Topic. What rappers do you think are criminally slept on or just don't get enough love for what they put out? They can be lesser known rappers or more popular ones. 

IMO, Ghostface, El-P, Brother Ali, and Big Boi are in that category. Big Boi gets a lot of love but I feel like he's always, unjustly, in 3000's shadow.

Consequence.  I really thought Don't Quit Your Day Job was a great album.  Man was produced by Kanye West, and even then, you ask most people about Cons and they go, "Huh?"

^Lol,I was talking about Consequence to my friend yesterday and he only remembered him when I said he was on "Gone" by Kanye.

8ball & MJG
AZ
Z-Ro
Freeway
Royce
Cyhi The Prynce
Fabolous
Goodie Mob (Besides Cee-Lo)

Rappers that I feel or have always felt should've gotten more airplay.

Its so-so down here. He's sold a lot of records in the past but none of my hip-hop head friends ever mention him when we talk about current good rappers. I think he released the best mixtape this year so far to be honest.

AGREED on Consequence and Big Boi. everyone loves Ghost's albums though, I don't think he's underrated at all. A few I might throw in:

AZ

Heltah Skeltah and honestly a lot of BCC material

Jadakiss

Ludacris (I mean I know he's super famous but it seems like people only know his radio singles and nothing else)

People Under the Stairs

Tanya Morgan

Xzibit

Styles P.

MF DOOM deserves more credit than he gets

Fabolous as well. He makes really good music and doesn't get a whole lot of mention.

I also agree with Big Boi. Always gets put in Andre 3000's shadow but he's just as good. The poet and the pimp. Gotta have both.

And he still deserves more. Two modern cIassics say it all. He should be mentioned with the best of the 00s but still he's only given props by backpackers
