The Unnecessary Fall of Freddie Gibbs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Having emerged from obscurity in Gary, Indiana, Freddie Gibbs has been rhyming since the days when he was a self-proclaimed Baby Face stepper. Courtesy of his adept flows, exquisite pen and collaborative albums with production legends like Madlib and The Alchemist, Freddie’s hard work has finally begun to pay off after rapping for 15+ years.
Where a record like Pinata was an underground classic, Alfredo scored him his first Grammy nomination, and just two years on, he released what was his long-awaited major label project, Soul Sold Separately, scoring his highest charting performance in the process when the record landed at number 11.
But, unfortunately for Freddie Gibbs, it feels like that from the very moment that he landed at this newfound height, it could all be snatched away at any moment amid a steady stream of self-sabotage from the man himself.

He’s not falling, if he makes another good album I’m bumping it… stay up Freddie
He didn't say Freddie was falling, 10:43
@@elliottblecker9020 so it’s true just because he said it?? He doesn’t make the rules on who falls or not. We do

Freddie Gibbs is one of few rappers who you can play there whole albums and have little to no skips , his music is timeless 🐰
for real and SSS was DOPE AF
That's what pisses me off with his antics.
Word brother
He didnt fall off. His music is still light years ahead of about 99% of the rap game. As long as he continues to show off his lyrical prowess, none of this other stuff matters. Just more publicity 🤷🏾♂️ Keep going Freddie!!
Yes😮
that’s not true, kendrick just showed how your image can take a hit and effect your music
I'm still bumping sold separately, idgaf about twitter beef as long as the music is still good.
How it should be💯
Me too
This man spread his cheeks for a porn star, those lyrics are empty
the problem is this album WACK compared to his previous work
@@georgesummer536 nah, album was fire not his best but a really strong album tbh
So twenty dudes roll up on you with bricks... and your girl wants you to do what exactly? Lose your life fighting back? Sounds to me like he assessed the situation and appropriately stood down. I'm not even a Freddie stan. This whole video sounds like a hit piece.
These rap blogs weird bro I see why rappers be dissing them mfs made a whole video essay on dudes tweets hella weird😂
It's slumming 2.0
If I had beef with gangster rappers I would probably have armed security. Umm the criticism is pretty obvious. They are saying his gangster persona is fake. That he raps about being dangerous and makes fun of other for getting robbed but regularly gets punked himself.
The issue is he keeps acting gangster and going at actual gangster rappers then getting punked regularly.
Can't take someone serious who writes raps from the persona of big vice lord and attacks other rappers for been fake and not with it.
Rap about social topics and conscious rap then, just be real and you. Don't be lashing out except you're ready for repercussion, he needs to stay in his lane.
It’s mostly clickbait bs, he should have views taken away and more dislikes.
So some drama, but he's still one of the most consistent rappers out there. I don't know why this matters
It really don’t but content at the end of the day🤷🏾♂️
Because he act like a goofy in real life but talk thorough and gangsta in nem records lol
And on top o that acts like he exactly who he say he his in them raps so thas on him.
@@majestymxnt7384 Tbf he been telling us though “Tellin all my h*es that I love em, I’m playin mind games” 😂
@majestymxnt7384 well that's 98% of rappers then
Spreddie Gibbs is an insane nickname 💀
Oh noo bruh 😂
what was he spreading, my communication and english not too good please explain what he was sprading, come on we are all adults here...what was he spreading?
@@ashleyyoung1978 his asscheeks
@@realTI3R LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
It really is some pause type shit akademiks made up that corny ass name and ppl thought it was cool enough to run with
I don't think he fell he just does a lot of goofy stuff outside the music but I know I'll still listen to his music
Everyone featured in this video needs Jesus.
I can't hold in my laughs because I just imagined you jumping into the screen with a cross and bible 😂
😂😂😂 A bunch of mad ppl in clean clothes
We all do.
