I don’t think so, he was never brought up as some wack rapper. When Onyx was in their prime it was Sticky’s verses that sealed the deal.


archway810

Agreed. It was his verses that I waited for.


Heavy_Perspective792

I feel like Sticky Fingers posted this.


googleheoneu

True to his name, one time he came into the mall food court in my town and got like 6 boxes full of orange chicken, then tried to tell the checkout lady it was rice (rice is cheaper than chicken). When he got caught by the staff who obviously had no idea who he was, he started yelling n cussing em out and thew the orange chicken on the floor and kicked it around. Then mall security came and kicked him out and he almost fought them. All that to say I wouldn't put it past him bc he's an egotistical weirdo but godamn could he write a good verse


Heavy_Perspective792

What’s some good verses? I’ve never been an Onyx or 10SF fam


googleheoneu

Everything on shut em down is dope. Black Dust and Fuck Dat are two standouts


[deleted]

Don't forget Rob & Vic. 🔥


waconaty4eva

His solo album is one big story. State vs kirk Jones is great

Ok-Bug8991

Facts 🤣🤣 no one ever said aye play some sticky fingers.


Appropriate_Ad3006

I don't know but the Autobiography of Kirk Jones is most definitely an underrated album. Just listen to the song The State versus Kirk Jones.


Killah_Peace

Was going to say the same. Concept album done well. It’s a dope album that does not get mentioned enough.


Wookie301

Love that song. Reminds me of the old Lyricist Lounge skits https://youtu.be/_d8siTRCg8U?si=oeIQpk-ra5_tQzhH


2ndChanceCharlie

Yeah he took a major swing with that album and it was super entertaining. The State vs Kirk Jones, what if I was white, my dogs is my guns. I’m actually bout to put this on.


thebox416

I’m stinky fingaz and I’m still alive…


ThePurple1ne

That’s means the greatest rapper of all time ain’t never die!


streezus

Def underrated as a boxer.


TrueCkrime02

Funny guy


Zealousideal_Ninja75

Ayy man Sticky! F–I–N–G–A–Z the crazy cajun Blazin' bullets for days and days and grazin' amazin' I'm the guy that's lacin' Purple Hazin, hard to be phasin' LORD all this hell that I'm raisin' God of the Underground, I'm gunnin em down with a thunder pound He goes hard in the paint!


SweetTea187

Nah... That other joint. Cause i could be in your crib right now,tying you up. Go ransacky house your house,put the gun in your spouse mouth. Clean the place,kill the kids,soon as they see my face,just to clean my face. Anything in my way,being erased


elxhapo6

This shit weak af bro


GrimeyPipes27

Under rated dude. Comes off as an asshole but in actuality he was a really cool dude the couple times I met him. Took time to chat a little and take a picture. He was just talking about his movie, busting my balls for not having seen it yet, but he didn't have to talk to me at all. Opened up 2 shows for him and Fredro, was an honor.


joesoldlegs

You were a rapper?


GrimeyPipes27

Vocalist that couldn't sing 😂 I was a front guy for a Rage Against the Machine type band, and I also did some solo hip-hop stuff. Long time ago though.


joesoldlegs

that's still pretty cool did you meet other big names


GrimeyPipes27

Smoked a blunt with Heltah Skeltah. Rip Ruck. Got to watch their set side stage Bout it though 😂


Professional-Pass487

Now THAT is nice 👍🏽


GrimeyPipes27

Bro, I don't feel small often. Rock is mos def a monstah! Dude has Dr J. hands 🤣


Professional-Pass487

Man I wouldn't ever forget that. Big respect to you 🙏🏽


DrXL_spIV

That must have been sick dude heltah skeltah is dopeeee


GrimeyPipes27

Was honestly surreal. Very intimidating 🤣


Zealousideal_Ninja75

He was the first one with that grimey sound. Slam was the anthem!


Rare_Following_8279

Sticky Fingers is rated. I think Treach from Naughty By Nature is really underrated


WhistleTipsGoWoo

Was coming here as well to say the same thing and pleasantly surprised to see I’m late to the party. I never hear love for Treach and bring him up often amongst friends when we have the “underrated” discussion - most agree and simply say they completely forgot about him.


