    Top 10 rapper of the past decade, perhaps even top 5. I don't think he's necessarily slept on cuz he's lauded by critics and fans alike, but a lot of his music has a ceiling for how popular it can be. But I think he does have a little untapped potential for scoring some minor radio hits based upon some of the more singsongy stuff he's done.

    I don't really like J. Cole but lyrically especially he's definitely more consumer friendly than Gibbs is

    Absolutely respected and appreciated within hip-hop circles. I'd wager he would've blew up had the sexual assault case not stop him in his tracks momentum-wise.

    Freddie Gibbs is the man. I still listen to this on the regular.

    @Donkey Kong Cuntry hit the nail on the head. He's highly respected and gets acclaim on almost everything he puts out, so wouldn't say underrated. But definitely hasn't reached the commercial heights of bigger names in the game.

    While we're on the topic, here's a question: Bandana vs. Alfredo? The more I listen, the more I think Alfredo >

    He's a contender for best rapper in the game right now. Freddie Gibbs and Griselda were the standouts in 2020. Good to see traditional types of hip hop flourishing.

    Well I mean that's an unofficial upload from three years after BFK came out, and unfortunately 2012 is during that time right before streaming started getting popular where a lot of music that could have been huge hits got lost in the free mixtape shuffle. Rap had largely moved on from that type of hit at that point as well.
