If you’re even slightly familiar with Gary, Indiana, then you know it’s basically the portion of Chicago the cops aren’t liable for. And since art imitates life, Freddie Gibbs being a product of a legitimate “Murdaville,” composes his music in the form of reality raps — without it sounding like it was derived from a Hughes Brothers flick.
Still need a little more Hood-Hop (definitely no J-Kwon) to peak your interest? Peep FG go all in on the infinite perils this life has to offer as he prepares to release The Miseducation Of Freddie Gibbs.

Is that you Canseco? :P
This is some real shit!
Freddie is a real ass dude.. I’ve been bumping his music for like 2 years now.
Hailing from the same place that birthed Michael Jackson. Interesting.
TC you know if he dropped a new mixtape?? The only one I got from him is Live From Gary Indiana.
Real nice track… he murks it.
Paw, that ain’t me but he look juss like my cousins from out there… Gary Indiana might be the most depressing city in the whole country… Gary makes Detroit look like Sherman Oaks or something.
Gary is a living, breathing first person shooter game.
I don’t give a fuck what jacked up ghetto hood you’re in up in Chicago, tell any of them cats you got fam in Gary and that’s where you live/grew up and they’ll be like “damn man you got it rough, you need a place to stay for awhile?” Shit is ugly over there.
@ DnG
That’s all he got as of now. He was on Interscope and never released his album so The Miseducation… is the next thang poppin’
Freddie Gibbs Is The Illest New Rapper In The Game. For yall in LA, peep Gibbs perform at Operation Hideo This Thursday, 4/9/09, at The Mayan in Downtown. 1038 South Hill St, LA, CA 90015

He working with them people.
I was all ready to hate on this jawn because so so many so called hot niggas give Pac’s shit the rapeover but this is ill. I fuck wit it
Is Gary that bad? I heard Co-op City is pretty harsh living too.
I saw this Louis Theroux documentary once about Philly, man some of the neighbourhoods there are freaking scary.
This one place they showed all the houses boarded up and totally run down. All this wierd occult and satanic graffiti and scribblings littered the walls and stuff. Sent a chill down my spine. The police officer goes to Louie, there are probably some real unsavoury folks lurking up there in those boarded up buildings. Man that was a reality check and then some, I really counted my blessings when I saw that.
GANGSTA GIBBS IS THE F-ING MAN…..BEEN LISTENING TO HIM FOR A MINUTE AND EVERY THING HE SPITS IS FIRE….PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW
BTW, Masta Ace INC also flipped this Isley’s sample on The INC Ride.
Gibbs one of the realest in the game! Gangsta Rap is still alive with this one, anyone know where more of his music can be found???
Gary is no joke… folks in Gary all got the same look on they face: “Whatever happen to you while you here is what you get for showin’ up.”
The only people left in Gary is the ones that can’t afford to live somewhere else.
Gary may not be the most dangerous place in the US, but i’d put it up against whoever wants the crown.
I’m sold. Great track.
Link to more material? Anyone?
@TC that’s what I figured I was just checking thanks for the response. I thought he was only herd of through our region being that I’m from South Bend and all.
Gibbs is the fucking troof. Feel bad for anybody that’s never heard his music…
Oh, and here’s an imeem link for more music from him:
http://www.imeem.com/people/23JlOS/playlist/Vuv5qUlQ/gangsta-gibbs-music-playlist/
There’s 24 records there and he’s also got some shit on datpiff
To Black Conseco. you are absolutely wrong when you say ” The only People left in Gary are the ones who can not afford to live somewhere else”. There are plenty of people with money in Gary. Have you ever been here? If you had you would know that Gary is inhabited by people who A. can not afford to leave or B. People who know that Gary is a up and coming area. Wait and see they are going to gentrify the hell out of Gary and it is going to be a resort community for people who want weekend homes from Chicago.
That’s the most lyrical gangsta rap I’ve heard in a long time.
Gibbs is the best rapper from the midwest in forever. don’t sleep!!

Ms Shepard,
Half my mom’s fam is from Gary. Gary’s 90 minutes from where i grew up in Chi. And lemme repeat:
Gary is effed up!
Now when i say Gary is messed up, i don’t mean the people of gary are messed up or that they enjoy being broke and dodging bullets, but facts is facts.
I visit my fam in Gary and my church prays for me when i go.
Don’t tell me Gary’s great when i know folks there with more bullet holes than job opportunities.
Now will Gary come back? Yeah… it’s ripe for gentrification as is any town near bigger cities.
time will tell…
Wow….one of the only new rappers i’ve ever had that 2Pac might have actually cosigned. good shit. can;t wait to hear more.
im from hobart, right outside of gary, and trust me gary is the real deal you dont wana fuck wit it around there but all my friends from gary say like if u go there and just keep to yourself then you should be ok all the dumbasses who go out there and run they mouths are the ones that get shot
Freddie Gibbs – When I listen to it I’m back home. Thats all I have to say. I wish you well Freddie – God bless you and everyone still grindin’ in G.I.
