The endless possibilities of joint albums between artists can be a tantalizing proposition for fans. Coming off of winning HipHopDX’s Album of the Year for he and The Alchemist’s Alfredo, Freddie Gibbs is open to the idea of bringing his lyrical magic into 2021 with a joint album opposite Pusha T.
Gangsta Gibbs took to Twitter on Friday (January 22) to stop any competitive comparisons between himself and King Push, but teased one day doing a potential album with the street rap veteran.
“Fuck a versus,” he wrote. “I would make this album tho.”
The idea came about thanks to the NFR Podcast, which posed the question of who was the true king of coke rap between push and Gibbs. Fans won’t see the Gary, Indiana native step into the Verzuz ring, but they’d gladly trade that in for him joining forces with Pusha in 2021.
Gibbs previously invited Pusha to lyrically spar and put their coke rap prowess on display when connecting on smooth Bandana cut “Palmolive” alongside Killer Mike. The Madlib-helmed Bandana earned a perfect rating and was HipHopDX’s Album of the Year as well. During a 2019 interview promoting the album with the L.A. Leakers, Gibbs also named Pusha as one of the best rappers alive and called him an inspiration.
Freddie Gibbs & Metro Boomin Could Be Hitting The Studio Very Soon
“Pusha, he’s definitely an inspiration to me,” Gibbs admitted. “I saw what he did last year with his album and the run that he went on. I think Complex named him the best rapper alive and all of that. And, I was like, damn man that was really inspirational. So, definitely gave me some gas to push forward to this.”
Check out some of the fan reactions to Gibbs and Pusha possibly teaming up below.
That would be on repeat for me. Problem is with how Push is with his music it might not come out for a couple years (I think he is currently working on a solo project if I remember right). He has the work ethic of Dr Dre in the sense that they are both perfectionists. The difference is this project would actually come out. Eventually.
Push gave us 3 albums in 6 yrs MNIMN, DBD & Daytona
Spell the man’s name right why you do him dirty like that LOL
Yo, HIPHOP NEEDS THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!
Make history!
Gibbs and Pusha been in the coke game as long as Ross. Nonetheless, they are both great artists, would be definitely an album highly anticipated.
Tbh i aint tryina hear pusha t rap about drugs he never sold.
But you want to hear Drake spit bars he didn’t write about relationships he never had with a kid he doesn’t claim. Makes sense.
Best comment I have ever read on this site.
Stupid title to an article. Go blow a line and stop your poor journalism
“Audio Crack”?? You fools understand that crack is worse than cocaine quality wise, right?? Is this suppose to be a diss or compliment.
I respect Pusha T but I don’t get it. Nothing he did every fascinated me like that. But so many other people call him great, I’ll believe them. But i never saw it. Gibbs on the other hand….he go crazy every time to me.
Have you ever heard a wack Pusha T verse? ?
No. But that’s not saying much. Real rappers don’t have wack verses. That’s like an NBA player not being able to make a layup. Every verse is at least going to be average and a certain quality. I just never heard no verses that amazed me and made me feel like he was one of the best rappers in the game.
Keep Rick Ross annoying ass off it plz
Facts
Nobody wanna hear that trash
Pusha T and Freddie Gibbs ft Benny Tha butcher would be just as dope. No pun intended
Both dope artists…. but what HIP HOP (not rap) needs right now is a J. COLE x RAPSODY collab album..!! If you like thought provoking, culture pushing lyricism, then you understand my choice… I need this.. we need this..
