“I’m seeing killers cry…with tears in their eyes.” “I know Mike liked motherfucking fried chicken. I know that for a fact. Finger licking good.” I never understood the Gibbs is boring slander. He remains the funniest interview I’ve ever had. No one gives less of a fuck and no one does better imitations. Ask to… Continue reading »
Deen’s been sleeping so much he started getting carded again. Hola. Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I didn’t – being crippled and all, but that ain’t your problem. Guess it’s back to the grind again for all of us. And by “all of us” that means Gangsta Gibbs too. You must have been insane to… Continue reading »
If I was a rapper with a budget, I would fork over cash for features to only a few: Freddie Gibbs, Gunplay, Roc Marciano, Kendrick Lamar, or Schoolboy Q. Even when those guys mail in a verse, it still somehow sounds better than 99.9 percent of their peers — so much that I am contractually… Continue reading »
Deen stays ’bout it. Hey there. It’s your resident Freddie Gibbs stan again. Call me biased, but Baby Face Killa hasn’t left the rotation since it dropped. But you already knew that. In any event, Fredericko decided to shoot a video for one of my favorite tracks on the mixtape – “BFK.” The second I… Continue reading »
Hola. It’s been a minute since I wrote anything about anything – that’s Freddie Gibbs’ fault. I’ve been bumping Baby Face Killa on a loop for a while now and I’ve had zero interest in listening to or writing about anything else. It’s that serious. I realize that it isn’t a perfect mixtape, but I’d… Continue reading »
Doc Zeus is the blog game, Roger Dorn. Things seemed so promising in 2008. Rap blogs had seemingly democratized how new artists were heard and a generational shift of new stars was ostensibly on the way. A Zeitgest-capturing XXL cover hailed these “diverse” Internet-incubated rappers poised to lift hip hop out of the doldrums —… Continue reading »
Freddie Gibbs, the last of the Mohicans, drops Baby Face Killa today. I will refrain from a full fledged review because Deen is on it and it may be the last thing he reviews this year. Thus, is the power of Gangsta Gibbs to steer him away from whatever else drops. How good is this… Continue reading »
Jimmy Ness has judged several semi-professional Twerk competitions. Gangsta Gibbs is on a roll. The ex-train robber once dropped from Interscope has since carved a niche for those who prefer gritty street tales over label-endorsed lollipop guild rap. The Baby Face Killa has recorded an album, three EPs and at least a dozen collaborations within… Continue reading »
This is a song called “Kush Cloud” by Freddie Gibbs, Krayzie Bone, and Spaceghost Purrp. There are allusions to “Mo Murda,” “Look Into My Eyes,” and “Thug Luv.” If you’ll excuse me I’m going to get high at 10:21 in the morning, load this on my iPod, and play this 666 times throughout the remainder… Continue reading »
