Freddy Gibbs* & Madlib - Thuggin'

Can't believe Thuggin dropped in 2011. That's hella early in Gibbs' career.
:mjlol:

Yeah thats crazy man. I started listening to Gibbs in 2012 when the Gangsta Grillz tape dropped. I remember when Cold Day In Hell dropped but I refused to listen to him cause he was always talking dissing artists in interviews

Having finally got the end of this, it is obvious there is some mental health issues at hand here, mixed in with some errors on doing business. The accusation that Lambo doesn’t actually do anything, is plausible, as is the consideration that Archie acted in a self destructive manner, as his circle and world got smaller and smaller as his health deteriorated. Contractually, Archie made some huge errors of judgment to ensure his financial stability, and that should be a lesson for anyone. He didn’t take the time out to consider he could end up with nothing if his plan had even worked. You should never put that must trust in someone. Not even if they’re your blood, in my opinion.

“That person you know” also became one of the most frustrating things to read over and over as well.

I wouldn't say "Lambo doesn't do anything" is remotely believable

He's been the sole manager of Gibbs since they cut ties with this guy (around the time of "Pinata") and Gibbs has been on an upward trajectory pretty much nonstop. If this guy did all the work it would've been obvious when he left because Gibbs would've stagnated. As it stands he's had the best years of his entire career in recent times and even secured a major label deal, while retaining his masters. Which is unheard of in 2020.

This is the number one thing I noticed

Archie is painting himself to be the reason Gibbs is who he is today but just when he got fired is when Gibbs career took off :mjlol:

Plus he doesn't go into detail about the Madlib relationship (which Gibbs credits Lambo for)

This is a great read though. I cant understand how he has no money by 2014 though. Makes no sense

i don't think that's a fair assessment of what the breh's saying, he kind of ups lambo in there too
That other guy does a lot of things well, but at least at this time, his administration skills are thoroughly incompetent.
i can see why the breh is so bitter and only mentioned that in passing, he's thinking lambo lied on his name and turned freddie against him but hasn't spoken out about it until he saw an article saying that he was like phil jackson. that's gotta be real bad for you, letting that bubble inside you for so long.

Can you not argue the upward trajectory came post-Piñata? Having that album in the bag, opened up opportunities that weren’t there before.

Maybe “Lambo doesn’t do anything” is too harsh a statement but is it plausible that he is in the position he’s in, without putting in that much work? I think there’s potential in that theory.

Man what? :gucci:

Saying a manager's "administration skills are thoroughly incompetent" is not giving someone props.

Dude said he does a lot of stuff well....except the things that make up the core of the job he has. :mjlol:

shyt is the definition of a back-handed compliment.

And like I said....Gibbs career went to another level after this Archie guy was out of the picture. So calling Lambo, the guy responsible for that, "incompetent"....is hating.

For this guy to be so integral to Gibb success.....you'd think Gibbs would fall flat on his face after he left. When in reality most Gibbs fans had no idea this guy existed until yesterday morning.

Let's get crazy and say this Archie guy was the sole reason "Pinata" happened.

According to him Gibbs is an emotional wreck and Lambo is incompetent.

Since "Pinata" Gibbs has toured around the world, dropped 6 albums, gotten several endorsement deals, appeared on Adult Swim, and signed a major label deal.

I'm saying for this guy to supposedly be so important he shouldn't have been so easily replaced. You'd think the wheels would fall off immediately.

Yeah I definitely agree with that, although it’s arguably harder to build a dude up when he’s unknown as opposed to when he’s already started to hit the ground running. If this is a truthful story then it’s possible that lambo just didn’t fukk with him and didn’t tell him what he does on a day to day.

He didn’t mention many tours or shows so I bet that was all lambo while this guy handled the behind the scenes music shyt mostly

Can definitely see your point. To the bolded? The way Gibbs acts on twitter an the jeezy situation kina confirms this. Its hard to really have an opinion cus the story is just...one sided, I'm sure there IS truth to this, but i'll never hear the other sides of the story. Plus, its a lot harder to build something than it is to maintain it, just don't be an idiot (a hard thing to do for many, i know). Your points are all credible though.

Nah I don't mean hot headed, or irrational. Gibbs does a lot of short sighted stuff but that's not what he meant.

Dude said Gibbs would have anxiety attacks and nightmares and wake up crying and he (Archie) was the only one that could calm him down.

Now, Gibbs has spoken about having mental trauma from his past so I'm sure there's some truth to the statement. But again....if Archie is the only person that helped him with that....how has Gibbs functioned since he left?:jbhmm:

I think the skeleton of what he's saying is facts....but he's making himself seem far more important than he actually was. Both professionally and personally.
