ohright

“This band is not artistic, they suck. How can you people say that zeppelin, hendrix, and avenged are overrated they’re great? The beatles are great, but I can see where you’re coming from since everyone always says they’re the best. As for Metallica, Lars Ulrich needed pro tools to keep him on time.”

“not really that talented a drummer to be honest, and his double bass isn’t even that impressive. his signature snare drum was also a disappointment.”

“I’ll admit, he is pretty good, but there are/have been drummers that could MURDER him in a drum-off.
Off the top of my head - John Bpnham, Neil Peart, Jojo Mayer, Keith Moon and Dave Weckl. What’s the big deal over JJ?”

“really, really despise this guy and all he stands for. todays pop. him and the likes, neyo, flo rida, jay z or whatever they are called, they normally just crop up in the middle of a half decent song that they ’feature’ in, and ruin it.”

daftdavy

“I change the channel when I see this one in tv. rap is crap. same beats, same style only lyrics is different”

Vote for Kelly Clarkson 44) Kelly Clarkson

Vote for 2pac 45) 2pac

“2pac’s overrated because of his fans. I’m not hating, again, at him. Like what these guys said, he didn’t do anything fancy on his songs, and his fans are nothing but lowlife moralists. HE’S ONLY GOOD BECAUSE OF THE MESSAGE HE BROUGHT IN. But he still sucks. Dear Mama, Changes, Brenda’s Got A Baby are all mediocre songs, despite the crap message he brought. He says he loves LA, but he’s born in New York and he barely lived in LA. Even Snoop Dogg used different styles and he’s more overrated than tupac? Even Dr. Dre is better than this fakeass. I only like the songs "Hit Em’ Up", "Ambitionz Az A Ridah", or "California Love", and Snoop Dogg had better songs than that.
Tupac never did anything fancy in his songs, he used the same crap in his 4 years. He’s not even a thug.

2pac is definitely overrated. Period. But hey, at least Biggie copied his style.”

nolvorite

“Very overrated.He never changed up his flow or did anything fancy or special and his style was the whole generic thug thing.I’ll give him one classic album and its me against the world thats it.Nas was a superior rapper to 2pac and so was biggy and pac knew it himself.Not to mention Mr.Westside 2pac was actually born and raised in New York and lived in L.A for like 2 years or something.He was never as good as the real best west-coast rapper Ice Cube and thats a fact.If you were to put him in a battle with Loe Louis or Canibus he would get crushed easily.”

Chris-1

“He used one flow his entire career yet is usually credited as the greatest rapper of all time. In his dreams he was jealus that real hip-hop fans liked nas and biggy way better than him. pac simpley sucks eminem has skills and actually uses similies, punchlines, and metaphors witch increases the difficulty of your rhymes. Pac never did that he is overrated he was good but he can’t be compared to the great nas or rakim or even ice cube. None lyrical with limited range and no flow, these days little kids think he was god but the true hip-hop heads know the truth and its that 2pac was and is overrated. He knew he wasnt that good himself but his brainless fans think he was the best witch he never was. If you think 2pac was the best you do not know anything about real hip-hop ohh, he rapped about politics he’s the greatest, not immortal technique would have ripped this guy in a battle know doubt. Pac sells t-shirts but the real hip-hop heads know whats up.”

Vote for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus 71) Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Vote for Disturbed 72) Disturbed

“Disturbed needs to be in the top 10 of this list.
They’re the definition of overrated.
They’re sellouts, not that they were ever good.
Everyone thinks they’re good when they’re actually crap.
The vocalist has no range, and the musicians (especially the guitarist, and drummer) have no creativity and those are the reasons why a lot of their songs sound a like.
Little 10 - 13 year old kids think they’re "heavy", no they’re not. They’re not even metal, nu-metal is not metal.
Disturbed just sucks, and they need to go away!”
