While speaking with Montreality recently, Gary, Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs‘ new album was revealed. According to Gangsta Gibbs, the album will be titled Lifestyles Of The Insane and will likely be released sometime next year.
Freddie Gibbs’ new album is currently 60 percent complete.
“I got a new album. It’s called Lifestyles Of The Insane. I’m coming with that probably next year or something like that. I’m working on it. I’m like about 60 percent done with it,” Freddie Gibbs said.
Gibbs then went on to rattle down the list of his favorite revolutionaries, during his interview. Among those he named were Huey Newton, Che Guevara, and Assata Shakur.
“I got Huey Newton tattooed on my back,” he said. “Like I said, I just read Assata Shakur’s book, so she probably one of my favorites right now. She probably my favorite right now. Her, George L, Jackson. A lot of people, man. Eldridge Cleaver. Bobby Seale. Che Guevara. A lot of people. I definitely read a lot of literature on a lot of those people, so definitely well-versed on what they do. And the things, the principles that they had. And I’m into it.”
Lastly, Gibbs offered his advice to the youth as he encouraged them to stay in school and always be aware. The Indiana rapper also added that black men in particular need to “stop going to jail” and focus on raising their families “the correct way.”
“Niggas just need to really just stay in school and shit, man. For real,” Gibbs said. “Really set they self on a path [for that] education. And just educating themselves at all times and being more aware. And stop going to jail. It’s too many mothafuckas going to jail, man. Especially black men. We gotta figure out how to maneuver through the law and all that shit, man. Raise our families the correct way and things of that nature cause it’s a lot of shit that’s fucked up for black youth. And that’s because we not that many generations removed from slavery…We just gotta rise up on some real shit and just stay informed and be aware.”

dope, freddie gibbs always comes with good music
thought he was gonna release eastside moonwalker tho? wasn’t he like 80% done with that?
wasn’t called that but sumthing like that
album was originally titled Eastside Slim
ESGN 2, please.
#ESGN
Sounds like the name of a classic album tbh (and yes I’m aware it sounds similar to Big L’s album)
ESGN 2 would be cool but ESGN was also one of the weaker Gibbs projects IMO (aside from Color Purple, Lay It Down, Came Up, and One Eighty Seven). I’m still hoping for that Gibbs x Alchemist tape though.
Gibbs x Alchemist would be crazy
ESGN is still his best work as a whole. Trap beats aren’t my favorite, but it has much more catchier tune to it compared to Pinata. Gibbs + Alchemist? No thanks, he needs to use GOOD BEATS, Alchemist is about as bad as Statik Selektah is. Good samples do need banging drums to go with it, Alc and Statik both are unable to make it happen. Lay It Down > Anything on Cocaine Pinata.
We all have different on what his best work is, and what makes that great is that it shows that Gibbs’ various styles appeal to tons of people. Some like his jazzier soulful shit more than his trap shit and vice versa.
I however completely disagree with you on Alc. He is far more superior to that flab trash producer Statik Selektah.
different opinions*
wasnt ESGN a compilation for his label/group? and lay it down is one of gibbs best trap style songs but greater than all of pinata? you sound musically illiterate
only came to say we all have different taste in music theres no point in arguing about it
real talk, after the gangster shit, he does have a conscience about the issues in the world, all gravy baby
wow he so real
wow hes a human so of course hes real amazing so many humans wow
Yo fuck 2DopeBoyz and fuck Nah Right
And any other fuck-nigga-ass blog that can’t put an 18 year old nigga
Making his own fucking beats, covers, videos and all that shit

Fuck-nigga-ass Hypebeast niggas, now back to the album
