Freddie Gibbs isn’t shy about voicing his opinions and certainly made no qualms when it came to roasting a Hip Hop legend. Over the weekend, Gangsta Gibbs took notice of LL COOL J’s appearance during the Roy Jones and Mike Tyson fight and threw some jabs of his own via Instagram.
At the same time, he reminded Mr. Ladies Love Cool James about his controversial collaboration with country singer Brad Paisley, “Accidental Racist,” which arrived on Paisley’s 2013 album Wheelhouse. The song is based on Paisley’s experience wearing a Lynard Skynard t-shirt featuring a Confederate flag and LL rapping lines such as, “RIP Robert E. Lee/But I’ve gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me.”
“Ay fam this nigga got on makeup,” Gibbs says with a laugh. “Cut it out man. Just talk about rap shit, don’t talk about Black shit after you did ‘Accidental Racist.’ You got on makeup, nigga.”
“Accidental Racist” received a healthy amount of backlash following its release with some calling it the “worst song ever made.” In a 2013 interview with NPR, LL addressed the controversy and essentially laughed it off.
“Music is like a Rorschach test: People hear what they want to hear,” he noted with a chuckle at the time. “With that being said, when it comes to that particular song, the only thing that really surprised me is that, me being in the public eye for so long, and people knowing my history and my background, for people to suggest that I was trivializing slavery. That was pretty shocking.”

The song reared its ugly head again in August 2019 during an interview with Rolling Stone. Again, the rapper-turned-actor refused to apologize for the song and, in fact, was defiant about it.
“I learned that not everybody’s going to get what you’re saying,” he said. “You know, fuck it. I’m not apologizing for it. I believe in what I said. If somebody is crazy enough to think I was suggesting we do some tap-dance, Amos ‘n’ Andy shit, then that’s on them.”
Revisit the song below.
Gibbs is the most overrated and can’t get any traction without using someone else’s name. This is just another example of the clout chaser trying to be loved by the SJW’s of 2020. He has no fans, and if he does they aren’t loyal because his shit never sells or streams well. He will grow up to be Lord Jamar.
You said it perfectly. Nothing to add.
..except that Gibbs is already grown, technically, just sayin.
He doing a lot of talking for a flop artist….
Positive vibes brothers.. positive vibes…
This chronic underachieving idiot better shut his mouth. He’s only exposing his self everytime he talks.
He’s grammy nominated and ya’ll are not tho lmao
Alfredo is literally nominated for best rap album at the Grammys this this ??♂️
Ease back, Gary fam. LL is legend status, all sorts of achievements. You, not so much. Go fix up Lew Wallace school, if you have the chips you claim.
Lmao Gibbs doesn’t have achievements what world are you living in bud
He was talking about LL, learn how to read fam.
Gibbs don’t go to Benzino route, LL is a legend 1 misap, you think 50 don’t wear make up for films
That wasn’t no film
Wtf is wrong with the rap community, first Young Thug now this guy.
Everybody knows Cool J track record with diss records and hurting peoples music career! Lil buddy better tread carefully….IJS
He 52 years old now don’t be talking stupid…..even if he did throw out diss records they wouldn’t be met with the same reception as 20 years ago, he wouldn’t be taken seriously.
So what…He’s got miles to go to be in the same convo as LL. Gibbs slowly turning his brand into a joke. Making himself look bad
Bro no disrespect to what LL did, he was a part of era that laid the foundation for hip hop. But this is 2020. Freddie Gibbs Is a far more capable rapper than LL , And has the discography to prove it. Piñata, Bandana, Alfredo. You sound like you might be older , I’m 25 but Gibbs is as good as/if not better than Kendrick. LL was nice but he passed off the torch long ago. If he was still dropping good music through the 2000s like some of his peers ( Beastie boys, de la soul, slick Rick, ATCQ) maybe HE would be in Same league as them and the Freddie Gibbs types)
This song sucks tho
Who TF is Freddie Gibbs? And why is he talking?
