Waka Flocka Calls Big K.R.I.T. ‘Southern Version of Nas’ and Says No One Can Out-Rap Him

[Playaz Eyez]

Same here, his first couple mixtapes were fire then his studio albums were duds.

This is not true at all outside of his most recent album, which he was very hands off with

Major label albums hurt krit since they were nothing special. But the mixtape projects were incredible. Def Jam did give him creative freedom, but the sample clearance situation kills the creative process when you have deadlines to hit.

Krit's first two mixtapes are truly classics - Krit Wuz Here, Return of 4Eva

Neither of those had any business being mixtapes. Possibly the biggest misstep of his career

unfortunately, it may have been really tough to get the necessary sample clearances for those mixtapes.

shyt, 4eva N A Day (3rd mixtape before his debut album) was also ridiculously good. probably wouldn't have gotten or been able to afford those sample clearances either.

this is all just my assumption btw.

I was a krit fan and still am to some extent. I thought the last album (the double album) was dope.

I think where KRIT fukked up was that he was trying to be too many things at the same time.

One song he's a pimp, the next song he's a social critic, the next he's doing love songs, the next he's super lyrical, the next he's emo, etc. All on one album. Notice how all the other emcees from his era picked maybe one or two lanes and stuck with them.

Currensy was the weed smoking hustler
Kendrick was the introverted conceptual rapper
Drake made the girl songs
Etc, etc

KRIT was good in all of those lanes but he should have picked a couple. Instead he wanted to be everything to everyone. And the same goes for his production. He's great at making beats but it also felt like he was tryong to prove he could do it all. And yes, he could do it all but it ended up sounding forced because it felt like he was trying to impress instead of just doing what he felt. Which is why most of his album sounded formulatic. It felt like they were checking boxes for types of songs.

But i did fukk with king remembered in time and the 4ever is a mighty long time albums.

If 2 of those first 3 mixtapes should’ve been albums tbh

I always considered Return to be a classic. It seems like sample clearances and a label steering the ship hurt him. I though “Cadillactica” was a near classic as it got, for a studio album. It seemed closest to his mixtapes.

Def Jam really fumbled with Krits career. All of his best music from that time period is sample based and on his mixtapes.

Krit also doesn't seem to have the personality or drive to be out there touring constantly and interacting with his fans on the same level as a J Cole though.

In saying that, I copped everything official he ever dropped and I've been eating good the whole time.

Always thought KRIT should be where Cole is...but the way college age (mainly women) support Cole, KRIT never got that same kinda love.

KRIT & Currensy get disrespected imo

Spitta and Krit should do an EP
