Thought I was gonna get roasted judging from the thumbnail. LMAO! Great video bro

Someone i know said that Still Dre was "such an UNDERRATED classic", that's proof enough that it's an overused term

Music conversations are literally never productive. It's just people trying to tell you what to like and how to like it. I've been guilty of these things tho, but now I just listen to music and stfu 😂 like who cares what others listen to honestly. I'm just trynna enjoy life

#2 is extremely true to me because people ask me who my favorite rapper is a lot and I always respond with Denzel Curry and people start clowning me. But when I ask what they heard from him, they usually cant even name a song that isn't Clout Cobain or Ultimate

Run DMC were the first people to get a non-athletic endorsement deal with a sneaker company. Legendary.

i think streaming kinda ruined listening to albums like that. back in the day if you paid for an album youd play the whole thing and over time appreciate all of or more of the songs. now w streaming and so much music its just what stands out at first glance. im guilty of this too sometimes, esp when so many artists have a ton of filler music to pad album times for more streams

The “calling people a legend” thing is definitely tru, I definitely do that some times I’m not gonna lie…

he always slide the promos in so smooth

It's also with people that bash an artist just because everyone else is bashing them. Example Logic. Everyone likes saying he only raps about being biracial but if you ask them have you even listened to at least 3 songs they'll say no they haven't which leaves me to question how they can be that specific with their opinion on his music then. It's just obsurd.

*_To be honest, Ludacris is an underrated lyricist though. Criminally overlooked._*

Back in the 60’s and 80’s, those were the times that the “Album Era” was took place, albums was huge back then, but now we in the “streaming era” where everyone can go on they phone and listen to anything

Number 2 always bothers me. I can't even count how many times I've been clowned for liking guys like Jpegmafia or blu or billy woods just cause they aren't as known.

Fans be instigating rap beefs until someone or more gets killed then they say “r.I.p brO hE wAs a Legend”’

Blackyspeakz said that you lying if you've never cried to a Rod Wave and I haven't taken him as serious since 💀💀 nah but all love to him but he was tripping offa that

I understand why someone would have Ludacris as their favorite rapper. The man has a lot of energy and his delivery is fantastic. Even when he’s featured in bad songs, he always gives it all. His song “Beast Mode” is excellent.

"Aw Amiri you bugging, I don't do any of these. I can't admit to something that I don't do".

I am 13. Run dmc and the beastie boys were the ones who brought the sound of rock into hip hop. With sounds like king of rock, walk this way, run's house, and peter piper, alot of people ask what does dmc mean. D is for never dirty, Mc is for mostly clean.

Promo track was some gas highkey 😂

the only exception to the "your taste in music is kinda weak" rule is if lil xan in at #1

My top 5 Kendrick Lamar Denzel curry Mick Jenkins Joey badass Slowthai

I feel like taste in music can‘t be bad because it is always a personal thing and nobody else should judge it. People should respect each other…

Number 1 is literally just all of Hip Hop Twitter

When people try to diss someone for liking an obscure rapper and never realises that if it wasnt for music fans that listen to underground artists than you wouldnt know about the mainstream artists in thenfirst place lol.

1. I used to call 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. legends before I heard their music when I first started to listen to hip hop I ain't gonna lie but then I listened to all of biggies work and some of 2Pacs and now I genuinely think they are legends 2. I can't relate to this 3. I can't relate to this 4. I listen to a project atleast 2 times before deciding if I like it or not then I move on and when I want to, I go back to it to acknowledge if I still like it or not (and I don't revisit projects I didn't like as awhole unless I forgot how I feel about it) 5. I can't really relate to this because I don't have that much nostalgia blinding me because I barely started listening to hip hop 3 years ago and before I started to listen to hip hop seriously there was only a few hip hop songs I liked and I relistened to to a lot of them and some I still like, and others I don't

You’re the only channel I’ve ever come across to actually have fire paid promoted songs 🔥

