But seriously...
...Lauryn Hill is probably the most talented MC in the world. I'll admit I don't listen to rap often, but between the Fugees and the astounding 'Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' album, I'd say she's one of if not the best rapper. Usually people rush to 2-Pac (Me Against the World was incredible) or Biggy, and they were both amazingly talented, but I feel like they often lacked the soul necessary to really deliver rhymes. Lauryn Hill has the soul to really be an iconic storyteller in hip hop and R&B.
The most overrated would absolutely be Jay-Z. He has no talent. He sells like no other, but he lacks any discernible style or presence. I didn't even like 'Reasonable Doubt'.
