Freddie Gibbs’ beef with Curren$y...

[GrindtooFilthy]

At that time Spitta was the A side. I had only vaguely knew Gibbs as the dude beefing with jeezy and had a indie highly acclaimed album that I didn’t bother to listen to.

Then he blew me away how dope he was out rapping Spitta ffwd now I’m a more consistent Gibbs fan than spitta

And I know I’m not alone. Before it was easy to track how popular a indie artist was, Currensy was the most popular indie cat. He opened his fanbase to so many rappers and producers. Alchemist may be on just blaze retired status if not for Spitta

So for Gibbs to carry a grudge over a damn video is silly. And the answer why is he be on coke man. 9/10 if you see Freddie do some wild out of pocket shyt it’s bc he on that shyt

Gibbs aint the only one, a lot of artist carry grudges over projects that isn't promoted well. shyt im going thru it my damn self right now. I did a project and a lot of ppl feel like i. didn't promote properly and dont wanna talk to me about it after the fact. smh

Curren$y was attached to multiple movements. That's why he was a big name on blogs and message boards. People had motivation to fukk with him.

When he broke away from all that, more and more people stopped caring about him. The same thing happened to Wiz although he's still a big name, just not listened to.

That’s not accurate.

The only movement he was attached to was Wayne/young money and he left and took it from there. He had a good 10-15 mixtapes before he tried to switch it up and go major with stoned immaculate

His calling card was making 4,5 tapes in a year when nobody was doin that. That’s why he had a following. Any movement was one he started, Jet Life

Currensy wasn’t known bc of other people’s movements’ Even with the Dame affiliation, Dame dash hopped on HIS bandwagon.

 

[Piff Perkins]

It's crazy cause people was saying I was buggin for even making this thread earlier on. Smh. Lol.

Plus I bet Gibbs wanted to use the project as leverage for the deals he was shopping around that time. Fetti came out in 2018, then he signed to RCA and dropped Bandana the following year. He prob was hoping Fetti would be a more of a success (underground wise) and blamed that shyt on Spitta. Which is lame obviously. If it's gonna sell it's gonna sell, a video isn't gonna change things for an underground record like that.

I didn't say he was on other people's crews and that's how he got on. I said he was part of many a movements and he benefited from that.

No Limit and C-Murder
Cash Money (he had features with Lil Wayne and Remy Ma)
Blog Era
Weed Rap
Amalgam Digital (label of Curren$y and Max B's debut albums and had Joe Budden too)
Dame Dash
Babygrande Records (had Dame Grease, NORE and a lot of underground rappers and producers and was a big deal in the late-2000s and early-2010s)
Wavy fandom (Curren$y and Max B have a record together too; Harry Fraud collaboration). Is Jet Life not an offshoot of this?

All these things had their own fanbases. Curren$y got looks from all of them. When those movements died out or he separated himself, the fanbase shrinked.

You’re applying things after the fact. It’s backwards. Currensy was not switching up to fit into a box. He was defining the box.

“Blog era” was a name that was applied AFTER those rappers popped individually

“Weed rap” was a name that was applied AFTER he invented it (for that era, Snoop and Devin the dude were out the picture)

Amalgam and baby grande..???? Those were vehicles to release music no one knew Currensy as the amalgam guy

Max had been in jail a good 5 years when spitta fw him. He was not benefitting from that. I had never heard Harry Fraud in my life before Spitta grabbed him. Jet life was not an offshoot…like fam if you wasn’t familiar with currensy in real time just say that. Bc your description is all wrong

For sure. No one was using the term blog era during that time. That's just what people ended up calling it after it ended and they wanted a good term for what it was.

we are in the age of virality, you'd be surprised what can go viral and what doesn't

Using Amalgam Digital and Babygrande as examples of advantageous waveriding is crazy. It always seemed like the absolute ceiling for releases distributed by them was going double nickel.

Curren$y was literally establishing lanes. Not jumping into them. U buggin out. Lol.

lol Whole post is crazy

I missed it the first time but buddy said ‘Wavy fandom (Curren$y and Max B have a record together too; Harry Fraud collaboration). Is Jet Life not an offshoot of this?’

[EastsideRio]

Wait.... WHAT?!

Coli.com yall lol

Act like you never heard the term Gateway drug brehs

 

[EastsideRio]

You're giving those two way too much credit.
Cheech & Chong and a thousand stoner movies already did that.

The mainstream doesn't even know Curren$y exists.

Nikkas in my generation ain’t watch no damn Cheech and Chong. And you gotta be a fool if you don’t remember them Wiz and Currensy tapes

This is so far off base I don't know where to begin. You obviously wasn't listening to the man when he was doing his shyt. Talk about fukked up history. My man said he started Jet Life b/c of Max B......

 

[neomerge]

If curren$y ever tells his side of the story I'd be more inclined to believe him. Gibbs is dope as hell but is a drama queen.
