This dude has been real good for a while. The reason he isn't mainstream is because he refuses to slim down/censor his raps to be on radio and sign deals that have to do with that kind of shit. He wants to rap how he wants with no restrictions. It makes him an underground rap god but in this day and age it's all about that radio bullshit only. Very unfortunate for people that haven't heard him.
6 years later and he’s better than anyone that’s still relevant Alfredo got me absolutely hooked on this dude and when I discovered his collab with Madlib I couldn’t stop listening, his beat selection and flow is just insane
There's others out there but finding them is a needle in a haystack. Big K.R.I.T., Flatbush Zombies, Underachievers, Bun B, Pimp C, Odissee are some of good ones.
@@nickbelanger5225 pretty sure pimp c was dead when you wrote that haha but the direction flatbush and the underachievers have gone and even Big KRIT to an extent has to make you think higher of freddie and how he hasn't waivered from his own style yet still makes dope music
+antonhbp Let's say this. If there was a competition of the best rappers in the game right now, Freddie Gibbs would be in that mug scoring higher than 90% of the "best rappers" easily.
Ice - Slang for Diamonds or other types of jewelery. He's saying that his watch has diamonds in it - expensive. The ALS Ice Bucket challenge is a popular thing - you dump a bucket filled with ice and water on yourself.
Lmao I don't understand why everyone looks at tupac as the best rapper to ever exist... he was good obviously but damn... theres a lot of music out there
Freddie is something else dude. He could spit on ANYTHING. Just like Krit and Tech N9ne, you could put them on any beat, from Boom bap to the craziest trap beat and they'll kill it.
Best rapper there is today no questions asked. Lyrical ability, amazing flows, amazing story telling. The ability to FUCK UP any track he hops on. Fuckin with him since 09 the greatest.
Dude same my friend had thuggin playing when I went in his car and the rest is history ive seen him live two times going on my 3 in December in Portland
