Top 5 currently? Possibly but that's because the competition is just weak right now. All time? No.

Acting: weak outside of Atlanta
Comedy: cringeworthy
Writing: good
Rapping: was cringeworthy, now decent to good
Singing: POLARIZING (I don't mind it, but some people absolutely hate it)

He's still got a long way to go. Currently overrated but on top due to the "one negro at a time" rule.

I finally watched Atlanta.

I love the Paper Boi song. It's not really a song. Just a minute long snippet. But it's dope. Of course Stay Woke is that shyt (I know it's called Redbone. But fukc that. It has named itself).

Atlanta was not bad but it I had to force myself through it in spots.

His Prowler cameos in Spider Man(s) was similarly okay.

Now watching Mr and Mrs Smith. Again.. cool so far but not great yet.

My favorite version of him was in Community.. but he played a buffoon.

Stay Woke is his greatest achievement.

He’s a jack of all trades. He’s a C tier Comedian. B+ tier writer, B tier musician and dropped 2 good albums throughout his career. He deserves his flowers but he’s not in the top echelon of any creative field.

Top 10. Troy Barnes is one of the funniest tv characters in the last 20 years, and DG is the only person who I feel could've made the character work.