Academics easily is on the levels of TMZ in this hiphop sphere of news outlets as for Freddie I really never understood why he decided to cut ties with griselda judging that they both started to finally get mainstream attention by the masses throughout the last 5 years
@@JimboniumF Well I tell you what?! They need to get the jumping 😂😂😂
Bandana is cemented in my mind as my soundtrack for life right before COVID happened, that last half of 2019. THEN Alfredo right after??????
Spreddie Gibbs can fuck around all he wants. Keep the music coming.
His last album is pretty dope too
Factssss
completely agree, he has 3 classics under his belt no doubt
Spreddie gibbs lmao
Freddie Gibbs did not fall off. Check his monthly listeners that alone will tell you he didn't fall off. The definition of falling off should only mean when an artist makes no more music and no one is listening to them anymore
He’s built up a consistent fanbase that will always rock with him. His image currently doesn’t look the best, but the fanbase will still rock with him.
nobody said he fell off
@@udontknowme00 Read the title of the video bro
@@jimynutren watch the actual video bro lmao. never once does it mention the quality of his music "falling off", it's all about his public perception and image.
@@udontknowme00 Read the title again. We aint watching this 😂
Im not going to lie: I haven’t been listening to Freddie that much, but I know he’s a talented rapper. He just needs to put more energy pushing his music forward.
Check out practice by Gibbs if you haven't heard it
he does not want to get mainstream
@@mass_machete that's not what he's saying lmao. he's saying take all that energy you use on that dumb sh!t & put it into your music instead. it's already good music, but it could be great music
Piñata, bandana, Alfredo and soul sold separately are 4 of the best albums ever made
@@RaidersDnB $$$ aint nowhere close to the best album ever made lmao what
Its weird, none of Freddie's scandals affect my opinion on his music. I still really enjoy his catalog. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
it ain’t just you. freddie is too dope a rapper for all this extra shit to stop me from bumping his music
It's not just you 💪
i agree. Seperate the man from the music. As long as he keeps putting out quality hits, i dont care about drama in his personal life
you have the ability to seperate the art from the artist
If he lost the fame today he would still have the art. Piñata is a certified hood classic. Honestly I don’t care about his rep outside of hip hop because it doesn’t matter, and he hasn’t even done anything egregious. His art is inspiring.
People acting like Freddie didn’t make bandana, piñata, and Alfredo
Freddie made two classics with Madlib last decade, its annoying he let the trolling and beef overshadow his rap career
I agree but that shit he said about DOOM I hope was a joke he's lacking he didn't get his ass beat by king ghidra 😂
2 in a decade ain’t nothing to brag about
What fall? He's recently had a grammy nomination, a sold out tour, appeared on the biggest podcast in America multiple times, released his major label debut, and made many best albums of 2022 list. Objectively his career has never been better!
The Ja Morant of the rap game, crashing out for no damn reason.
It don’t make any sense😂 ever since the random Benny beef, we were robbed of a collab album because of it smh.
Even the Jeezy shit.. Don't make sense
@JuKe Jones what? How many years late are you?
@@jukejones7594 bro that one made total sense. they fell out bc Freddie hated Jeezy's label. but Freddie mocking Benny the Butcher getting hit up when he'd done numerous songs with Griselda is just some cornball shit.
@@droomzy The beef originally stemmed from Westside Gunn and Gibbs manager and slowly got worse from there. Unnecessary situation at the end of the day.
imagine calling 19 other men to take on 1 man. and then needing weapons on top of it.
Bricks aren't weapons.
@@itsme3k u can use a brick as a weapon. did u know that?
Imaging only deploying one soldier out to war. That's how these people see it. If you wanted petty honor so much you should've just been born in Sengoku Era Japan.
@@itsme3klmao anything is a weapon
@@user-vp6cq4sv3dguess cowardice is the name of the game, and men have no honour
Akademiks rallying against “fake” gangsters in hip hop is laughable, bro championed wannabe tough guys for years. Freddie’s issues aside, Ak is a horrible character.
Yeah he even comes off as jealous or petty, he a d1 meat rider in all definitions
Back to me feat. Freddie Gibbs. He's back big time.
