"Freddie Gibbs might not have the mainstream appeal but his discography alone places him in Big 3 conversations" | Rap RoundTable Podcast

[Yaddam Yussein]

Denzel Curry, Kendrick, Freddie & Travis all have an amazing discography.

 

[ReasonableMatic]

And thats why Freddie only has respect for Kendrick, because kdot himself has the goat discography.
But after Kendrick the spot is open if we put rappers in the big 3 based on discogaphy.

Not one lie told, Freddie Gibbs got a Big 3 catalog

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

And I like Gibbs music

 

[Amo Husserl]

No.

 

[Deafheaven]

I love frederick but he dont have the cultural impact to be top 3 but purely from a music standpoint an argument could be made for it

 

[LevelUp]

He has bars but big 3?

I been a Gibbs listener since like ‘08 and while he has a very good discography with a couple of classics sprinkled in, I can’t put him in that discussion.

It’s not only due to the lack of mainstream success but he didn’t have alot of cultural impact either.

It’s not that he ain’t marketable enough..I mean Pac and DMX two black bald hardcore/gangster rappers were very successful but Gibbs didn’t have the personality or the charisma at the beginning stages to be a rap star.

It’s not until later on in his career that he started to open up and be a character but unfortunately he ruined his image with all the shenanigans, fukkery and controversy that took the light off of him being an incredible talent.

I still maintain that Gibbs ain’t been the same since coming out of prison. After he’s released he dumps his girl that was loyal and goes on a fukking spree impregnating porn stars and hookers, getting into a beef with Benny and losing physically, the ridiculous trolling and attention seeeking etc. It’s been a downward spiral ever since but I will still press play on a Freddie Gibbs song or album because that mutafukka is dope on that microphone.

well

hes no Ka

hes no Roc Marci

3rd spot is up for debate but the list of rappers who qualify is long (Gibbs is on the list imo)

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

He does but he won't ever be considered. I feel the same way about Don Trip

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Ayo pause, any nikka gettin pegged and spread ain’t no top anything

He’s like Anakin Skywalker, he definitely was the chosen one at one point but he took the zesty path and became a total fan.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

ScHoolboy Q has multiple times sales, more classics, more hits, better and authentic content, more clout, more endorsements, more cosigns, actually loves his family, and even a grammy nom to boot

Tldr: fukk a big 3, it's just TDE

 

[BK The Great]

fukk outta here Ransom better than him.
