know, Manic Monday, which was written by Prince, is by far the worst. Also, why's he lookin like a bearded lady creepin on prepubescent Tevin Campbell in this video:




All that being said, he did write one of the greatest songs of all TIMES:


(thank goodness he didn't sing it)

Not a hot take and it’s laughable that anyone would consider him top 5

Top influencer - 100%
Top lyricist or flow - nope

Nas
Mos def
Phonte

Edit
Aesop Rock to be added too. Dude gets better every album and hasn’t put out anything but quality

Whoever invented bolting down toilets is a ****ing idiot whose idiocy is only surpassed by the idiot that invented the wax ring for toilets. Toilet ring wax is literally the nastiest substance I've dealt with in my life. Definitely nastier than feces. Do plumbers just enjoy getting nasty or what? Whoever invented the wax-free toilet seal is the greatest person that's ever lived.

I spent like an hour and a half trying to fix a wobbly toilet caused by a loose bolt. Then I went to the store and purchased a wax-free toilet seal and it took me less than 15 minutes to install it. Unfortunately, I had to spend another half hour cleaning up the wax that was all over everything from when I was trying to reattach the bolt earlier.

Zep, AC/DC and Prince were not overrated

Kiss - you have to be rated to be overrated. i've never in my life heard a single person talk about Kiss being a great band.

though this song is amazing for many reasons, being great is not one of them


and holy **** was gene simmons one ugly mother ****er.

Maybe, correct, don’t know/care, whatever, lol wut, incorrect, absolutely not

I mean Taylor is the biggest pop star in the world so.. yeah I guess by definition she can’t be UNDER rated. But the assumption she can’t write great songs is incorrect.

AC/DC absolutely not overrated.

Was going to acknowledge the much better vibe in the thread for obvious reasons yesterday but didn’t want to run afoul of the mods. Honestly, it feels like we got our thread back.

How? They had like 2 good songs and every song is the same. They are like the most generic rock music. Yet people often put them up as one of the greats.