Musically he’s still doing great, but ever since the Benny beef it’s been looking bad for Spreadrick
Just came here to say Freddie Gibbs did not fall off that man is fire and will continue to be fire, have a blessed day
Facts this fool tripping
UA-cam content creators gotta create content that gets views. That’s all this is
The only L Freddie has took was lying to a pronstar and telling her he wanted her to have his babies and start a family with her. That and being known as "Spreadie Gibbs" which is so funny I can't even say that with a straight face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy is tripping 😭 of course he's not mainstream so there's no fall off. He still puts out heat with or without madlib. Let him put out another album before you start talking
Facts , bro keeps on spitting heat , he ain’t fall off , he’s too consistent
Nah no way freddie gonna fall off too much was played on mainstream radio he good.
Sucks to see man, he's one of the best rappers out rn, but the way he acting and the way Destini exposed him, it just kills the image he trynna portray. Hope he matures and comes out of it humbly, and not escalate his situation.
Ain't nothing gone happen he still gone be making music if ppl still buying Yeezy's 😂 Freddie is good
freddie a great rapper tho, plus he has madlib on his side, his shits always gonna be good
@@imperialstats lol comparing heights Kanye reached with Freddie is about dumbest shit I’ve heard all my life. Freddie’s best album couldn’t even sell 50k first week
@@davidawonaike1188 it aint got shit to do with sells fool
@@davidawonaike1188it aint bout sells pussy. Foh. Freddie got 3 classic albums. If u dont like real rap say that
I guess we'll have to wait for his next album and see where it takes him. Always gotta let the music speak for itself.
I never liked his trolling, but I still think he's one of the best to ever do it
Freddie got jumped and still preformed in buff that night. Thats hard.
Freddie still comming up with each album he drops. Infact i think griseldas momentum has slowed since then.
I still listen to Freddie's music time from time, but messing around with that corn star was a pretty DUMB move. Like come on man!🤦🏽♂️
As an artist, this man takes all the W's. Flawless rapper, flawless flow, unbelievable story telling and certificated bangers. But he does takes L's alot. As a huge fan of Freddie, his music is legendary. So really, why does it matter what he does outside of music?
Facts
i love freddie but he seems to be going the ‘The Game’ route
I don't think any of this stuff has lost him 1 fan or hurt his pockets at all
I keep thinking over and over about Insecurities from Shadow of a Doubt. It's so sad seeing Freddie struggle with hurting himself and others for the sake of attention. Acknowledging awareness of it since 2015 yet not changing. Progress isn't linear and making mistakes is part of being human but it brings into question what is he doing if anything to correct things.
I still love freddie gibbs he a cool dude not like he is evil or anything
Crazy how women can just openly slander men for the smallest of things these days.
we've been so conditioned to jump from content to content as consumers that internet bullshit beefs don't affect artists that much anymore. Especially if the music is still good. Freddie hasn't missed yet for a long time musically. he'll still have a fanbase if that stays the same.
This whole piece reeks of desperation. Yeah, keeping Benny's name in his mouth like that probably wasn't a good idea, and he shouldn't have gone out on his turf after that, but Gibbs's actions in that physical confrontation were what anyone would've done in his shoes. He's still a man. The DJ Akademiks and Destini stuff is just petty.
One of the best rappers of this era.... I hope homie finds peace
He is close to jadakiss. In talent. A real lyricist and spitter. Honestly he is bwtter than royce 5'9 and would light thw world on fire if he was friendz with eminem
A lot of haters that bump skinny jean rappers just looking for any reason to dump on Freddie instead of giving credit for being a dope rapper. Especially DJ Wackademiks a hating immigrant that platforms the wackest rappers.
Kanye and Isaiah Rashad still got a career Freddie will be just fine 😂😂😂
What's with Isaiah Rashad?
@@OnlineHipHopTV he played the fluie
Freddie Gibbs is one of my favorite rappers ever but there's some truth to what Akademiks said. None of these rappers moved weight on the level of an Al Capone or Pablo Escobar, if anyone actually believes everything they're rapping about to be true they're dumb. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy their music. Who's out here watching John Wick and thinking Keanu could actually take out a room full of professional killers on his own? This sort of defamation is pointless and dangerous, you know what happens when rappers actually try to really be about their raps? They lose their lives or end up in prison. This shit is stupid.
