Freddie Gibbs Responds to Benny interview? | "Ohhh I Know Something That Came & When Too!" | Update : Benny Back Taking Shots

[TheObserver]

Benny tough. I'm a fan..
but Freddie is better overall to me.
Definitely wouldn't mind hearing a back and forth..

 

[Guvnor]

Meh

Yeah the more they quote, the more I'm baffled. Again, Gibbs can rap. I'm not saying he's talentless, but what they're hearing and what I'm hearing....I don't get it. He's good but him being better than Benny and WAY better at that, I just don't hear it. His bars are not special to me. They're solid. Not wack, but not "dope" either. Content isn't particularly deep or thought provoking either or bar heavy.

so y'all quote some Benny bars lol

 

[Guvnor]

If it was Conway vs. Gibbs this would be a very different conversation, Conway has stronger songwriting and lyrical chops than Benny does and would outrap Gibbs bar for bar (albeit maybe not flow-wise).

I like Benny's features, as a solo artist though he's a one-trick pony too much of the time.

Conway has better songwriting and lyrical chops than Benny? That's a lie! Bennys albums especially his last one was way better than God Don't Make Mistakes. Benny makes better songs and that's why he is the hotter artist.

There is a rivalry between those two but Benny is ahead imo.

No

 

[Guvnor]

No

Cause you can't lol. I'm a Benny fan but his shyt would be lighter than the Gibbs bars quoted in here.

Agreed, Benny is derivative of the Cassidy/Beanie Sigel/etc. school of rapping and doesn't push the boundaries of it outside of rapping over updated production. Once you've heard a Benny album you've pretty much heard them all.

Freddie Gibbs is derivative of BTNH/Snypaz/etc. but has more versatility with songwriting and production than the average doubletime flow rapper.

If it was Conway vs. Gibbs this would be a very different conversation, Conway has stronger songwriting and lyrical chops than Benny does and would outrap Gibbs bar for bar (albeit maybe not flow-wise).

I like Benny's features, as a solo artist though he's a one-trick pony too much of the time.

Benny literally has 5 albums better than Conway’s best album

If you're referencing the part where I just said that Conway can outrap Gibbs then we're gonna have to agree to disagree.

Nope wasnt referencing that, all clear there breh, but that is a different conversation though, as i disagree

And after he deactivated his social media

He never deactivated his social media.

Fred.

Thread took a weird turn.

The steak house thing may or may not have happened.

Benny got robbed and shot. That 100% happened.

Let's stick to the music.

Fred.

Cause you can't it's okay! You don't have proof so your opinion is irrelevant.

 

[NormanConnors]

you're extremely biased to one type of sound. heavy soul samples, simple flows with slick talk and wittiness in a pretty unoriginal way. it feels like benny the butcher is trying to turn reasonable doubt as an album and recreate it for his entire career....(then again the nikka first song that really took off was '97 hov ) i mean the nikka music group is called black soprano family. he just does this mafioso thing...and he does it really fukking well.

gibbs can and has rapped proficiently in all manners of production styles with different flows melodies for well over a decade. a lot of you are caught up on his work with just the legendary producers. mans was on HEAVY 808 trap type shyt to extremely abstract madlib....to more traditional soul sample use...to god damn g funk from cardo and worlds freshest...and makes it work seamlessly. Working with artists from virtually every region and not being out of place on a record. The nikka be singing hooks man. they arent in the same realm in terms of versatility.
you like that cold winter moving packs out the trunk in virginia music.........gibbs can do that and a lot more. gonna sound like i'm hyping gibbs a lot but the nikka is nice

And what kind of Butcher only uses one type of knife for their cuts. Breh might have to retire that moniker.

 

[NormanConnors]

I can but I’m not going do work for you or try to convince you whats hot

Even though I'm on the other side of the fence in regards to Benny. I can respect this. @Chip Skylark this is what im talking about breh, there is no ducking . Especially when you listen to BOTH artists efficiently, which isnt the case with some of the brothas in this thread (having an agenda against gibbs)

 

[DontEemTry]

I just don't get Gibbs appeal at all. Like lyrically he's extremely average to me.

Then you add the fact that he's actually cornball from the burbs who's basically frontin about bein a street nikka all his life?

 

[FreshAIG]

Do You think Benny can 'rap' better than gibbs

Yes. Neither are "bar" heavy in terms of like clever wordplay/punchlines, but Benny is for sure far better with the multi-syllabic/compound rhyming and I think he has a better delivery, projection, clarity. Gibbs has a better flow.