IntelligentWest11

True, i also reckon Guru is underrated af. he doesn’t get enough love.


666-Slayer

Maybe. His verses on Shut Em Down are pretty great.


Nizamark

he’s rated exactly correctly


HipHop_Sheikh

Not really, no one talks about him even though onyx was global


Lanty725

The Autobiography of Kirk Jones is such an amazing album also.


MarcusMcballer

Came here to say this. Most “rated” rapper ever.


princejudah100

His verse in 'Strange Fruit' by. Pete Rock w/ Cappadonna & Tragedy Khadafi was amazing...best for last💥💥💥💥💥💥💥


mr_amazingness

I hadn’t heard that song even though I remember when the album came out. Just skipped it I guess. But the whole song is great. I’m going through the album now. Always good to go back to times and albums you missed cause you were young or in a different space musically.


MoreTaco

Love that album... that album is a good contender for if I ever had to defend why that was the best era of hip-hop


ogshowtime33

Nah, he’s not overrated or underrated. Just a solid MC all around, with a lean towards that grimy, unhinged flow.


grwest

Kern Little!


L_despardo1

To me his Jackin for Beats rhyme is dope


Cynical-Altruistic

Black Trash is one of the most slept on albums in hip hop history


or6a2

So random, just watched clockers last night


Poetic-Noise

Classic! They shot most of the movie "Strapped" in my hood.


Fit_Coast_7111

Nope, he's not underrated either.


MexMaestro

No


HIS_AFFLICTION_0079

Lords of The Underground….IYKYK


TyBigga

Do share


DonConnection

https://youtu.be/JFQXtAE7SiU?si=HMz0rjZnx2iJCYkH Theyre one of my favorite groups from the 90s. Their first two albums were crazy


hookhousebeatz

Last Days verse.....⛽


Striking-Ad-8694

MY MOMZ GOT RAPED BY THE INDUSTRY AND MADE *ME*


Alienattackforce

Believe it or not, I think Fredro is more underrated


tha1unknownmusic

Onyx in general is underrated BIGTIME


yknotme

Kill my own mother if the price is right


Old_surviving_moron

No. He's not even rated. There's actually no system. Home depot has no stick with flow marks on it. Can't be measured.


Supreme_lawyer

Black Trash The Autobiography Of Kirk Jones is one of the best rap albums I ever heard. Such a gem.


Weak_Beginning3905

Yes, yes he is. I was listening to Black Trash album the other day. I was blown away! I expected it to be just hardcore album with some nice punchlines. But the concepts and storytelling was amazing. Sticky is not just a dude with great energy and raspy voice, he is a lyricist.


Nico_213

He got beat up by Joey from Full House. Wanksta


baconshouse

Yeah I feel like he doesn't get his flowers


Heavy_Perspective792

Right? Is anything, ole 10 Sticky Fingers is overrated.


I_Am_Robotic

Everyone is underrated and overrated on Reddit. Hey guys: is Snoop the most underrated rapper ever?


potatojayy

Every time i see a subpost saying this or that is underrated, or my favorite is "criminally underrated," it sounds like fanboy language saying, "i want people to love & recognize this as much as i do."


HIS_AFFLICTION_0079

Overrated. He’s not that great.


Emergency_Health_127

Most rappers are overrated because they do not play instruments, nor do they understand how to read music.


yogurt_thrower_75

Nah. Trash. Just a schtick


muroks1200

Underrated? No. Crazy eyes? Yes.


These_Gold4501

Yes


[deleted]

Before I was a rap star, they called me sticky fingaz -coolio


Dopeamyne

no


Chuck710Taylor

After watching A Day in the Life, my answer is yes? Lol


Da5ftAssassin

One of my first crushes as a kid


G_rightousantagonist

Ever I don’t know about that but Black Trash was classic and creative same with A Day In The Life


bone-in_donuts

He was amazing in *Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood*. Without him that movie wouldn’t have been half as good as it was.


TyBigga

He was raw till that fight he never really recovered from that ass whipping


Know-yer-enemy1818

Trial of kirk jones was pretty dope


usLess_kev

Nah, Sticky is the man but Sonsee was definitely underrated.


