More eloquently stated than how I've said it, but I'm not mad at this take at all. You specifically out of everyone on this board got me to shift how I looked at Gibbs a little bit, in terms of him sort of behaving like a caricature of a bunch of gangster/thug/pimp rap stereotypes as a part of his image and his brand. I still check for his music, but it's been disappointing to see him devolving as an artist. You Only Live 2wice was a crazy album. One of my favorite introspective albums ever, and then after that....yeah...we've gotten a few songs like Practice and Skinny Suge, but overall not all that much. He used to do those types of songs all the time.

It's crazy too because you'd think his experience almost losing his life in prison overseas would've calmed him down and made him think more about his family and shyt. But it's like after documenting the experience on Only Live 2wice he went in the opposite direction and started wilding out even more. I feel like dude's kind of having a midlife crisis in the social media era for everyone to see.

Just to pay homage...I want this Gibbs back.

Yup. And my theory, which I cannot prove so it's just an opinion/thought, is that the homie tension he spoke about in Homesick led to him leaving those street (ESGN) guys and getting involved with new street guys. And all that negative energy and the process of financing that shyt (security, gang shyt, etc) has him going all out with the antics and gangsta shyt. None of these rappers are out here rolling solo, I get that everyone has crews and security is just the reality of things. Kendrick for instance is surrounded by real gang dudes who protect him...but that's not his energy nor is he trying to impress them, nor is he getting extorted.

I doubt Benny and them are getting extorted either, it's just their Buffalo homies protecting them. I'm just saying when you aren't truly from that life, truly from that city...you become food. And I think that's where Gibbs is right now. Again can't prove any of this, just my views.

Conway is the best rapper. Songwriting and all that. Westside Gunn makes the best music. Benny is kinda in the middle. Which is prolly why he appeals to so many.

Never thought about that last part but yeah. He kind of splits the difference between Conway and West

Oh shyt :gladbron:

That's the track Gibbs previewed on IG, hopefully Hit drops that shyt them nikkas was skating on it :wow:



It's like I was saying them nikkas beefing is weird because there's so many mutual nikkas they constantly work with. Maybe Hit trying to get them nikkas to chill out behind the scenes since he just posted this shyt :jbhmm:

I never said this and neither did @Piff Perkins . Our overall point was that he's cut back on those type of songs. Practice and Skinny Suge are 2 songs out the 25 on his most recent 2 solo albums. He used to have lots of songs like those on his albums.

I never said he fell off or anything like that, but I do miss him doing more of those types of joints.
