Freddie Gibbs Calls Gunna A Snitch During Back-And-Forth Twitter Spat
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim Bennett / Getty Am I getting old or are rap beefs getting really weird? Clearly, the answer is…yes. On Wednesday, Atlanta rapper Gunna took to Twitter to promote his new album Drip Season 4, according to XXL, and to (I guess?) take a shot at Gary, Indiana, MC Freddie Gibbs. “When my album drop Freddie Gibbs will [have] the biggest moment of his career,” Gunna tweeted. No one seems to be clear on what Gunna was trying to say about Gibbs, but Gibbs did respond…at length. At one point, I wasn’t sure if Gunna and Gibbs were beefing or having a bromance moment. But then Gibbs brought out the big Twitter finger guns and accused Gunna of making an appearance on Crime Stoppers, an act Gibbs had previously said would make anyone an entire snitch. Gibbs then po...
Twitter Streets Saying Jim Jones Allegedly Put The Mitts On Freddie Gibbs In Miami
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jim Bennett / Getty The Twitter streets are abuzz with chatter that Jim Jones and his crew cross paths with Freddie Gibbs and his compatriots while dining in Miami. On Tuesday (December 14) at the Prime 112 restaurant, the two rappers allegedly got into a fight after a reported exchange between the two groups. Details are scant but an outlet we refuse to name on this channel got the scoop of the altercation, explaining that witnesses say Jones and his team were on the way out of the restaurant when Gibbs and his crew were walking in. There was some apparent bad blood between the rappers reportedly started by Gibbs, and one of Jones’ crew threw the first punch. Gibbs’ chief rival, Akademiks, had plenty to say via his Twitch channel about the whole af...
Kane Train: Freddie Gibbs Drops Off New “Big Boss Rabbit” Track
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Freddie Gibbs has been on a creative tear beginning with a run of acclaimed studio albums that began with his proper debut in ESGN back in 2013. It appears that the Gary, Ind. native is gearing up to deliver more of his razor-sharp lyrics and music on the back of a new single and video in “Big Boss Rabbit.” Fresh from having his collaborative project Alfredo with The Alchemist up for a Best Rap Album Grammy Award this year, Gibbs began dropping off singles not connected with Hooligan Al or Madlib’s hazy production behind him and opted to go into more traditional spaces beginning with last October’s “4 Thangs” with Hit-Boy and Big Sean. With “Big Boss Rabbit,” clearly a nod to Gibbs’ Vice Lords affiliation, Freddie Kane displays his ...

While there, Money Merc becomes friends with his...
Freddie Gibbs Shares Story Of Shooting Drug Addict Who Kept It Pushing
Source: PYMCA / Getty Freddie Gibbs has always positioned himself as an authentic representation of the streets that raised him and informs the bulk of his high-quality musical output. However, before Hip-Hop fame and Grammy nominations, Gibbs spent his time on the block and retold a story of how he shot a man hopped up on crack cocaine nine times who lived to tell the tale. In an interview with Joe Rogan for the host’s The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, a conversation between comedian Brian Moses and the man also known as Kane, with the trio discussing the finer points of cocaine. After Moses broke down why 45 caliber bullets were designed to take down coked-up Black men back in the day, Gibbs just blurted out that he too has seen how difficult it is to take down a man hopped up on that cr...
The 30 Best Albums of 2020
After a deluge of canceled or delayed tours, drive-in experiments, Bandcamp Fridays and bedroom livestreams, we’re finally here. Yay? It’s hard to celebrate much of anything in 2020. But one encouraging sign from the music industry has been the number of artists innovating on the fly — figuring out ways to sustain their careers through the madness. And as fans, at least we’ve had new albums to help us process our continuing semi-apocalypse. Having (mercifully) reached the end of this awful year, we have even more perspective on the functionality of a great record. The 30 we’ve assembled here have prompted us to dance, helped us grieve, made us laugh, or even just allowed us to escape into a transportive riff or soundscape. We assume they did the same for the artists themselves. Let us reme...
Freddie Gibbs Teases New Song With Big Sean & Hit-Boy
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Freddie Gibbs is one of the game’s most talented MC’s. The Bandana rapper recently linked up with Big Sean and Hit-Boy in the studio, and he’s teased the results of the collaboration. Hit-Boy has been in his bag lately, executive-producing Nas’ recent King’s Disease project and he also has an album in works with Griselda wunderkind Benny The Butcher. For the latter, Freddie Gibbs contributed, and it clearly wasn’t a one-time deal. Gangsta Gibbs, who recently inked a deal with Warner Bros., took to Instagram to share footage of him and Sean Don in the studio going in over some Hit-Boy production—who also contributed to the Detroit rapper’s latest album. The two MC’s go back and forth spitting witty bars over a laid back but bouncy groove. “Million Dollars Million ...
Freddie Gibbs Rings Up Rick Ross in Theatrical ‘Scottie Beam’ Video
Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist’s Alfredo has already been hailed as one of the best records of 2020 — thanks to some of the stickiest bars of the year — and its visuals only hammer that in more. The duo released their latest video for standout album cut “Scottie Beam” on Wednesday, which shows Gibbs pulled over in a convertible as an officer draws a gun on him. Gibbs holds his own and escapes the life-or-death situation before Rick Ross sees Gibbs’ face plastered on a TV screen and calls him up. The two rappers link up at Ross’ place as Ross throws some cash Gibbs’ way, sends him off and dives into his unforgettable verse off the critically acclaimed record (“My pistol polished, any problems, I’ma pull that ho/Peter Parker, but I’ve yet to reach my pinnacle”). “Scottie Beam...

As spotted on HipHopDX the Gary, Indiana MC made a recent appearance on the Desus & Mero show. As usual The Bodega Boys were combing through the biggest stories in popular culture. Things got interesting when the topic of DJ Akademiks’ and Kane’s online beef came up. The two got him on the video call and a roasting ensued. ‘This hoe ass got mad because he thought I was talking some shit about Gunna and T.I. or something li...
DJ Akademiks Suspended From Complex For Slandering Chrissy Teigen, Freddie Gibbs Approves
Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty DJ Akademiks took an L, but Freddie Gibbs wasn’t involved just yet—but he does approve. The divisive, to say the least, “blogger” and host has been suspended from Complex News after calling Chrissy Teigen out of her name. On Tuesday (June 30), Akademiks jumped out the window when he came for John Legend’s wife while he was streaming on Twitch. Her crime was allegedly sneak dissing him. “It’s bewildering to me. His bitch be talking mad sh*t online,” said Akademiks, referring to Teigen. “What’s… I dislike this b*tch so much, I can’t even lie to you. One time she sneak-dissed me so f*ck that hoe. Straight up and John Legend could hear that. Don’t have your b*tch dissing me because I don’t give two f*cks about none of y’all n*ggas.” That was only the beginning a...

(Photo by Kyle Gustafson / For The Washington Post via Getty Images) While Black twitter continues to drink the seemingly never ending August Alsina tea there is a beef between two of Rap’s biggest personalities to also be savored. Freddie Gibbs has responded to Akademiks in very petty fashion. As reported on HipHopDX the “Crime Pays” rapper is now selling merchandise with Livington’s likeness superimposed on a Teletubby; yes a Teletubby. He announced the move on his official Instagram. “I ain’t done with U p***. I’mma torture U until U quit your job. And whoever else want smoke holla at Big Rabbit” he w...
