If we’re making a list of most under appreciated 90’s-era rappers, mine would start with Kool G Rap (ahead of his time lyrically but never got mainstream play), Sean Price (RIP), Tash (from the Alkaholiks), Kool Keith, D.O.C., Bahamadia, and Black Thought (still not given his due individually because he’s in the Roots).

Man that is a murders row of rappers right there. I cant find a single one to argue against. All crazy talented and way under appreciated. Black Thought is slept on by everyone so true.

Switching gears a little bit…R&B. Best guy group…Jodeci. Best female group…SWV.
Agree? disagree?
I gotta go with Coach Bennett and say Boyz II Men. And TLC.
New Edition’s probably too old. Destiny’s Child too young.
New Edition’s going back a little bit, but I liked them better with Johnny than Bobby.

Rump Shaker was Pharell’s first producer credit! Should have known then he was destined for greatness.
I was never a 90’s R&B guy (give me the Isleys, Teddy Pendergrass, etc.) so I don’t have a strong opinion there. I did bump the hip-hop remixes in the mid-90s (e.g., Horace Brown with the Lost Boyz and Jay-Z, Mary J with Smif n Wessun, etc.).

GTFO he was 17 when he did that? Damn he’s older than I thought. Always assumed we were the same age. Either way, that’s impressive to have that type of talent in your teens.
the videography was unparaleled in that era of great music videos

I know there was mention of ATCQ as underrated, but I would say De La Soul, if any group, was severely underrated…the entire Daisy Age, honestly…also, the Native Tongues collective…Jungle Brothers, De La, ATCQ, Black Sheep, Brand Nubian…
