Devin the Dude is consistently one of Houston's most underrated rappers. The Dude has been in the Houston rap game for awhile now (since his 1998 debut The Dude) and has enjoyed considerable underground success, especially in the Houston regional scene. His collaboration with Dr. Dre on the Chronic 2001 hit "Fuck you" brought some mainstream name recognition. Unlike some of Houston's more commercially appealing stars ala Slim Thug and Paul Wall (although I'm not quite sure why Paul Wall is really appealing), Devin's style is truly unique. His self-deprecation and subtle humor bring a fresh perspective to a hip-hop culture so obsessed with being serious or wealthy or whatever it is all these rappers are chasing.