Facts. Al Capone was born in the old times of 1899 and Pablo Escobar was also a pre-intermet, 70-90's, CIA & DOD protected, South American drug Lord with a regime. Big difference
Akademiks' face when he was talking to Freddie's baby mom geeked me bro lmao 😂 that man is a corn-ball 💀
Freddies a dope artist.
Bro holding Indiana down.
Umm…Freddie has not fallen off to me he just hasn’t sold out.
Someone tell Ak that’s not how stethoscopes work lmfao
I just like his music.
The dude literally is still high on top even with all the shenanigans
Freddie one of the most consistent rappers right now. Last 3 albums were great. He is in no way falling off.
Too many mfs worried about rapper’s personal lives. Freddie makes greats songs and even greater albums, why cant we leave it at that? Saying he fell off is egregiously misleading and damn near false.
Greatest marketing of all time. The next album is probably gonna be deeply personal
Never on schedule, always on time. Ma Nxgga!!!
Yessirr 🔥
It just sounds like Destini wanted all the wrong things in a guy. She wants a bad boy who can't show their emotions and supposedly can "protect her." Basically the male stereotype. but from what does she need that kind of protection from? If you weren't into anything bad, you wouldn't need the kind of protection she's asking for. I don't know why people can't just have a normal life. Don't start complaining when you start shit or know for a fact you're with someone who starts shit. I'm not saying Freddie shouldn't watch what he says or does, but at the same time you should know what you're getting into. She's too old to be acting like a highschooler.
She don't cook either 💀
His fanbase doesn't care about much outside of his musical output. If it stays strong, he'll probably be fine
Weren't we just saying his last album '$oul $old $eparately' was Album of the Year?
Hell nah weakest album in his discography
@@nolajets6382 🧢
$$$ and It's Almost Dry were the best two of 2022
@@AW-jl1tj Bruh you ain’t gotta cap for Freddie lmao. There were atleast 10 rap albums last year better than SSS (including it’s almost dry).
Internet made him blow up once he established his funny side online. Same thing made the fake fans say he fell of bc of all the hoopla. All that aside Gibbs pen game cold asf. Way better then most rappers. I need a jcol /gibbs track
His girl doing porn while being pregnant is the more crazy than this Freddie Gibbs shit😭
Freddie need to focus on the music
Freddie won't ever fall off if he still make fire albums
I don’t care about the bs. Just keep making music because for me over the past decade I feel Freddie brought something back to hiphop. He’s very talented. His tiny desk performance is one of my faves.
It's not his first time in a situation like this, and surely not his last. He has already come back from worst situations around 2017 and since then he has been as consistent as possible with Bandana, Alfredo and so on. Fake or not it doesn't matter now, this ain't the 90s to be fact-checking if someone sold snow or if he's fronting about it.
always dropping good ass content appreciate u bro all love
Appreciate that 🙏❤️
Dude is the Rick Ross of this generation
Making good music knowing his street rep was probably not what it seems
He gotta hit rick ross up and get his rep back
They buddies already
He most definitely isn’t falling off, even tho $$$ wasn’t his best. But you can’t deny that this dude doesn’t burn his own bridges. Most upsetting one is his friendship with Griselda
Music is more important for a music artists career than any street cred on earth.
Not when you consider yourself a one of the “realest gangsta rappers” like spready tried to portray
Not if they pretend to be gangster. He's fake as fuck
He been rapping like that since late 2000s and the 10s
Freddie got what he wanted
All the smoke and he got slapped around
i’m loving this comment section! Freddie has a loyal fan base
It's because it's a genuine fanbase. Real rap fans recognize real art in the rap game, Freddie is quality in this day and age where so many mid and bad rappers dilute the space.
@@Flyhr facts i agree, and i will continue to bump his albums
He just needs to drop another fire album, hopefully with Madlib or Alc. Stay up Fred
Music is always 🔥I might not agree on his personal decisions but they have nothing to do with me 😂 we just want the music
I don't care about anyone's drama. All this stuff is dumb. These are grown men acting like children.
