@ the thought of Gibbs having Skylar Grey on the hooks.
Wait people are saying Gibbs has zero mainstream appeal how?
He can rap on trap beats, he can rap on soul beats, his flow is hypnotising.
best post in this thread, Gibbs might be the most versatile rapper out when comes to attacking a beat, there isn't a beat he couldn't rap tothat aint what im sayin? Crooked I would be Jayz level
...all im saying is Freddie gibbs has 0 commercial appeal imo,matter of fact he has less commercial appeal than Obie Trice,the white Yellawolf,and just about everybody in Slaughterhouse
So it really don't matter how good Gibbs is,he aint that much better than a lot of them nikkas so thinkin he wouldn't have got thefrom the public just becuz Eminem introduced him gets a big fat
...unless you are somebody who thinks Eminem is the reason 50 blew up I don't see how u could think otherwise
"...and 50 provided the proof with hit after hit...ill give Eminem credit for bringing him to the interscope machine but that's where it stops...Dre would get more credit than Eminem
Well Gibbs was signed in 2006 by Interscope meaning he was in at the right time to carve the lane out for himself with a clean slate that wasn't tarnished by CTE. I don't see why I can't compare the two? Of course I can compare Ross to Gibbs because Ross wasn't just handed those situations on a plate. Everything from the co signs and the labels being behind him just meant he played his hand nicely and won big. The MMG imprint is a testimony to the success Ross has gained as a GANGSTER rapper. Like I said if Gibbs wasn't so naive back then he could've been marketed differently and sold on a mainstream level but instead he's cut too many of his relationships to be given that co sign.
Interscope is the machine. Slaughterhouse have never made good enough music as a group to organically grow and sell records, they're just a good freestyle group. Yelawolf is a terrible artist. If Game went plat on Interscope, Gibbs would've gone plat on interscope.
Gibbs on a label like MMG would've been the spark needed to sell him in THIS era and they would have done, I have no doubt in my mind about that but of course he fukked that up for himself by standing by Jeezy in the wrong decade. Gibbs on MMG beats would be something reminiscent to DMX in clubs
He's just too real for the fakeness and false bullshyt of the mainstream it's simple. His appeal however should NEVER be questioned, had he sold out he'd be in millions. This is why he gets my co sign consistently
Sidenote: That str8 Killa mixtape is just
cashis ?? 
i guess 
how abou this kid yelawolf??
DX: Let’s just end this Q&A with one loose question I been wanting to ask you since reading your LA Weekly feature, did I understand correctly that while you were with Interscope Eminem passed on working with you?
Freddie Gibbs: Yeah, Eminem passed on me, man. [Laughs] That’s one of the craziest things of my career. I love Eminem’s work…but him and [Shady Records co-founder] Paul [Rosenberg], I guess they figured that I wasn’t up to they standard. I don’t know what the fukk they was thinking when they did that, ‘cause I see other muthafukkas on they label that can’t hold a candle to the shyt I do. But that’s they business, that’s they company, I don’t got nothing against what the fukk they doing. Until a muthafukka say something bad about me, then I’ll go in on these nikkas. But I ain’t got nothing against nothing they doing. That was a stage of my career I was at, and maybe I wasn’t appealing to them at the time. But, I ain’t trippin’, it is what it is, I ain’t bitter about that. At first I felt surprised, especially when I saw other muthafukkas that they signed. I’m like, “Man, this [dude]? C’mon man, get real.” [Laughs] But at the same time, it was a blessing in disguise ‘cause it got me to this point where I’m at and letting me know I don’t need no muthafukka to get my name out there. I don’t need no Eminem. I don’t need no co-signs from none of these nikkas to get where I need to be in this game. So that [experience] was just kinda opening my eyes to something, and showing me to go another direction. I [could have been] on Shady [Records] and shelved or dropped or forgotten about right now. I’m 28 right now, [and] I think I’m at an age where I can definitely see things better than what I could see ‘em at 23. So I’m glad I ain’t sign with Shady Records.