Here's the thing with the legends part. I don't think terms like "legend" or "classic" are subjective. For example, I don't think anyone can argue whether or not Tupac is a legendary artist in rap. The fact that he is still spoken of to this day, biopics are being made, and people still get flak for dissing him kinda shows his status in rap. Same with an album like The Chronic or Reasonable Doubt. Two albums that are undeniable as far as it's place in rap. However, this doesn't mean that the quality of these are automatically linked to its status. I don't even think The Chronic is better than 2001 or Compton, but I recognize that it is more important to rap's history and therefore I completely agree with its label of "classic". I recognize It Takes A Nation of Millions is a classic album, but I think that album is massively overrated. I think a huge problem is people throwing the word "classic" and "legend" around so loosely. I don't think there should be arguments for a classic albums. It either just is or isn't. It's typically a universal understanding. And people claim something is legendary or classic just because THEY like it to a high degree, which muddies the term's meaning.

love the entire video. valid points all the way through. the point about new music is not a new thing. mixtapes (not by artists) are the original playlists and mainly consisted of favorite songs and/or artists. sometimes it's a vibe the listener is looking for. I've found myself checking out new music with fear for not knowing what I'm doing about to hear. sometimes it's a hit or miss.

Im gonna admit, I have did number 3 a multitude of time. Like Ill find a fire underground artist and Ill be like "why they dont have more listeners" then I dont tell a soul about them. I do it subconsciously, like I know my friends would mess with their music but I don't put then on.

I’m glad you put that picture of Chris Patrick while talking bout underrated. I love that dudes music, and yes, I’m up to date on his new music and try putting people on to him

I’m 19 so my music taste when I was like 14-16 was mostly juice wrld drake NF Travis scott etc, but I’ve expanded my taste and listened to classic 90s and 2000s rap (like nas, em, kanye, pac, jayz, etc) as well as more recent classics like stuff from Kendrick and j Cole, at the same time listening to a lot of stuff that’s come out in the last 2-3 years. I think I do pretty good at not doing these things you listed but I ain’t perfect lol

Great list

Ayyy,BlackeySpeakz 🔥💪

Love the vids man, it’s crazy how the algorithm works, I been looking at itsarron channel for a lil min but only now they recommended yours as well which is 2 years late for me. Overall great video as is some of the others I saw. I feel you on point 3 even though I think a person can still be underrated even if they have a solid fan base or on. One of the artist like that for me is Pierre Bourne. To me Pierre is underrated not because he doesn’t have a fan base for his own music, he does, he even has tours that are nicely packed for it. I think he is underrated because I simply believe his peak right now is smaller than it should be and his impact isn’t being talked about enough. I think he honestly can be in a tier of guys like trippie(who also is one of my favorites rn)and tecca who on my list are in that tier where they aren’t like Travis Scott and carti where they have a movement and can do arena tours but have a big enough name to pop out on a Festival lineup and people are like that’s a nice artist on the ticket and their fan base is more than enough for a respectable career and you can see their possibility of getting to that next tier with a really great album. His beats obviously has influenced a culture lately but I think if people dive in his solo a lil bit they would see some of his best works is his own works and not just the production side on others. Also number 4 feels a bit contradictory to me. It’s like you said for point 2 on the top 5 argument. Everyone just has different taste. I feel like an album over 20 songs could mean that the artist tried to really hammer a certain sound and he felt like a good amount had reached the mark. Playboi carti comes to mind. His album is like you said how some fans approach music and that’s to just vibe and rock out and while a lot of people would have a problem with that, I would argue that’s the art of that album. His album isn’t meant for that lyricism, it’s meant for you to go crazy in the concert and to just experience it. I think he did it pretty successfully with his lil movement going on rn. Overall music is so subjective I feel your views. Having a top 5 or like a strong ranking just doesn’t make sense, this isn’t sports where you can see one guy beat another and that’s it. Even numbers are a poor way in my eyes to say why one is better than another. Cause it’s all opinion at the end of the day. Sorry for the long comment but this was pretty good had to share my views

Greatest video ive seen in a minute...loaded with facts..:salute

I only listen to Christian rappers (KB, Shai Linne, etc), so I’m used to the blank stares when I give my top 5 lol

Thanks for putting me on bro, I’ll be sure to check some of lil bravo music out, I ain’t heard of him before but he sounds dope

