Freddie Gibbs Discusses Scarface’s “Pinata” Appearance

    Freddie Gibbs says recording with Scarface on “Broken,” a selection from his Pinata album with Madlib, was remarkable.

    “It was a dream come true,” Freddie Gibbs says during an interview with Radio.com. “I’m still kinda in awe of that. I still can’t believe I got him on the record. I guess Kobe [Bryant] felt like this he stepped on the court with Michael Jordan, or played in an All-Star game with Michael Jordan. That’s how I felt. It’s very surreal.”

    Even though the Pinata song “Scarface” does not feature the Houston rapper, Freddie Gibbs says that the Geto Boys member inspired his performance on the song.

    “I was like, ‘Damn. How am I going to attack this?” Freddie Gibbs says. “That’s why I called it ‘Scarface,’ because I gotta rap like Scarface on this.”

    During the interview, Madlib says Freddie Gibbs was rapping to the snare on the song.

    “I think that’s what I do better than a lot of people, riding the beat when it come to like flowin’, storytelling and just staying within that pocket,” Freddie Gibbs says.

    The Gary, Indiana rapper says that he was in a ferocious pocket when he recorded “Uno,” his favorite Pinata selection.

    “I was just going in on it,” Freddie Gibbs says. “I went in on the whole record, but I think I was pissed off that day when I made that. I was pissed off when I made ‘Uno’ and when I made ‘Real.’ Those two records right there, I really remember those.”

      1. Jeezy is a fake nikka, got shitted on by UGK and ain’t said shit, then had one of his nikkas get murked by Gucci and ain’t done shit about it

      2. Word, Gibbs G checking the fuck outta jeezy, and Jeezy ain’t gonna do shit cause Jeezy ain’t really bout that life

      3. jeezy so bitch made he squashed his beef with a known fake ass cb4 nigga even though he was selling more records than him.

      4. I think Gibbs makes a very good living off of rapping. Don’t you wish you could make a living off that? he might not have Jeezy type money but I think he’s straight and living the dream life

      5. Jeezy is a scared bitch that can’t go nowhere alone. Gibbs is snowman killa!!! Big Meech even dissed his ass from prison.

    1. you don’t know what a pinata is? wow…
      that track is dope…This album is really good…I haven’t heard music like this in a long time….

    2. This album had the potential to be the best out this decade. I’ll wait for the next Gibbs album, hopefully it has more darker feeling than Pinata does.

      1. darker feeling? you mean like a grimey crimey type?
        Gibbs would be tight with a Hell On Earth- Mobb Deep type lyrics
