Freddie Gibbs didn’t wait long to jump on Drake’s “Champagne Poetry” intro from Certified Lover Boy.
Less than a day after Lupe Fiasco let a few thoughts go for a freestyle of his own, the Gary, Indiana native rolled through three verses of his own, taking aim at Kendrick Lamar’s hotly debated “smoking on your Top 5” line from Baby Keem’s “Family Ties,” scoffing at being not nominated for the BET Awards and more.
“They say they smokin’ top 5s but you ain’t burned up the one,” Gibbs raps. “Fuck niggas talkin’ ’bout? Like every time I hit the booth I don’t leave that bitch with a body count?”
Later on in the freestyle’s second verse, he takes aim at BET while bringing up old issues with Jeezy and Rick Ross rapping, “BET treat a nigga like I ain’t dark-skinned, but I ain’t fuck with y’all since 106 & Park ended. Cypher just a waste of my time cause I walk the park with it. Sno said, ‘Let’s hit the awards, but we ain’t dressin’ up.’ Showed up in a tank top and chucks, he in a fuckin’ tux. Textin’ Ross to get some advice, he keep me buttoned up, I disrespected bro several years ago, I was fuckin’ up.”
Gibbs not only utilizes “Vice Lord Poetry” to assert himself as one of the best rappers around, he firmly declares he had the Best Rap Album of the 2021 Grammys and Nas said as much. However, Gibbs’ Alfredo did win Album of the Year at the 2020 HipHopDX Awards.
Freddie Gibbs, Lil Durk, Timbaland + More React To Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy'
The Grammy-nominated Gibbs reacted as many did to Drake’s September 3 release, tweeting, “Drake shit go hard. Duh.” With his latest freestyle, it may be another day in the office for Gangsta Gibbs but another moment of lyrical SSS exercise with one-liners for Tyler, the Creator studio sessions as well as selling dope when Kanye West worked at River Oaks. Hear his “Vice Lord Poetry” below.
Freddie can’t get anywhere near Kenny
Piñata and Bandana > Kendrick entire catalog and you know this
I would say Pinata and Alfredo.
?
Better albums overall. Not better on the mic. Not more influential. Not hotter individual songs. Not ducking with him in a battle or a freestyle. Gibbs is dope, I’d attribute 50-60% of his dope ness to Lib and Al. His shit with Otger producers is Meh. If Kendrick had gone the same route with production, or had an entire GOOD Dre album it would be a wrap. Kendrick is on weirdo art shit. He is by far the superior lyricist. Few can fuck with his pen and diverse styles and concepts. Gibbs is “dope, hookers, kill you, cars, Vice Lords.” Rinse. Repeat. I like that shit, but your comparing malt liquor to vintage wine. Gibbs ain’t winning no Pulitzer. Plus he claims all this gang shit and runs from dudes in NY that records a song with officer Ricky. I think Gibbs, Boldy and Griselda in general are the only ones putting out dope new shit. K still smashes all of them. Just a higher level of art and consciousness.
Sorry Freddie but Officer Ricky is a 100% fraud and you are a clown for associating with him after dissing him multiple times for being a lying fraud. Gangstas should not respect cops.
Drake and Kayne even kdot make us wait all this time for some ok some aight . Gibbs been dropping heat for a good min for ppl saying he aint top 5 gtfoh fuck yall listen to go get fetti bandanna alfredo etc.
Fetti is mad underrated, those 3 need to make more albums. Obviously piñata/bandana are classics, Alfredo is dope as well.
People cant just come out and say kdot is better he good but im the type to say what have u done for me lately. If u the so called goat drop something already if u smoking on my top 5 u gotta atleast dropped something recently come on
Who did it better….Freddie or lupe
Warner signed Biggs. Warner owns this site. Free promotion for the homie.
Most annoying ridiculous beat ever. I’m a fan of Freddie’s, but homie is tripping HARD if he thinks he’s fucking with K or even in the same league. SMH. Different lanes. Freddie would get run over.
Freddie Gibbs – hardest working man in show business since James Brown and Tupac