My top 5 1.Travis Scott 2.Kanye West 3.Chidlish Gambino 4.Kendrick Lamar 5.Earl Sweatshirt

Ppl talking about why someone they should or shouldn’t like a artist is like ppl tryna tell someone why they should or shouldn’t eat something like bruh

My name Amir too. I guess people who's name Amir are goated twin ✌🏾

#1 is so true and i think a lot of ppl feel like they can only be taken seriously in rap groups / discussion circles if they do this so they just repeat that cycle #2 true too i hate how ppl will feel like they know your entire taste based off a top five. especially when theres people you like a ton but theyre new and domt have a ton of music so you wouldnt put them in your top 5 yet

yo was that chris patrick at 10:46 great vid btw i agree with most of what you say

My favourite artist rn is 2kbaby. Good melody, lyrics, voice, word play, beats, flow, versitality (not that he makes different types of songs, but he doesnt always sound the same). Also picks good features for songs Mad - amazing flow, more of an emotional song, chill, and the beat is good especially at the end with the piano. Ryhme scheme is good too Faxts - upbeat, good flow, word play, good rhyme scheme, good beat Dreaming - good beat, chill song, good chorus and hook Old soul - more of song that doesnt sound good until you listen to it more often. G herbo is really good on it 2kizzy flow - rhyme scheme is good (0:21 - 0:55 is a great example), good flow, word play, upbeat. Honestly hasnt missed imo. Some songs are a little to upbeat. Like zack and cody, like this, and kiki Should be dropping an album in august or around then. And from hearing leaks they are really good. Post man, balenci shades, riding around, ecstasy.

No cap the sponsored song wasn't bad fr

My boy you just earned a sub and a new consistent viewer keep it up bro bro🔥💯

Yo Zay Doe 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This video so valid bra

One entry I wanna mention is when rap fans who keeps mentioning the problems in the mainstream for being mediocre and one dimensional, wanting more of the different and talented rappers but yet when they get recommended to an artist or songs that got low views they quick not to check it out because of that which leads to them not supporting the artist it’s like boy just check out the damn song/artist the amount of views and plays they have is not gonna effect the art that you ask for

Good work bro! Goated youtuber

You called me out on this list lol. I used to have an old head mentality during my teenage years. I'm a metal fan and a hip hop head. Now I'm getting out of my old head phase and I'm still unlearning my old head ways. I was going through my "not like other phase" now I realize that I was missing out on so much and should never be ashamed of liking pop music. I love pop music and alternative music. One thing that I've learned over the last few years is: an old head is not about age, Its a Mindset. Moral of the story. Just enjoy your music and don't be ashamed of listening to your favorite songs/artists. These artists are just living their lives and putting in all of the work in order for us to enjoy. Thnx.

ALRIGHT SO BOOM!

Ngl in a way you kind of sound like Leland from Rdcworld1 but real talk I like what i hear from you and your content is potent and educational in a way. Def worth a sub from me.

I love revisiting music. I just Re-listened all Killy's projects and I got some new songs off of that.

I've experienced a lot of these. For example: 1. I've multiple times called Tupac and Biggie legends where the "popular" people in my school has just simply said "You don't know anything about them do you?" and then when I asked them to name a song by Tupac they said "The Next Episode" 2. Once I joined a hiphop discord community, where they said that they're the most friendly and non-toxic community out there, but immediately when I joined, I was asked for my top 5 rappers of all time. I was then banned for not having Playboi Carti in my top 5. 3. Haven't experienced or done that. 4. Literally everyone I know just listens to the popular TikTok songs saying "oh that's my favourite song of all time" and 1 week later, "nah I never liked it" 5. As I said in number 4, nobody around me revisits music

