I've heard enough......Its time to discuss Freddie Gibbs alltime placement

[Solomon Lurke]

Was having this thought yesterday while playing the new album. His project run for the last few years has been flawless. So much of his music stays in my rotation. Hell I even play his Tiny Desk likes it’s it’s own EP. Also he always says something in his songs that doesn’t get me initially, but after a few listens I’m like damn. Subtle deep shxt. Plus Him, DaBaby and Joyner Lucas are the only rap artists I check for and rewatch videos from. He’s definitely going to end up way higher in my rankings.

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

Overall I’d say top 40/50 but if we do it by decade or current gen, he top 3 of the 2010s easily.

 

[Renegade47]

How you leave off Midwestboxframe, Cold Day In Hell and BFK but have ESGN on there?

man its a stretch on ESGN thats amazing tracks 9-14. those weed carriers he had on that album really ruined that shyt. but yea gotta switch esgn with bfk for sure.

 

[WaveGang]

Skill wise hell yeah.. Long time I heard a rapper in his bag like gibbs

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Predictably The Coli's radio rap groupies are shytting on him

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Them spoken word like poem raps over sampled beats Don’t do it for me.
He good but he ain’t top 40 he don’t talk about shyt either.

his music trying to hard for me.
Add to the fact he not hard either but be talking like he in the mob

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

How you leave off Midwestboxframe, Cold Day In Hell and BFK but have ESGN on there?

This, plus Miseducation which is probably my 3rd fav Fred joint

 

[~Styles~]

Both he and Roc Marci are on the Beans, Styles P, Mega tier for me....but they're both trending upwards with every release they drop.

In terms of my personal enjoyment they have a strong chance of cracking the top 10

Obviously consensus is a whole 'nother argument

It’s wild how damn near ever verse he put on “fetti” is quotable smh. I can’t think a more well rounded and enjoyable (active) rapper. If jay rock put out more albums like “90059” (Sleeper classic btw) I’d put him up there too.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

He not even better then future all time .
Gibbs cool but he nothing special at all
Fake tough guy music for older nikkas that fukk wit them samples

 

[Dylmatic]

Just make a list with who you would put above him.

(No order)
Nas
Kool G Rap
Rakim
Jay-Z
Notorious B.I.G.
Andre 3000
2pac
Scarface
Ice Cube
Chuck D
Lupe Fiasco
Pharoahe Monch
Black Thought
Kendrick Lamar
Q-Tip
Ghostface Killah
MF Doom
Roc Marciano
Slick Rick
KRS One
Big Daddy Kane
Common
Mos Def
Prodigy
Redman
Guru
LL Cool J
Big Pun
Eminem (I hate what he has become but he should still be in this list with his SSLP-MMLP-TES run + Relapse)

I guess he's top 30, i could put him at the end of the list maybe even above a few of these names. And i might add Killer Mike, Pusha T, Skyzoo and Ka from the 2000-2010s too.

 

[keepitrealprk]

Gotta be in the top 20 since 2010.

BUT ya'll are discounting his live performance/live rapping skills. If we're going there, he's top 15 for sure.

 

[AMcV'88]

he's the best rapper from Gary, Indiana...I'll give him that.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

As far as music goes he's ahead of a lot of dudes people hype, Kiss, Fab, Banks, Sigel, Luda, Tip, Jeezy, Game, etc...

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Dude got like three good albums, settle down dude.
