Is Childish Gambino considered a top emcee?

[Neuromancer]

I don't mean top 5. But maybe 10 or 15. I listen to freestyles like this and I wonder why people don't talk about him often.



Or commercial joints like this.


I wonder what it is. Can anyone explain why he's not really mentioned

 

[Lord Mecca]

No.

 

[MoneyTron]

Nah but in my opinion, he might be third behind Cee-Lo and Lauryn Hill as a singer/rapper. Dude is obviously extremely talented.

 

[Theodoresolderbreh]

i would think so. regardless how you feel he can spit and is heads and shoulders ahead of most of his peers atm so i think so

 

[Neuromancer]

No.

Why not?

 

[True Sinister]

Of course not.

He's a actor/voice actor/comedian who happens to rap.

His big hit is him singing like a girl

 

[WickedGames]

Definitely a top artist.

He can spit though

 

[Lootpack]

Hell no, and I'm a big fan of his.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hell no, and I'm a big fan of his.

But why not? He got bars.

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

He doesn't have one solid album to crack Top 20.

But he's a man of many trades.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

He ain't up there because people ain't putting him there. He might as well ride the Atlanta train as long as he can.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Of course not.

He's a actor/voice actor/comedian who happens to rap.

His big hit is him singing like a girl

Pac was an actor who rapped.

Discuss!!

If he had more joints like this



he'd probably be my favorite rapper.


The problem is with his talent as an emcee, I feel that his albums aren't doing him justice. Dude needs to get in the zone and pump out a 4/5 album at the least.

 

[SheriffOG]

But why not? He got bars.

Rap wasn't his come up or his main hustle so he's not relatable. my thoughts anyway, i think hes dope
