Freddie Gibbs Responds To Uncle Murda’s “Rap Up 2022” Slander
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Lorne Thomson / Getty For the past few seasons, Freddie Gibbs has found himself squabbling with a few of his rap peers, and now he’s taking aim at Uncle Murda as he’s taken issue with some bars that the Brooklyn rapper threw at him in his annual “Rap Up” track. Known to take shots at any and everyone in his yearly “Rap Up” song in which Uncle Murda analyzes the past years’ events in a comedic and sometimes disrespectful manner, Freddie Gibbs didn’t take too lightly to Murda’s lines which stated: Related Stories “Let’s talk about Freddie Gibbs, like really what’s up with him?/N*ggas robbed him in Buffalo and he got beat up again/He be out here looking like a cold-blooded sucker.” Needless to say that wasn’t something that Gibbs found too humorous.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Lorne Thomson / Getty Freddie Gibbs is enjoying high praise after the recent release of his latest studio album $oul $old $eparately and is currently making his media rounds to promote the project. The Gary, Ind. native returned to the L.A. Leakers studio to deliver a blistering freestyle verse over a certified Jay-Z classic. Freddie Gibbs has torched the L.A.

Bet the House on Freddie Gibbs
Freddie Gibbs realized his artistic appeal years ago. See the haunted closing lines from “BFK,” the title track of his 2012 mixtape Baby Face Killa: “Got a slug for the judge, bringin’ heat for police / And a book full of sins that I reap when I sleep / Then I wake up, and I put ’em on a beat; how you love that?” It’s a three-line summary of a catalog that now spans three decades: Gibbs menaces authorities while revealing past felonious trespasses have turned his dreams into nightmares. Ever self-aware, he breaks the fourth wall and arches an eyebrow at his audience. He knows that shuttling between conviction and contrition makes him the perfect gangster antihero, a Tony Soprano-like figure whose sins are as captivating as him grappling with them and grasping at redemption. In hindsight, t...

Freddie Gibbs Says Jussie Smollett Should’ve Got 3-5 Years In Prison
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim Bennett / Getty It’s safe to say that not many people came to the defense of Jussie Smollett following his sentencing last week, and now you can count Freddie Gibbs as one of the many people who believe Jussie is simply reaping what he himself has sowed. TMZ caught up with the “Big Boss Rabbit” rapper and asked him to weigh in on the fact that capitol rioters a.k.a. insurrectionists are getting lighter prison sentences than Jussie Smollett did to which Freddie said “The capitol rioters should go to jail and “Juicy” Smollett should go to jail too, man.” He then added that “Juicy” Smollett shouldn’t see the light of day until three years from now as opposed to the 5 month sentence he got hit with last week.

Jim Jones Tells Angela Yee He Has No “Issue” With Freddie Gibbs
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Guillermo Proano/WENN.com / WENN A few weeks ago social media was ablaze with word that Jim Jones and his crew jumped Freddie Gibbs inside the Prime 112 restaurant in Miami. And while there was word that someone did actually record the fight which allegedly included Jim Jones body slamming Gibbs, nothing ever materialized and Gibbs denied the account. Now after weeks of keeping mum on the subject, Capo addressed the topic while doing an interview with Angela Yee on her Lip Service podcast. Yee approached the subject by asking if it was true that he was naming his next album Prime 112 to which Jones stated it was “false.” After the hosts asked if it was a joke, Jim seemed tongue-tied for a second before asking to “skip” to the next topic. After talking abo...
