Unlikely. He is one of the few rappers that has talent and something to say.

Dead Kennedys are under-rated. But about all punk music, there are LOADS of talentless people in the scene. Oh trust me.

I know the scene very well too, and I'd still say that punk music in general is very under-rated genre, at least they've got something to say, unlike the pop "musicians" and many rap artists...

I know the scene well enough too. I remember hearing a warm up band when i went to see blink 182, they were punk aswell and were awesome. Have you also ever heard of the thermals? They are underated, and awesome. But for every good underated punk band you get a greenday of today, or a good charlotte :

I don't count Blink 182, Greenday, Sum 41, Good Charlotte etc. as punk, they're just punch of posers... indeed...

see what i mean. The people who make it to the top, are automatically overated because you have to be cheap to make it there.

not necessarily, but I agree that most of these "top bands" are cheap indeed. Overated is the word.

I remember the name of the band!!

Motion city Soundtrack!!

They got signed now. Check them out, they are really good

You also have to sell out to get to the top, as mainstream doesnt want real punk.

Underrated: I dunno bout' that (most are overrated)

and yeah, I still want to proceed with this discussion. Yeah, there are different ways to make it to the top and stay there, you don't have to sell yourself like Linkin Park who made a rap version of their first album...

That ruined it. I agree, but i retract my previous statement. Nirvana are a prime example of how you can stay at the top and not be cheap. But then again, there are many punk bads who are at the top with no message (blink, sum etc)
