Bone Thugs N Harmony
If you don’t listen to a lot of rap, you wouldn’t even know enough about this rap group to dispute this ranking. I do like them a lot, but I thought I needed to have at least one overrated rap group. Their flow is actually one of my favorites but most rap groups have great flow. Thats the point of forming a group. There are some songs they have that have some great lyrics, but in most of their songs, their verses are incoherent. That being said, their lyrics don’t mean anything to me. This group goes way back and they’ve got too much credit for how mediocre their entire career was. Anything after The Art of War was garbage, but people still love them because they weren’t “full on rap”. Their more recent albums have been criticized for being extremely violent. Strength & Loyalty, released in 2007,was tight but that’s only because it had Mariah Carey, Twista, will.i.am, and many others. When you put BTNH’s R&B rap flow together with someone like Mariah Carey, you’re bound to get something great.

i don't consider myself particularly alarmist, but 'america' has always been an aspirational myth. you too can go from the gutters to the penthouse as long as you aren't female/black/papist/etc. but, you know, not *really*
modern economics considers itself perfectly ideal and rational, yet the stock market goes into a frenzy whenever trump mentions a corporation on twitter. les etats-unis considers itself perfectly ideal and rational but the fabled checks and balances were customs, not regulations
newt began discarding the customs 25 years ago, and trump and hunky paul ryan will finish them off. idk what this will result in -- no shitty hollow government in history has had this kind of firepower advantage over its rivals, nor the circuses at its command -- but when 'silvio berlusconi' is the best-case scenario, yr polity is fucked
we all think the current situation will carry on forever, but it doesn't work that way. no one of importance -- apart from this navy rotc dude i met who'd been an exchange student there (!) -- predicted the fall of the ussr. giving nuclear codes to a reality television star is just the first step. it's only going to get worse.