My top 5 at the moment: *Tyler the creator *kendrick Lamar *playboi carti *21 savage *Drake Just gonna put it out there that this is my top 5 AT THE MOMENT, tbh I don’t care about top 5s or anything I just don’t have a favorite🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm so glad you mentioned numbers 4 and 5. In my free time, I listen to full albums. Either I'm making progress through someone's discography, listening to an artist I haven't listened to an album from before or re-listening to an album I want to revisit. I think I almost always go back for seconds or thirds when It comes to listening to full albums unless it's an album or artist I feel like I don't really care about. For example, I listened to the new Tyler album and I liked it, i think I gave it something in the mid 7s, but I don't really care for Tyler enough to revisit the album. Also, for number 5, I'm glad you bring up Carter 3 because I feel like it's a perfect example. It's definitely a good album, but it's not Wayne's best album when looking at face value compared to other albums of his. Nostalgia is the biggest factor behind people saying Carter 3 is his best. I love re-listening to music because I always feel like there are songs that I completely forget exist then realize how good they are and start bumping them more. I'm glad you made this video bc I realized that I'm not the only one who want to encourage other rap fans to really explore both new music and old music

New Amiri video. Gotta watch while workin. I just gotta watch dude. Gonna comment about the five things later. EDIT: Ight so boom. I do everything but 3 & 4. I am trying to stop that shit tho.

Thanks for puttin me on to lil bravo, dude fire🥵

Spitting all facts in this video 😂😂💯

my top 5 in all honesty is Em, Kendrick, Kanye, Cudi and Nas and these artists, especially Em and Kendrick are always in my playlists when I'm listening to music.

Another W drop

i love love rap man, my favorite rapper from the 80's would be slick rick

I feel what you said on #2. A persons top 5 is subjective. People have different tastes.

I’ve recently become guilty of vibe searching in music. I used to have a well balanced mixed of ‘lit’ music and actual music with substance but recently I only been listening to ‘bangers’ like you mentioned.

I agree with #3. People do be trying keep artists underrated just to feel like they’re different or better. I’ve noticed a youtuber out of town try to be so secretive with the Detroit/Michigan artist that he listened to late 2019, he’d post videos of him listening to certain songs and would say “Dont ask me for the songs y’all not hip about this” “this that underground shit”. So once Babyface Ray, YN Jay, Baby Smoove, and Rio Da Yung OG all caught their buzz mid-2020 and started getting more fans outside of Detroit the dude literally started bragging about how he didn’t hear anyone listening to them before 2020 and how no one knew who they were until now.

Thanks for showing my comment is your video much love peace

Music has changed throughout the decades, for real

I can’t even lie I be gatekeeping my favorite underground artists. I wouldn’t be mad if they blow up but ion be putting everybody on

Personally I like classic hip hop over new. I listen to it all the time. 80s through early 2000s. I do like a lot of new rap but I prefer the classics. Nas, Jay z, RUN DMC, NWA, wu tang, beastie boys, slim shady, Eric B and Rakim, the outkast, classic Kanye, Busta rhymes, etc...

Our tastes are probably opposites but youre one of the smartest youtubers on here for sure

The only thing you got me with is #4. There's SO MUCH MUSIC TO GET TO BRUH

I love ur videos Amiri ur so content is so funny

dam bro u put me on lil bravo omfg🔥🔥🔥

I got into rap music when I was about 11 years old it wasn't until 12 and 13 I was studying the rap Legends of the eighties and nineties I'm 18 years old now and I won't say I know every single album from Rakim Grandmaster Flash or LL Cool J but at the same time I understand and respect their impact I have listened to their music and there are some songs I really like I also listen to the new era because there are some artists who really broke genre barriers or impacted the youth like Drake for example you can't deny that Him Kanye and Lil Wayne influenced this generation and became the real rap Legends of the 2010s era just my opinion but a musical Legend is defined by impact or lyrical skill and there are some people who will fufill that role I don't know I'm just giving my full perspective on this

Aye that featured song has such a dope flow fr, reminds me of the Gift of Gab (RIP)

I definitely relate to the top 5 one, I had so many people question me about putting Game in my top 5 and they couldn’t even name any song on documentary besides How We Do and Hate It Or Love It.

Revisiting because I realize that for the most part I’m the “moving on from new music too quickly” guy and I need to get better at not doing that

Finally a good intro rapper 🤣

I personally separate Top 5 favorites from Top 5 Greatest or Best, just like I do with sports, movies or any other form of entertainment. I can enjoy something while actively looking at the elements and attributes that makes something good. For example I enjoy Drake’s music a little bit more than Kendrick Lamar. However the level of density, complexity, and creativity added to their writing is very noticeable. I listened to Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly a lot less than Views but thought it was superior in almost every aspect (structure, production, message). So I guess it’s ok to enjoy someone but not have them in your top 5 because you recognize although you like them more there really is no objective reason to have them that high.

