Deen is not berserk. Gangsta Gibbs never really gives us much time to breathe. To quote that now boring, but still genius white nigga, “rap feels so empty without (him).” At least for those of us that still dig gangsta rap. I dunno about the rest of you muthafuckas. Thankfully, Gibbs works really hard to […]

Will Hagle has seen you’ve played knifey spooney before. Flume’s self-titled debut album was released less than a year ago, but the SoundCloud comments on the LP’s re-released, revamped “Holdin’ On” dismiss it as old. Even Flume himself lists Flying Lotus, now essentially one of his contemporaries, as one of his major influences. The Australian-bred […]

Part of Gibbs and Madlib’s campaign to get people to no longer rely on KFC. We all know the chicken is mostly worthless there and the sides are what it’s all about. Harold’s is a Windy City institution, but with no LA branch — this offers me no context. I will say that there are […]

The odds of Freddie Gibbs delivering audio dope when he starts a song off with the word “Slamming,” are even higher than the winning percentage of a regular Gangsta Gibbs song — or even higher than gangsta Gibbs himself. The second time I ever interviewed him, I smoked three blunts in one hour with him […]

Alchemist unleashing the hordes smoking girl scout cookie strains inside his Santa Monica Game of Thrones (copyright Disco Vietnam). This is a maxi-single stuffed with three kippah-slapping songs featuring Bam Bam Bronson, Gibbs, Domo Genesis, Blu, Despot, Roc Marciano, Hodgy Beats, and Mayhem Lauren. A resume that you can’t acquire on Linkedin. You know what […]

As I Tweeted yesterday, I listened to ESGN at the gym and after 45 minutes was asked to leave for trying to stick up the Gatorade machine. Gibbs dropping arguably the most hardest video since “We Outchea.” That killers on the payroll music. Other ESGN videos below the jump. Deen’s review is here.

Deen is already preparing for his June 27 Celebration. If you’re a longtime Freddie Gibbs’ fan, you definitely detected a slight difference in his demeanor while he was with Young Jeezy’s CTE. One could say that he was a bit “friendlier” and it was reflected in his music – which wasn’t a bad thing, given […]

For someone whose music is theoretically the furthest thing from fun, I have a lot of fun listening to Freddie Gibbs. This makes me want to moonwalk into the nearest liquor store and rob it. The title is obviously the nod to the most famous Gary native of all-time. Gibbs may have already topped Janet […]

Gangsta Gibbs has laid low for most of the year. But as Chance the Rapper said, everyone dies in the summer, so it’s fitting that he’s returned to the warpath. MadGibbs is finished and ESGN is imminent. And on a day when Kendrick and Q drop one of the hardest songs of the year, Senor […]

In what might be the appropriate guest for a podcast named Shots Fired, we had Gangsta Gibbs on this week’s episode. Since Freddie is on the short-list of both best rappers breathing and most knowledgeable sports fans, it seemed only natural that he would help us break down the history of athletes trying to rap. […]
