Just not as marketable.
Glad he still has a big following / loyal fan base. He should continue enjoying a long career.
My bad
I’m saying BS came out to try to counter the reception of his debut, whether it worked or not BS had more of a creative direction but that just led him to drop FHD (which was like him coming back to his roots)
If FNL dropped first I’m not sure if he would’ve felt the need to prove anything
agreed. debut was blah. born sinner was ok but had too much filler. fhd is his best album by far. this may not be a hot take but his tapes are def. better than his albums.
KRIT has never been able to write a song as good as Money Trees or No Role Modelz
after FNL, his debut was dookie in comparison
after we found out that was supposed to be the album too
If FNL was his debut his career trajectory probably would’ve been different
Wouldn’t had felt the need to drop BS which we probably would’ve never gotten FHD
talking about krit
KRIT has never been able to write a song as good as Money Trees or No Role Modelz
Imagine believing this lmao
Geography lottery
His accent too thick for most people
Which is sad cause he makes incredible music and produces his own s***. In my personal top 5 favorite artists
All it is man.
Niggas need to stop lying on Krizzle smh
No mainstream appeal tbh but I agree with the consensus he dropped better projects
not as charismatic, not as interesting musically or personally, some anti-country/southern bias (j cole from nc ik but his music sound very east coast), and he also was less consistent than the other 2 once they all got established (but very consistent early on ofc)

Surprised it took this long for his accent to be mentioned. Definitely a factor imo
how do you not throw money at records like i got this here or cool 2 be southern

People mentioned him being too southern/country on the first page. That's included in that

Yes he has!
All jokes aside he didn’t have a mentor or successor usher him in like the others dude had.
K.R.I.T. to me is the biggest example of why the "big 3" era was so detrimental to hip hop as a whole. Its like if you werent those 3 niggas you was autonatically seen as lesser than even if that wasnt true most of the time (e.g. wale tbh)
Cause I always thought that as far as singing, rapping, content, flow, that K.R.I.T. was always just better than Cole. Cole is great but like...The Vent, Lions and Lambs, Kings Blues, and Bury Me In Gold? Krit just an alien bruh.
I think the difference is that Cole was at the right place at the right time (and you can argue had 'more appeal') and was given WAAAAY more grace after his flop of a debut versus K.R.I.T.'s flop of a debut (It always felt like after Live from The Underground, which the label f***ed up, he never could shake that 'stench' away. Even though both Cadillactica and 4Eva is a Mighty Long Time are both perfect albums, the latter being a top 5 rap album of last decade) and it just always was one of the biggest stains of the big 3 era to me that KRIT couldn't get his deserved shine.
And that s*** just ain't fair especially for his discography (Return of 4Eva is still the best mixtape of the 2010s.)
exactly this man
All jokes aside he didn’t have a mentor or successor usher him in like the others dude had.
this is huge. drake had wayne, cole had jay and what remained of the roc, kendrick had the whole west coast. they're good on their own merits but that gave them huge boosts. krit as good as he is was kinda just his own thing
