Freddie Gibbs Gets Emotional On Being In Jail Overseas & A$AP Rocky + Madlib's FIRST Radio Interview 

"this album was my baby becuz it got me back to my babies" - Freddie Gibbs Man that hit me to my core...

If you listened to "Str8 Killa No Filla" way back you're as proud as I am of Gibbs to see him at this point in his career. 100% perseverance. I almost cried for homie too, what a journey.

Gibbs been crying more in his interviews. Peace to the God Freddie.

every answer madlib gives feel like a blessing

Hot 97 got a W with this one.

Gibbs prolly the only dude besides Dilla that could get Madlib out in the public lol. Bandana is aoty for me Gibbs finally getting recognition 🔥

GIBBS A REPRESENTATION OF STAYING SOLID & IT PAYING OFF. IF YOU READING THIS KEEP GRINDING!!

Gibbs is shedding all the layers of what Black men in America go through for generations. The magic in his music is his humbleness as a man and as an artist. Support this man's movement!! Kanye's 7 song theory was ingenious but he missed the mark by not including artists like Freddie Gibbs to that concept but Madlib is a LEGEND in his own right. Peace be upon both of these men...

Seeing Rosenberg nerd out when madlib sat down was adorable

We’re witnessing history.

Bandana is a masterpiece.

Madlib speaks. What a blessing.

Who would've thought that out of all the great collabs Madlib has done (Kweli, DOOM, Dilla) Gibbs would seem to have the most one-to-one kinship with him?! Pretty incredible to see Madlib as an emotional support for Gibbs. Wow

Ebro wasn’t there. Great interview.

Protect Fred at all cost......now go peep Bandana (album of the year 🙃)

Madlib produced all the beats off a bloody iPad ! I need to better with my life 😤 great piece of work . Dopeness and inspiration all the way

I’m still bumping “You Only Live Twice” and the “Freddie” album

2nd interview in a week we seen Gibbs get emotional. Love this dude, man and I'm happy he's getting his. Been a fan for a very long time, like 08-09, and to see him grind this long and get to where he is without sellin out is incredible.

Damn they talked about how Madlib and Freddie are polar opposites but blend so well and get along so well and right when Freddie goes deep about how much this music means to him and it gets him to tears, Madlib just pops in at the perfect moment. Damn

been a gibbs fan since 09' watching him do big things makes me happy like i know him personally

Legendary content. Best Interview of the year honestly. That touched my whole soul, classic stuff man.

Ya’ll gotta do more interviews without Ebro, this was great

Mannnn! Im at a loss for words.. I wish this interview never ended. Gibbs and Madlib doin it! Props to Rosenberg for holding it down

Best rapper rn. Best album out rn. And that’s just that. Btw, Freddie and Royce should hop on that 18 Wheeler Remix

Hot 97 does not need Ebro....Rosenberg feels so much more genuine

Lord Quas sightings. Very rare..

This is tripping me out. That's thee actual Madlib. Never interviewed ever Madlib is actually like talking to a REAL POKEMON. To ask questions for the first time HOT 97 got a win. Peter looked like a child that found out his dad is black and only celebrates Kwanzaa. This has to be about the best interview in some time. Freddie Gibbs makes people look very dumb for touching the same microphone, had a come down moment from a good time and thought about his life from where he was to where he is now. Always been skilled. Also an independent artist. It's good to see Freddie Gibbs actually take a moment and look at the changes and it be him that they catch in that moment. Much Respect.

That Rocky case not comparable to Freddie case. He was never gone come back

I usually don't pull for celebrities so much based on their character because you just don't know them... but damn... Gangsta Gibbs as real as they come salute fam

When Madlib came in I spazzed bruhhh. If you don't know how this guy manoeuvres in the game you just won't know how big it was to see him break cover. Love to Otis & love to Freddie.

Who else died laughing when madlib said Doom hits him once a year 😂😂

Ebros energy is so awful. So nice to not have him here

Freddie would've sounded amazing on No More Parties in LA

YOOOOOOOOOO Gibbs.....South Bend Indiana checking in...I can only be MORE proud if I was in Gary. A TRUE inspiration to the Indiana Hoods. Gangsta Gibbs....Bandana Album Of The Year and it's not even CLOSE!!

