Freddie Gibbs To Sign With Young Jeezy

    Not to be outdone by Rick Ross, Young Jeezy is reportedly about to land a notable name on his record label.

    XXLmag.com reports that Jeezy is about to sign Freddie Gibbs to his CTE Record label.

    When HipHopDX.com spoke with Gibbs recently, he indicated that he had met with Jeezy, but no official business went down. “[Young Jeezy and I] ain’t even get in the lab, man,” said the young rapper to DX last month. “I saw him, just passing through the A, doing my thing. I was out there on some other stuff. And, we just chopped it up, just kicked it. Went to a strip club, that’s all. We ain’t really do nothing. We ain’t go to the lab though, I just bumped into him when I was out there. And we just chopped it up in Magic City. We was makin’ it rain, slappin’ ass and shit like that.”

    Currently, Gibbs is on tour with Big K.R.I.T. and DXnext alum Smoke DZA.

    1. This would definitely be a bad move on Gibbs part. How many artists does Jeezy have on his label that has an album out???? Dont worry I’ll wait……………

    2. Eh… On one hand I see what it is and why.

      On the other… I see this is a bad move. A very bad one. Friends and business don’t mix.

      If Jeezy can do right by the man as far as keeping his content the same and making it easier for Gibbs to become more nationally accessible, then kudos.

      Is this an April Fool’s joke? That much needs to be asked…

    3. Horrible move. Slick Pulla been on CTE forever and haven’t dropped a solo album yet. An industry rule is as a rapper never sign under another rapper. You’ll never be bigger than him.

    4. This would be a power move by both Gibbs and Jeezy. The music they’d make together would be amazing. Freddie doesnt have to prove his cred or ability, the only thing hes missing is that mainstream attention (jeezyz connections can bring him that).

      As far as signing under another rapper…

      Eminem signed under Dre
      50 Cent signed under Eminem
      Snoop Dogg signed under Dre
      Drake signed under Lil’ Wayne
      Kanye signed under Jay-Z

      The list goes on….

      Also… Freddie Gibbs is a trillion times more talented than Slick Pulla and has already built his own following… This could push him over the top.

      I like it.

      1. Dr. Dre is a producer, not a rapper. Also Dame Dash believed in Kanye’s talent as a rapper. Jay-Z didn’t wanna take a chance on Kanye at all. Jigga just wanted to keep using Kanye for beats. You just listed the very successful artists basically. It’s plenty more who done the same thing and ended up being a tax write off.

      2. Dre is a rapper producer. He’s released multiple rap albums. How is not a rapper when he’s released hundreds of songs which feature him rapping? I dont care if he didnt write them.

        Jay-Z didn’t want to but he did and it worked out.

        Just looks like a good move by Gibbs to me. Thats all.

      3. HOW???????WHEN THE MAIN RAPPER ON DA LABEL ISNT HOT….ALL THE OTHER NAMES U LISTED WERE HOT AT THE TIME OF THE SIGNING

      4. Aftermath was NOT hot when Eminem signed. Dre was majorly struggling to figure out what to do. Eminem changed all that.

        Also: Jeezy is still hot seeing as how much we all care about this. Just cuz he ain’t on the blogs dont mean he ain’t hot in the streets. That dudes one of the most famous rappers still.

    5. fucken ridiculous. two best artists off the xxl 10 freshman class are never gonna release an actual album, cause freddie gibbs and jcole decided to sign with labels based on rappers. this could be bad, and this could be good.

    6. How stupid can a nigga be?! i hope this is a joke,
      Gibbs like the second coming of pac. the nigga signs with jeezy, then i expect some top class National Anthem shit not some icy chain shit.

      Goddamn

      1. why you think hed change his shit up? jeezy spits that street shit. not all his shit is icy chain music. Pac had hella hits!!!

    7. gibbs already said this is just a rumor. check his twitter and facebook. dont worry, he wont sell out

      1. Whats wrong with selling out? You don’t want gibbs to make $$$? He can become famous without changing his music and subject matter. hes from the hood, he cant rap for free forever…

      2. selling out meaning changing up his subject matter to conform to radio/mainstream. he deserves a big time deal with a big time payout for sure tho

        however, he did say this is just a rumor so i dunno why hiphopdx blew the whistle on it so early

      3. Freddie beeeen on that street shit. It ain’t like all his music is conscious rap. For ever “the ghetto” he makes a “face down.” That last jeezy album was leaning toward deeper than his older shit too.

        That dreamin single with keyshia cole was a deep record too!

      4. @ Revolutionary selling out is not making money it’s changing up your style just to make money, these artists have their fan base that likes them for the type of music they make and once that’s changed they lose their initial fan base and get pop listeners. Being a pop artist is much harder in the long term because their are so many one hit wonders and just disappear after that. When will people learn that being a real MC would set you up for the long term, but a pop artist gets more money faster so they take the easier route. Pop artists also fall the hardest so it comes with it’s drawbacks. The thing so many artists are going the pop route and we’re losing MC’s because of the attention pop artists get but it’s one after another, the record companies make more money this way by just getting another cheap act to come in.

      5. yeah but jeezy never went pop. 3 great albums all on some street shit. 2Pac never went pop. You dont HAVE to go pop to make $$$.

    8. I HOPE HE IS NOT SIGNING TO JEEZY’S LABEL…..HE SHOULD JUST KEEP BUBBLING UNTIL HE CAN GET A MAJOR DEAL….NOT A GOOD MOVE

    9. HOW???????WHEN THE MAIN RAPPER ON DA LABEL ISNT HOT….ALL THE OTHER NAMES U LISTED WERE HOT AT THE TIME OF THE SIGNING.

    10. i dunno about you guys but i read through the lines “we bumped into each other, makin it rain and slappin ass,Magic” i smell a romantic encounter

      For we all got hustle expertise,
      But for yourself Loccish gangsterism you need to be at ease
      I know you’re from tha heart of Georgia,
      But we both know your heart is not one of tha beatz,
      That makez Georgia beat ganstably
      You know shit come back to bit you in tha ass

      912 reputablez who hit up Double “L’s”
      Coochie Lame they don’t have to discourage you,

      It’z street shame instead of fame
      Strapped up shawty,
      We hear now this is your name
      Fucc you wanna “C” and that wanna “B”
      Who’s reality never lived tha livelihood of tha gangbang
      Loccish Tiniez live to bang
      This isn’t no subliminal message
      This is reality poetry at it’z finest
      Never a rapper-for I am no actor
      “Love is tha bond between one and another”,
      “Loyalty is to keep anything from coming in between that bond”
      For that’z why you despise Love,
      And didn’t keep it Loyal with those many men
      Loyalty is dead without tha life of Love,
      To give it tha life line it needz to breathe
      Disloyalty has become tha rule,
      And not tha exception
      Loyalty is to die Fo’
      I salute tha General Pookie Loc
      Coming to tha streetz soon,
      Resurrected from tha pen,
      With tha deathless courage heart of Jesus
      For your disloyalty is a real street sin,
      To tha life of tha game
      Double “L” is tha way of life I continue
      For MR. BIGMANN is tha name
      Loccishmenn don’t live in vain

      “To be loyal is to know how to be real. To be real is to be loyal”.
      MR. BIGMANN/ Reality poetry
