You can scratch Freddie Gibbs name off of the skinny jeans, mohawk wearing, making up lies on records mc list.
The Gary, Indiana native and member of 2010 XXL's Freshman Class is here to bring that realness back. He just dropped his banging new mixtape 'Str8 Killa No Filla' this week. And is in full grind mode as he gears up for his album 'The Devil's Palace' which will be produced by The Alchemist.
Gibbs raised a few eyebrows when he recently tweeted, "who are you? Rick Ross, Big Meech or Larry Hoover? the rap game is like halloween every day."
He talked to Complex recently and clarified what he meant.
"That’s real, man. That dude makes good records, but I just can’t support no bold-faced lying on records. I guess he’s entertaining people. It’s like a movie, like Scarface. He can have that fake lane. I’ll stay in the real lane. We got a non-fiction lane of rap, that’s how I’m looking at it now. So you got that fiction lane over there where they’re doing all them. I do the non-fiction, the autobiography, the real s***. It’s all good. S*** like that just make it easier for me to stand out, and easier for me to put my work in to be highly respected. I’ll never ever fabricate nothing or act like I’m something that I’m not or try to be another n****. I can’t do that. I just think you gotta respect the streets and respect this Midwest culture. I mean you can’t really trip on him yelling names out. This the same dude that told you he knew Noriega when he first came out, so…
Rap’s so f****** watered down right now, you can be a m************ C.O., you can kiss a n****, and as long as you making good music, these niggas don’t give a f***. With me I’ma make good music, be a man of my word, and live how I’m rapping. It’s a fine line between artistry and authenticity, and I just think that I just combine all of that, and everybody can’t do that. It definitely makes it difficult from a mainstream-radio standpoint, but I can care less. That’s only because these dudes have those machines behind them and those marketing dollars behind them to dress their fake s*** up. But I’m not trying to fabricate nothing or dress nothing up to be something that it’s not. I ain’t a n**** with no furs, but I’ve sold a lot of crack. A lot of pills. But I wasn’t that n**** like that. It seem like all these niggas in the rap game trying to tell the boss story when 90% of these niggas was never the boss. I was never no coke boss of my neighborhood. I was a shooter, a corner boy. So that’s the perspective I gotta tell you from. I can’t tell you that perspective with no n**** that live in those million-dollar houses, I ain’t never had that."
Gibbs is no fan of the most obnoxious DJ ever either. In another Tweet he wrote “much love to all the real DJs in the game. To all the ones that be tryin to rap and be diddy eat a d***.”
He clarified that statement also:
"I mean it was just a general thing. I wasn’t angry at nobody. Specifically I was talking about DJ Khaled, if people wanna know. I don’t like what he’s doing rapping on records and s*** like that, but you know, to each his own. I’m not taking away nothing that he did in the game or the success that he’s had, ’cause he’s done his thing and made bread, but I just think that so many niggas are making a mockery of this rap game right now. It’s like, real MCs doing they thang, putting this real s*** down, real lyrics, and can’t get breathing room ’cause you got f*** s*** like that. I think that s*** is garbage. I don’t like what that s*** stand for
He got his position, though. DJ Khaled ain’t a rapper. Don’t matter if you nice or not. Play your role, play your position. No way that n**** can be nice, listen to his f****** voice. [Laughs.] He a DJ. He do his thing. Scream on your records. Say “nigga” and all that s*** you like to say. I’m surprised m************ ain’t check him for that. Clowns like that in the game I don’t really pay attention to. I respect his success, and the way he did what he did to make his paper, but I don’t respect his art none whatsoever"