#KANESZN 🦓🦓🦓🦓. Glad this man is getting the shine that he deserves. Give him his Grammy nomination.

This one of the best interviews I've ever heard.

INDIANA BABY!!! One of the few things we can be proud of haha!

idk if im tripping but this is one emotionally charged interview. specially when gibbs hugged madlib - to see them understand and connect with each other just makes bandanna's mutualism more evident. two legends of there own creating music for future and past generations. legendary.

As someone who runs a music producer podcast, this is goals. I've been close to booking Pete Rock, and I've given up on Madlib. The best producers don't do press lol

Finally Rosenberg strikes gold......incredible interview......deserves a million more likes....but the young ones will never know the true greatness that walked up in the studio unannounced. Bandana and Pinata is a throwback to what hip hop is.....you got the DJ and you got the MC.....simple as that.

this is a piece of history. shoutout to Gibbs for getting madlib out of the bomb shelter for this interview

Fam, this interview is legendary. Madlib the illest on the Beats and Gibbs is a lyrical Monster. They got the second Masterpiece and Bandana is Album of the Year.

My favorite rapper of this generation and I have NEVER seen him get emotional. This is dope and he deserves all the success because I've seen his grind, his plights, his rise, the progression in his music from 2009 to now etc etc. I love you brother and may your music continue to thrive 💪🏾

It’s Freddie Gibbs time he put the work in. He been thought it all being blackballed,jail but talent and prayer always prevail!!! 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

Glad Gibbs is brining the underground to a mainstream platform!

Thank you for sharing this with us Hip-Hop nerds Peter/Hot 97.

Having no phone must be a great productivity boost. That and being Madlib

Why am I thinking that this magic would not have happened with Ebro sitting in the interview? Rosenberg by himself made the interview more authentic and asked most of the right questions and got some very organic answers back.

Gangsta Gibbs. One of my heroes. Im a metalhead, but i started listening to Gibbs when i was around 16/17 years old. I heard his 93 till infinity freestyle after a friend of mine told me about him. I was amazed. After that BFK was my favorite album for many years. Gibbs is an incredible musician, and keeps on delivering awesome music. I drove to Denmark with my older brother to see Gibbs perform live about 5/6 years ago and it was a fucking awesome show. The border patrol smelled the weed on my car on the way home, but i got away clean.

people still don't understand how legendary this interview is, this is criminally underrated

Watching Freddie’s career play out has been an amazing journey. Madlib is indeed a treasure of my generation. Seeing this unit together is truly a hip hop dream come true. Especially with their creative results thus far. Glad this generation gets to show well deserved appreciation to Madlib. As well as Freddie getting the accolades that have eluded him. I can’t wait for what’s next. ✌🏾👍🏾

Madlib. The Kawhi Leonard of Hip Hop.

Album of the year! Massage seats is my ish!

these two were needed in hip hop so bad

Madlib's an entity bro. He doesn't seem real haha.

Freddie been holding it down for years, he deserve all these blessings coming his way 💯

Lambo bringing Freddie to meet Madlib sounds like a scene in a mafia movie where a made man vouches for his friend to this boss lol

"E-mail or E-gon" hahahahaha

I followed Madlib religiously over the years. I dived deep into his multi genre production too. He is one of the biggest inspirations for me and my own musical journey. To see this man in this interview with Freddie Gibbs and actually speaking openly is crazy. From seeing him on his Brazilian trip and Yesterdays New Quintet, Stones Throw documentaries etc. This was a surprising and excellent interview. He's come a long way and he is in his own universe from another plane. Otis is a true legend and master of our time. The legit Sun Ra of our time.

These two are very refreshing together. And I love Gibbs competitiveness when tryin' to outmatch Dooms collaboration with Lib.

