that's an understatement lol
if Def Jam knew how to market him better when they still had him he would easily be in the same conversations with Kendrick and J. Cole by now, shit to me he's a more complete and better overall artist than both of them

I'm a huge Krit fan but it's not only a question of marketing, it's also a question of musical direction and consistency.
None of his albums come close to a GKMC, a TPAB, or a 2014FHD. Ever since his first Def Jam album (Live from the Underground), his albums have been inconsistent. Also Krit is a poet and a good rapper, but nowhere near as dope as Cole & Kendrick. He's a doper producer for sure (although Cole is a good producer too), but the reason he's not in the same conversation as Cole & Dot is not only marketing (although it plays a factor because you get many overrated artists, with the right marketing push, popping up in these conversations), but the type of artists these kind of conversations feature in the first place. The criteria rarely feature production skills. The major criteria for these kind of questions are : skills, longevity, and classic releases. To me, Krit doesn't have a classic release except Return of 4eva and that was an independent release.

i disagree, i think krit is def up there wit kendrick and better than cole .... his best albums rank up there too. the fact that he produces his own shit is the icing on the cake.

in no order these are my top 3 (I can't rank his new album just yet):
Return Of 4Eva
4Eva & A Day
Cadillactica
I think the main factor why Krit's indie releases are better is because he was unable to clear many samples for his Def Jam releases which is something he has even addressed, similar to how UGK's first 2 albums were good but could have been classic if certain samples were simply usable and the production wasn't stripped down