Back to your last point, i forgot how great is this channel

I hate when people ask what your favorite song is from a rapper, and you say their most popular song, and they think you don’t listen to them like that and u only know that one song 🙄

Glad you showing St Louis love with the nelly and chingy inclusion

That Zay Doe tho, damn.

Another thing with that "What's your top Five" question, is that it's also a very "regoinist" question( if that's even a word lol). For Example a person could say that their top five is: Jay Z Nas Biggie Rakim Jadakiss (This is not my personal top 5 by the way) Immediately after listing that top 5 that person will hear, "You must be from the east coast" or "You must be from New York" or "New York Bias", and I'm saying to myself, yeah, so what lol. It's almost like a person from a particular region can't like artist from their region the most, like they have to be all inclusive or something. It's like people are trying to shame you for liking certain artists from where your from. I find that the people who act this way lowkey want to have another person or another regions cosign and they are mad that they aren't getting it, but their pride won't let them admit this.This could also apply to anyone from any region(not New York specifically). It's to the point where if you list your top five people try to paint a certain picture of you in their mind and and judge you based off your list like you mentioned in the video. That's why for my "top 5" I'm not really listing them in order, in my top 5 all the artist are basically equal. I enjoy everyone in my top five pretty much equally and I don't really place like one over than the other. People are surprised when they hear me, A New Yorker, say that I like both Tupac and Biggie equally. As if I'm supposed to "pick a side" lol foh.

I needa see a rap fan make a song frfr bc theirs gonna be a day where fans gotta act on it

I agree with the first one a lot of my friends call some old school rappers legend and doesn't even know more then 2 songs

A legend is a legend whether I’ve heard the music or not

Right about the underrated pt real shxt

#3 so true but not only limited to rap fans. They will tell me someone is underrated but don’t buy the music and they don’t usually know more than 2 songs from that artist when I ask. People be just talking to talk.

I read Amiri but I saw Blacky..I AM CONFUSION

My top 5 1. Lil Uzi 2. Biggie 3. Ski Mask 4. Young Thug 5. Sleepy hallow

12:53 Yo For number #4 you need to put that on tiktok and short for every that does that lol 🤣

This is why when people ask for my top 5, I just say my 5 favourite. Not who I think is the best

I used to call pac and big goats just cus other people said so 🤦‍♂️, now that I’ve actually listened to them, I can really call em that

that promo was fire wtf

#4 i think that startes to happened when mixtapes was prevalent but it was definitely es made worse once streaming was more accessible

I’m unapologetically guilty of number 4. I just prefer listening to music that way. I run through everything new that comes out on Friday’s or whatever I stumble on and save the songs I like to my current playlist. I make a new playlist every once every 2-3 months and cut the songs I’m bored of and keep everything I still like while adding the new stuff. It’s always fun to see what songs stick around and how my top songs of the year look. The longest I’ll keep a song in tho is like 5 months max the oldest songs I have rn are from March. I’ll come back to a lot of my music when I listen to my other all-time and mood type playlists tho so it’s not like I completely abandon it. Idk I’d rather do it like that because I get bored of music quick and I’m not someone that can listen to only one artist at a time unless I really fw them. It’s funny you said Polo G bc that’s exactly how I feel about him. There are usually a few songs that I really like off his projects but I get mad bored listening to a full Polo G album. I at least make sure to listen to every album top to bottom in order tho. One thing I can agree that I can’t stand is when people jump around and only listen to certain songs or features.

i agree with a lot of your points the only reason why i call an album or an artists underrated is one because i like them so much and two most of them are underground, i want people to hear their music but i know people are going to be like oh it could be better or oh it's not that good and i'm like you must be a mainstream head then. people can say whatever they want but if it doesn't make full sense to me i am not going to tell the person their wrong i'm just going to leave it alone keep up the awesome work

For when he said top 5 rappers he is right about that, the only thing that can turn someone off about your top 5 is a rapper that's considered ass by everyone
