This hip hop shyt is way deeper than we realize sometimes. Here’s a list of 50 plus really dope rappers. Who you putting Gibbs over with ease?

i know where to look. im not judging it off of just mainstream wackness.
its the weakest decade by far.
The 2010's were amazing for me. I was well fed the whole time, especially the past couple years.
it had some good stuff, but paled in comparison to the 4 previous decades.

He's easily top 5 fo this decade. He's a tier JUST below the elite imo

Yeah. This is my feelings exactly. ALL of that list, have a classic genre defining album (and some, several)

Dunno where I'd place him or any active rapper who is still making good music. Gotta wait and see where things end up. I want to see Gibbs continue to grow as an artist and writer. He's always gonna be able to give us gangsta shyt, and shyt talking...but I love hearing him get personal and rap about other shyt. He's done it on multiple projects, most recently Alfredo.
Multiple great projects, from trap (Shadow Of A Doubt) to non-trap (Pinata, Bandana, Alfredo, Baby Faced Killa, etc) and a lot of other solid shyt. ESGN might be the only project he's released in the last 10 years that I thought was meh...and even that has some dope tracks.
I'd rather compare him to peers. He's up there with Kendrick, Danny Brown, Vince, Earl, and others who have released multiple stand out albums.

Being honest he’s currently not on the list anywhere that’s worth mentioning but he is talented and has the potential maybe to rise 1 day.
think Freddie Gibbs cares about catering to mainstream brehs.

A lot of goats didn't give a fukk about mainstream like that, the quality was just simply undeniable. You think death certificate was for white people? Whilst I agree that he ain't tryna be mainstream, Gibbs does need to resonate with the overall hip hop audience (hip hop audience, NOT white america), right now whilst gibbs is very much top tier imo, he doesn't really have that "one" undeniable song/hit. I mean for goodness sake, griselda argubly have that song in dr birds, is that song mainstream to you?

I don't ponder on other people's opinion or how it affected others when I make personal favorite lists. For me, he's easily one of the most consistent rappers ever and he's one of the best flows/spitters. That's enough for me to put him on my top lists. Simply that I listen to his music a lot. Arts are way too subjective to make non-personal lists on them, it's not like sports, basically, everything comes down to personal opinions/tastes and if you try to quantify it somehow you will end up going by sales, radio plays and whatnot and there's no point in that.
It's like I won't put McDonalds above my favorite local burger joint on an imaginary list just cause a lot more people know and have eaten in McDonalds.
