I did say the bar is low for mainstream rap, and you never listened to dude but he is in your top 10 from this freestyle alone? I have listened to quite a bit of Sauce (his pandemic run specifically) and I keep trying to see the hype. He isn't better than many of the staples, Cole, Kendrick, Drake. He isn't better than the vets that still make music like Nas, Em, TI, Big Boi, Killer Mike, Lupe, Royce, Game. I just listed 10 and I could go on.If the bars low it wouldn't take much to be top ten. It's not like you could name ten active rappers better than him that everyone would agree with.
Never listened to dude but he had some shyt on this.
