Freddie Gibbs will never recover from dating and impregnating a porn star.
Now Gibbs needs to go on jumpoff and talk to Adam22 about it.
Freddie Gibbs will never recover from dating and impregnating a porn star.
That project did exactly what it was supposed to which was expose Freddie to currensy’s fanbase which dwarfed Freddie’s at that time.
This is make believe. Acclaim from WHO?! Currensy may have 100 mixtapes by now All of em ain’t gon be talked about (and again, from who. The source? Grammys? Complex? What outlets give ANY spitta project acclaim)
Fetti is great. But saying ANY currensy project is ‘slept on’ doesn’t even make sense
As far as the collab blueprint, read my post again. I didn’t say Fetti was his first. I said he didn’t have a collab album til after Spitta did it. Spitta teamed with Ski for pilot talk in 2010. Then alchemist for covert coup in 2011. East coast producers. Then AFTER those, next thing you know Freddie did his with Statik—-an east coast producer after he had been with a southerner Jeezy the whole time
I'm saying from Freddie's perspective. Album is up there with Gibbs' best work. Everybody knows Curren$y has like a million joints no one has the time to listen to.
My bad, I did read it wrong. Gibbs came out rapping over anything and everything though, so I wouldn't try to put him in a southern or midwest box before Covert Coup. The first songs that got him attention were over the beats to Flamboyant and 93 Til Infinity.
Curren$y definitely one of the influencers for the underground formula that everyone follows now, but it's not like he was looked at like a trendsetter at the time when others were also doing the same. There were a lot of rappers linking with single producers around then. Blu & Exile, DJ Fresh, Killer Mike & El P, Madvillainy, etc. That's just off the top of my head. Spitta is more known for Alchemist specifically switching to that formula, rather than rappers like Freddie. I can't give Spitta credit for that.
Even without knowing the details brehs accepted that currency shouldn't promo projects he's on because he usually does it for himself is a wild position.I fukks with both these nikkas' music but ain't no way in hell I'm finna sit up in this or any other thread defending some rap nikkas. I or nobody else knows these nikkas personally for all this defense (particularly in Curren$y's case). These nikkas don't know y'all.
It's because Currensy never pushed any of music when it came out, no videos, no marketing, no nun.
How do u know Curren$y is a herb? Do u know him?no shyt curren$y is a herb and gibbs is a weirdo
Anyone denying Spitta changed the game is delusional.These are 1 offs and/or exclusive relationships. Currensy was the first (or most prominent) rapper doing a high volume of collabs with different producers and with other rappers. It wasn’t the norm at that time. If for no other reason, no other rapper was producing enough music to do that many collabs. So when they DID drop they focused on themselves. If they did a producer collab it was maybe once a year if that. Spitta was collabing with 3 producers and 2 rappers in 1 year He changed the game
Also,
1) key distinction from the DJ/producer tape vs the ‘produced by’ tape. Ie Statik Selektah had a dozen collabs, he was partly a draw himself. His presence is heavy. Same as Drama of course. Spitta was unique bc at first he did do the typical Drama amd don cannon tape, but with PT and covert coup theres no drops there’s no DJ the producer played the back.
2) he went to producers that weren’t even doing collabs tapes. Ski literally wasn’t producing heavy like that, Harry fraud maybe had one but he was not popular, and Alc had only done one with Prodigy who of course was family. Spitta with no ties to Alc getting that had nggas like
Exactly. Spitta out at the Essence Fest getting love from Gucci and Luda. Aint no way he worried about Gibbs and that silly shyt. Remember Gibbs was doing this same shyt with Jeezy for years until Jeezy had enough and set him straight on Therapy For My Soul. Now Jeezy one of Gibbs favorite rappers, he admits he was at fault in the situation and Jeezy wants nothing else to do with him.Spitta should just keep ignoring him.
Gibbs has a negative aura around him it seems.
To this day no one is keeping up with Spitta's output. He's in a league all his own when it comes to the amount of music he releases. Freddie definitely not trying to release that many tapes every year. Spitta broke the mold in that regard, but he didn't change the game.These are 1 offs and/or exclusive relationships.