Interviews like this are what made Hot 97 so great, this a huge throwback

Man this why Freddie Gibbs is my favorite rapper. But, this interview made him one of my favorite people. 🐐

Don’t usually comment on RU-vid videos but Madlib coming in is one the greatest hip hop moments in a long time as a result of one the greatest hip hop albums in a long time. Long live Gibbs and Madlib and salute Rosenberg for having the platform for this legendary interview. 👊🏿💪🏿

Best project out this year 🔥🙏🏽

This is one of the best interviews I've ever watched.. J Dilla will forever be missed, Madlib and Gibbs yall niggas are the truth.

I remember seeing Madlib on rap city when talib was guest hosting.

"How does one get in touch with Madlib? Email?" "Email or Egon" 😂😂😂

Gibbs looking like he's in you're top 5 in this interview, got that 90's vibe

Freddie deserve every blessing coming his way

I started to get Goosebumps when he started talking about Jay Dee and the JayLib album👏🏽

21:58 "theres gonna be volumes of this" made me so happy cant explain

Legendary interview.... Bandana AOTY

Shout out to Gibbs and Madlib for making true classic...one for the ages, and thank you Freddy for the snapshot into your past. When you listen to the album you can immediately relate to it, but at the same time recognize the pure genius of of the Gibbs/Madlib connection. I love the tiny desk performance for me it just elevates the album of what it can be when performed live....with a band like that.

I love this interview. Freddie is one of my favorite artist. Top 3 for sure, and all his albums you can listen to every song twice.

I want someone to hug me like Gibbs and Madlib hugged each other

"I just do the music"- Madlib

Dude this is a legendary interview, God damn I did not expect Madlib to even pop up! Props to Rosenberg for having a good converational interview with both of them. It's tough to see Freddie cry but it was also moving to see him express the catharsis around the album's release.

I went to Freddie’s first show when he got back to the U.S. I had to go. His energy was wild and ready.

I been telling people about Gibbs for years! I’m glad he’s finally getting that recognition he deserves! Congrats G.

"Cleared all the samples for once" lol gotta love Madlib

When madlib walks in that's some real homie love. Madlib helped Gibbs get his message out there with some fire ass beats. Gotta love them they put love and sweat into this amazing album man.

"This album my baby cos it got me back to my babies." 😭

That embrace between Freddie & Quasi was insane! That’s a real fucking friendship.

Freddie Gibbs flat out saying that he's a better rapper than DOOM is something I can respect. He's earned it at this point.

Prayers to that Black man. Keep solid and maintain man. It’s okay to feel defeated but never EVER stay down

This is why I really rock with King Gibbs Very Authentic and 👑 Madlib is one of the reasons I make beats the way I do. Ca$inoArcade...

Seeing this man cry, and be so humble, I need to get this album ASAP. This album gonna be too GOOD! From a real place.

@HOT 97, Unsubbed a long time ago, but came back here for the extraordinary gentleman you have invited on the show today, great work. @Rosenberg I'd like to see you continue with your specialty of interviewing the pulse of hip-hop music and abandon the internet drama based content. Happy to see a return to roots here on hot 97. On that note, Bandana is a fantastic album worth a listen through, go do it if you haven't yet. All the best, J

This interview was an honor to watch. Got me crying and respecting these brothers. Keep it up.

Love you Freddie Gibbs. Love from Texas.

When Gibbs and Madlib embraced, I shed a real nigga tear. That was not an industry moment. That was truly brotherly.

Amazing to see them embrace, and Gibbs is not afraid to show raw emotion. These are different times. RIP toxic rap masculinity

So happy to see Gibbs getting his shine. Been a fan since 2013 when I downloaded "Labels Tryna Kill Me"; after hearing that had to go back check his entire catalog. His growth as and artist and a man has been inspirational.

So much respect for Freddie Gibbs

Freddie Gibbs is seriously one of my biggest rap heroes today. He is the perfect album rapper, he's humble and real. He's just great. I really want this dude to succeed further in his career. And Madlib is a true friend, as well as being one of the best producers ever. What a team!

I cannot stop listening to Bandana. But Roseburg didn’t ask why the title track wasn’t included.

Finally a real interview. The culture needed this album.

Cant imagine Rosenberg not getting emotional after getting madlib on the radio

Freddie will forever be my dude, love the music keep grinding, we still checking for you

I almost thought I heard Quasi at times lol hearing madlib speak is always dope.
