I think rap has a lot of the most
underappreciated artists within a genre (mind you, this is not the same as underrated), especially by younger listeners. NWA and Public Enemy, while not underrated, definitely don't get the recognition they deserve by all these wet-eared pseudo-gangstas claiming to love rap. I think the Beastie Boys are perfectly rated (they are a cultural icon, but not unduly worshipped), and perhaps Ice Cube - he's decent, but just kind of, well, there.