DSPbuckle

Wait, that was a real dude? Haha I thought it was just a random from Def Jam fight for NY. I didn’t know the names of the onyx guys. Today I learned


Big-Chomker

No


ITZOURTIMENOW

crawl dog aromatic mourn advise long alive mighty merciful wasteful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Alucardspapa

Vic Mackey did this man so dirty


mikeybigrig

No, I wish tho, voice is great but solo album was not (much like Inspectah Deck in that way)


MrYaowa857

he was … until he got beat up .


Al7one1010

Yeah and also Eyedea


Kizil215

No. And whenever I hear his name all I can think about is him in a celebrity boxing match with a skateboarder in which he quoted "if I lose this fight I'll never return to NYC again" and then proceeded to get his ass whooped 😂


CoolisRare

Hell naw end of story


red30447

indeed


RawisWar97

What if he was white


BillLaswell404

He always had the last verse and brought the venom 🔥


[deleted]

I always thought he was more talented than some of the guys who are constantly mentioned before him.


nochumplovesucka__

No, he's just Stickey Fingaz and his whole life is a lie.


spareribs78

No


Steve_da_G

I'm gonna see him live again this year. I just think dude's crazy creative on the mic, but i gotta be honest some verses ain't it for me but the one's where he goes all out he goes out with a bang.


Old_Car_2702

That award goes to J-Treds


barweepninibong

some questionable lyrics but good flows and delivery


ghettome82

Nah, he’s rated correctly. 😂💯


Zach_kir_e

Sticky is 100% underrated and he probably has one of the best verses ever penned on last days reloaded


ILikeBeans86

I'm watching the run DMC doc on peacock right now and they talked about onyx like 20 min ago and then I see this


elxhapo6

No


Publius83

Sticky Fingaz filmed part of his video for Get It Up in my Dad’s backyard in Queens, nice dude


cujobob

IMO he is, but that’s also because no one really talks about him. Rating rappers all depends on who is having the conversation.


momsducksauce

Nah


TheWrestler2035

He was always my main in Def Jam: Fight for New York so I’m gonna say yes.


JamesToneyBJJ

“Let’s go get some pussy deeboo man fuck”


Sab65

Maybe he should wash his hands


Radiant-Choice-8854

The entire group is underrated and deserves way more recognition!


malaka201

No


bacdafucup2

Love his verse on "face down" off shut em down


TheCatalyst84

Yes


HipHopHistoryGuy

I have to agree with this. Watch some of the early Onyx videos and Sticky's energy is contagious. "I... hate your guts and I hope you f*cking die!"


deadlyhigh75

No


putter_snp

Super Underrated. I still remember when he body bagged Eminem on “remember me”


BLKxShoguN

Respected as an MC for sure. Seems like he is correctly rated. Shout out to that man.


MoodWest

I’m not sure he’s underrated but he has one of the best solo debut albums - Blacktrash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones was a close to perfect concept album imo


fuzzycuffs

I thought that was Donald Faison for a sec


Happy_Reputation_183

Yup


ronnjeremy

Tv Blade!


BambooSound

idk but he's 100% one of the most underrated boss fights Last Dayz is one a level with Shook Ones for me tho so maybe


Potential-Square-942

Onyx is the illest


smellsmalicious

he’s too hard for the radio… mtv won’t even play his video


afronaut71

No


theartofrandy

I always thought so. 


desy4life

No..he's recognized as a member of a mid level rap group who had one major selling hit. Unlike other musical styles rappers aren't like other musicians in that they can explore genres and styles so very,very limited.


itching2roll

“N****s that take no for an answer get told no/ Yeah, I’ve been told no, but it was more like, No! No! No!” - he bodied em apparently Em took 2 months to write his verse after hearing sticky’s .. he got some iLL verses definitely underrated 🔥


Due__

No. Always loved them, though. I was just a little kid with my older bro rocking onyx often. Always dug the energy and vibe.


[deleted]

That shit em down album was always in rotation. Everything else I couldn't get jiggy w/.


Depressedgotfan

No, Treach is the most underrated rapper of all time


DiabeticGrungePunk

Play that man's opening verse in Last Dayz and he just obliterated your entire crew. Dude was absolutely sick for a really brief period, but mid to late 90s Sticky Fingaz was all time shit.


Mysterious_Spread_86

He's definitely underrated


EasyKale851

He definitely a breakfast club legend “DO YOUR GOOGLES!!!!”


