You covered everything I wanted to say in your subsequent posts. The only thing I will add is the power of words and naming things.
His name is an acronym, and that is dope as hell. However, it implies getting his flowers later: King Remembered In Time. No matter how he markets it, he's directly saying that people will realize his status later. Yes, he wants to be remembered. However, he wants to be acknowledged today too. Imagine TI calling himself the King of South Eventually. Would he be as revered and respected? That's essentially Big KRIT's name: "I'm a big deal, but you'll get it later." It was clever but has no confidence when you sit with it.
Everything else flows from that name: As a fan, I feel like his career is built on tomorrow because we will know that he was one of the best out when we look back, so that keeps him from going or having to go as hard as he can today.
Other words, the onus is on us to realize the greatness he dabbles in displaying on the "Mt. Olympuses," "Lac Lacs," "Hometown Heroes," and "Soul Foods" rather than on him having to prove his own point, which is that he's Big King. We'll remember him though. Just not acknowledge or pay homage today.
And I hate that for him because I been a fan a long ass time.
