I wouldnt be shocked if Freddie ends up top 10 when its all said and done. He making pinnacle level gangsta rap in a era where its not common

Exactly, it's a few cats in here not giving Gibbs enough credit on this release. Beats and rhymes is a marriage, and when it's on it's a classic.

Yea you can’t be starved for content unless you’re lost imo. Damn near every genre is releasing steady content

Give my nikka his grammy nomination.

Nip got his. It's Fred's turn.

shyt was lit, pray my soul to keep, dear Lord, lay me down
The SWAT team might machine gun or grenade me down
And if they do tell my people, just hold my babies down
nikka we need to go back to pages like it's the eighties now
Yeah, fukk rap, bytch, I'm poppin' off of poppy seed
My name cocaine, they ain't gon put me in the nominees
Since gangsta Gibbs brought back the bars, I see a lot of me
nikkas is my sons, I wish they mommas would have swallowed these
nikka, cappin' ass nikka
Jeezy used to say "Boy, you one rappin' ass nikka"
I said I'm shippin' packs, I don't need no advance, nikka
nikkas thought I took a loss, but I jumped off, and I got richer
shyt is funny when you think about it
Rolex too big, I took a link up out it
Frank Lucas, I hit the closet, pulled the mink up out it
Livin' this life, p*ssy dream about it, nikka

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Krit and gibbs make a good combination as well Gibbs flow oh my GOD






These two need to work more especially if he don't work with curren$y anymore

This right here. KRIT's production is underrated and suits Gibbs really well

fukk a nom he shoulda had at least that last yr

Exactly. This is just my hip-hop playlist, and like I said there's mad shyt that I know I'm forgetting and don't have on there yet.

But 28 projects (and I've liked most of them I've heard) not counting loosies and instrumental albums only 22 weeks into the year is great.

Edit: @kdslittlebro Real talk this much music was NOT available in the 90's or 00's. Releases had bigger feels to them, and the music was arguably better, but right now is an amazing time for hip-hop if you scout around and actually look. I know cats are busy and it's easier said than done, but there are fukking gems out there right now.

Yep, it was actually GxFR that really got me digging I was barely listening to music anymore until I heard Tana Talk 3.

I didn’t even know Boom Bap was having a resurgence at the time

Obv, he deserve a win, let alone a nomination but nikkas gotta start somewhere


They only gave Nip his shyt cuz he passed smh , Otherwise he would've just been stuck being a "Grammy Nominee".

Scottie Beam timing is crazy

It’s crazy how the greatest music doesn’t get real recognition unless it comes from the right ppl I gotta give Drake credit that tip on shytting on em

Ross was the weakest feature (not bad at all but the other 3 were amazing), but it was on my current favorite beat
