    Holy shit, this happened? I'm going to have to look up that pole just so I can hate everyone and quit this place.
    It's not as bad as it sounds. Outkast was a 1 seed in the 00s bracket and lost in the E8 to the eventual runner up Eminem (who could have guessed a white dude would overachieve on this bored??).

    Wu was a 4 seed in the stackedest bracket of all the brackets, 90s rap. Lost to the eventual champ TuPac in the S16.
    Wu-Tang a 4 seed?

    I don't even mind Eminem finishing that high. I've been taking a walk down hip hop memory lane recently, and although I didn't listen to a lot of Eminem when he was big, I've been catching up, and it's fucking amazing. "Rap God" has to be one of the greatest rap songs ever.

    I love Outkast, picked up Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik on a whim when it was in the new release section at the record store, and was blown away. ATLiens was even better. That being said, a 1 seed in the '90s? No way. That would be Wu Tang Clan for me. Wu Tang Forever was the most anticipated album release of my life and yet didn't disappoint at all.

    Wait, what was this thread about?
    Outkast was a 1 in the 00s not the 90s. Pac was the 1 in the 90's.

    For balance anyone who had any significance in the 80s was seeded in the 80s. Everyone else was seeded by their last decade of relevance. This was done to address the two biggest challenges: the 90s being too stacked and the 10s being too worthless. The 90s was still the strongest bracket and the 10s still the weakest but not nearly as bad as it would have been without that approach.

    Wu was a four in the 90s behind Tupac, Biggie and Ice Cube.

    Nineties west coast rap is the most overrated thing ever, and Biggie and Tupac both are overrated to this day because they died. /hawt take. Thanks for the link, though, I'll have to catch up and hate everyone.

    i agree Biggie is overrated and I'd vote for Wu Tang (or Outkast) over him rather easily but Pac is a legend irregardless of his untimely death. Most prolific rapper of all time and had the whole package stylistically. Could both pen and deliver a banger, a ballad, a gangsta anthem, a dis track or a socially conscious cut all without ever damaging his 10/10 street cred.

    Hating Pac is just trying to be contrarian.

    These should be on opposite sides of the bracket. This is Duke-UNC in the sweet sixteen.