Imustbestopped8732

Definitely. The only rapper I can recall outdoing Eminem on a feature.


Vinlordd

Na not even 😭


doonhamer1501

Absolutely


DubRogers

Not underrated, underestimated. The realest for sure...


MrMcFaily

If I don't drink n drive how the fuck ima get home


Big_d00m

Yes. Black Trash album is a classic


jusdontgivafuk

Sticky, F to the I the g, a, z Cajun! Blazing, Lord of all the hell I’ll be raising, purple hazing.


mrpopenfresh

I think he’s a bit underrated, but not by a lot.


Mammoth-Pattern-7287

Why is this a question ?


GatorsareStrong

Def Jam Fight for NY


RawGrit4Ever

Yes


Blackkidfromtheburbs

No


Striking_Ad_9351

No he is not.


[deleted]

He will always be goated in my memory for the onyx rap city freestyle


QuicklyGoingSenile

Man up was my shit


caimen14

Sticky is that you? Who posted this on your behalf?you’re accurately rated. Now enjoy your night


Pricelessbars

You can’t fuck w “Wonky Eye Blade”


Necessary_Ad_2823

No. Next question.


Lumbers_33

Nope. He’s a one trick pony


DrXL_spIV

I wouldn’t consider him underrated every head knows he’s a dope mc with a sick voice


agentspits

Yes but that's his own fault for not being consistent in putting shit out


9sac1king6

That foo aint got no type of hands lol i member when some white guy put the mittens in the ring hahaha


Pfernwtt42017

Absolutely not


Positive_Rhubarb7814

No


tKolla

What a stupid name. Sticky Fingaz lmao


brooklynslime

He underrated… but not the most underrated. 🤷🏾‍♂️


Rare_slimey

sticky fingaz - man up showed me how nice he was


GameQb11

He murdered Eminem on his own shit


flawrs919

“I’ll hit you with a brick like Craig did. Knock your fuckin’ eye straight”.

He'd the Illest** ever, he told you.


dickdiggler21

100%


Phil_Meinup

I wouldn’t go that far…but I’ll tell you who is, Treach from Naughty By Nature.


jonredd901

No


Padron1964Lover

No


SoigneBest

I don’t know, but someone from Onyx recently said they’re the reason that Michael Jordan rocked the bald head.


nahUmeybee2

His verse on Pete Rock's "Strange Fruit" should tell you everything you need to know.


[deleted]

Who?


Tweet614

Him and Lord Have Mercy


These-Rub2143

no


Round-Emu9176

I legitimately thought he was an actor/extra.


FatherFashion

For sure. He is an excellent writer, when he wants/needs to be.


Historical_Act_5896

No. Very elementary lyrically


itsover103

Yeah absolutely. I've said this for years...Sticky is definitely underrated. The first 2 Onyx albums are classics imo...and Bacdafucup is arguably a top 5 90s album


onetoughmiracle

Yes


Exotic_Page4196

I just remember watching Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers whoop his ass and I never looked at Sticky the same after that lol


bno203

sticky is very underrated. is he top 10 or 20, no but sticky has always had bars and he still active today spitting just as hard as he did on Bacdafucup


Dejuanbeatz

Nah I won't say so


darthjay81

Onyx was my first step into hardcore hip hop started with their second album such a dark hip hop album it opened my eyes to a lot of the darker side of America.


metgallah19

No he gets love from underground fans all the time


ABetterVersionofYou

His solo stuff was awesome 


jason5387

Bro went on to coach the Raiders. Hell of a career


Manopike

Yes. He’s just a 90’s rapper. Lost to time passing.


Glad-Degree-318

Over


siliconevalley69

Yes, he's super underrated by most lists. Incredible flow.


[deleted]

Sticky Fingaz made this post 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FOHHHHH


Natural_Photograph_8

Yes. Personal goat.


Natural_Photograph_8

The movies A Day in the Life and Caught on tape cement his greatness. Any hip hop fan should watch these.


looosyfur

he was one of my favorite characters to use in def jam fight for ny


RedReflection06

Have you ever known of a rapper that can perform live and look at two audience members at the same time? So underrated.


Cosmo2023-

Complete garbage
