Are you up on the latest and greatest? If not, don't worry, because Complex TV has got you covered with our new series the C-List. Whether it's music, sports or movies, we highlight everything you need to know in pop culture. The series is hosted by the lovely and talented Dariany Santana, who delivers a play-by-play on the biggest stories of today.

In this episode of the C-List, Dariany Santana counts down the 5 most slept-on rappers of all time. Whether because of timing or just plain bad luck, these MC's were never given their just due. Big Pun is a clear choice for this list, who passed at the untimely age of 28 in 2000. He released Capital Punishment in 1998, which many consider a classic for it's incredibly sharp lyricism from the Bronx MC. That was followed up with Yeeeah Baby, a solid sophomore effort that came out a few months after he died. Tragedy Khadafi also makes the cut, and with good reason. The Queensbridge-based rapper was instrumental in paving the way for other MC's from his borough like Nas and Capone-N-Noreaga. However, due to jail time and a closing window for fame, Khadafi missed his opportunity to make it big. Who's the most slept-on rapper of all time? Watch above to find out.
