New music from Freddie Gibbs in the form of “The Wrong One,” produced by Buckwild and a beat also used for Beanie’s “The Ghetto.” But you already know Gibbs’ version is solely his, as he recounts an autobiographical tale. Based on reality, the events depicted in the...

CunninLynguists Feat. Freddie Gibbs - “Imperial”

If by chance you ever stumbled into the Church of Thugs, there’s a good chance this is what you’d hear the choir singing right before or after “God In The Building.” Natti and Gibbs provide the testimonials over a head-nod inducing mix of organs and guitar riffs by Kno.  And...

Video: Freddie Gibbs’ “Boxframe Cadillac”

For those out of the loop, Freddie Gibbs has a new mixtape on its way in November entitled The Labels Tryin To Kill Me! that’s most likely going to overshadow the majority of retail releases this year. I say this with the utmost confidence, based on the quality of his two previous outings this...

“Just Like Pimp C I Keep My Money On My Mind…”

There are times when finding another way to express how captivating an artist is, say it well enough to encourage you to give it a listen. Then there are other times when I read someone else’s description makes me envious, feeling like “why didn’t I think of approaching it like that?”

Is Hip-Hop Finally Dead?

^ It is to this guy. In the latest issue of The New Yorker Sasha Frere-Jones has declared 2009 as the year Hip-Hop died. His main reasons? The Blueprint 3, Raekwon & Freddie Gibbs of course. If I had to pick a year for hip-hop’s demise, though, I would choose 2009, not 2006. Jay-Z’s new album,...

“World So Cold…”

If there were two posts per day on Freddie Gibbs for the next two months, I still wouldn’t think we were covering his music enough. Pardon my overtly Stan-like stance on the Gary-born lyricist. But in a game full of hyperbolic gangsters and effeminate hipsters, the presence of honesty that is found...

Freddie Gibbs - “I’m That Ni##a”

If you know Freddie G’s story & history, you’re familiar that he’s not one for the industry politrix. Give him a blunt and beat and watch him work. And that’s exactly what he’s accomplishing on this freshly liberated joint from his next project The Labels Tryin To Kill...

Video: Freddie Gibbs “Murda On My Mind”

It’s only fitting that Yours Truly helped create this video as their camera work is the perfect accompaniment for this clip of “Murder On My Mind” by Freddie Gibbs. Freddie’s on that short list of MCs that I can listen to and feel like he’s speaking directly to me without any pretense...

An Open Letter To Freddie Gibbs & Pill

Dear Freddie G. & Pill, What’s good fellas? Before I get to my main point, let me first say individually, you two, are creating some of the finest music in rotation currently (regardless of region, tenure or genre). All in all, it has been a great year for “new” artists and you...

BTS: Freddie Gibbs x Pill’s “Cradle To The Grave” Video

I get a lot of requests to post behind the scenes footage but normally pass because it’s either a bore or pretty much psuedo-hype for a usual letdown. So for us to post BTS video or pics, you know it’s either A.) an artist we like or B.) good footage. In this case, it’s choice A x...

Freddie Gibbs - “N_gga Machine”

As a PE stan, I approve Freddie’s gafflin’ of the intro beat from “Anti-Nigger Machine” and adding a twist of irony to the concept too since the n-word is heavily incorporated into his rhymes. Saying that he channels the spirit of Mister Chuck with his voice might be an understatement....
