agree  Tom Bishop: Definitely "nul". I think that "médiocre" is probably too formal a register. Unless of course the context is a rapper who has difficulty in walking! ;-)

  -> Merci Tom, vu qu'il n'y a pas de contexte, on ne connait pas le registre.. sinon il y'a toujours "naze", "rappeur de m*rde".. heh, la liste est longue.. ;)

rappeur commercial, vendu


Explanation:
Bien que je sois d'accord avec ce qui a été proposé, un rapide parcours de la toile me suggère que "lame rapper" s'applique souvent à des rappeurs au style commercial et/ou aux ventes indécentes par rapport à leur talent (du point de vue de la personne employant l'expression, bien entendu).

J'aime bien le "rappeur bidon" qui a été proposé en haut, aussi.
