Im prepared to give Freddie Gibbs Cormega's spot or right after Az's spot in the game right now.
He has 2 classic or near classic albums.
Yet... production carries him.
He has NO battles. No hit singles.
About 5 quotables that I can think of off the top of my head.
He hasn't done anything legendary yet REALLY.
He needs to battle somebody and he needs to run atleast 2-3 summers to look inside top 25 ever lists. he is top 50 for sure tho
behind redman Az, before cormega, after mc eiht.
he is nice and top 5 in the 2010's nicer than j cole to me but he needs to solidify his spot by more classics and some battles.
Thats my honest opinion.
nikkas in the top ten all have ended careers. have 1-3 classics, classic singles, and songs immortalized in hiphop.
sidenote. Scottie pippen verse from freddie gibbs is one of the best rhymes i heard this decade. But thats his biggest accolade.