But don't say anyone who gets robbed can't talk like they're tough. Some of us retaliated, some of us smoked the person who robbed us, some of us took action. This man got robbed and beat multiple times : *did nothing* , yet still talks tough.
**Abide by the standards you set.** Don't talk like you're tough then act like a civilian. JUST BE A CIVILIAN. There is nothing wrong with that. But all of you ignoring the fact of his fakeness is crazy. People talk wild on the internet like they're tough, then it goes down, and all of a sudden everything they said is forgotten.
Freddie Gibbs is one of my favorite rappers but I can’t defend his antics and where his image is now. Now, I will say this about what Akademiks said; Fred’s father was a cop in Gary, IN and that city is very poor. Freddie said in previous songs his father was a cop but he sold drugs on the side because it didn’t pay much. Allegedly the fights weren’t 1 on 1’s, to my understanding he was jumped but if you BVL you gotta have yo gang riding for you, so it does make me question his gang ties and validity. Freddie never used to do all of this lame stuff until he started becoming more popular, so it seems all the fame went to his head. He’s always trying to be funny on social media, which a lot of times it is funny but you made a joke out of Benny’s situation and that was a serious incident. As far as Akademiks goes, he can’t call anybody soft or anything because Vic Mensa sat right next to him, called him a b!tch and he did nothing. Good video.
*spreadie
@@ashleyyoung1978 they call him spreadie cuz he shits on the game 😤
Let’s do the math. Benny got shot in 2020 of November. Gibbs wrote that status almost a year later. How did Benny think it was about him. So many rappers got shot in that year. I think everybody jumped the gun on it. Benny was mad and Gibbs didn’t care. I think it was a big misunderstanding.
It’s crazy she did that interview right before she did a XXX scene in that same van 😂
Right !?!?
20 men against one and they still couldn't knock him out 😂
Just because a 3 IQ teletubby DJ is trying to ride his career for clout, doesn’t mean Freddie has fallen. The man has put out classic after classic with great beats and rhymes.
GIBBS IS GOD. This dude has not fallen off at all. Hip hop madness enjoy my one view.
He hasn’t fallen off though, he’s stayed consistently as popular, if not more popular than he’s ever been and the music is still great. What’s shown in this video is just some adversity he’s gone through. But I don’t think any of that has gone to the point of ruining his loyal fanbase he’s built.
Idk Bandana & Alfredo solidified him as a legend in rap
I love Alfredo
I’ll still listen to his music he has mad talent idc
Freddie Gibbs still official in my book.
Sheee, good video, man! In Brazil we dont get to access this kind of "gossip", im a huge fan of Freddie, his music is fire, lets hope that this "downfall" open his music to another level, a level that dont need to portrait a gangsta image, lets find if he can do that at all. None the less, im listening to "crime pays" with other ears.
PS: i remember this beef with Dj Akademiks in 2020, shit was funny as hell. Recently i've watched a video with him and another dude who question why he calls himself DJ, despite the fact that we never see him DJing, his face was priceless. Who is this dude (akademiks)? His relevance out of the US is close to nothing.
There are obviously mad Freddie Gibbs bots in these comments, bro, sad.
🤣🤣🤣 man I'm reading this shit in disbelief dude really trynna cover his tracks
super sad. they think we can't tell 🤣
"Vice lord, coke rapper, gangster, someone that I could always feel protected with and trust" 💀💀💀💀
Never heard a single person say anything bad about Freddie till this video
Akademics would die to make some art.
Pusha T one of the best rappers around. He made a persona as well. Honestly we don’t care as long as the music is straight up quality. Freddie’s only dropping consistent quality.
Always people try to hate a beautiful brother in rap game
Freddie Gibbs has been the best hip hop artist for the past decade. He was jumped on by 20+ clowns in their town and later did a sold out show in their town. Now a porn broad says she pays his phone bill and he’s down bad. Come on
Freddie will never fall
Personality wise yeah dude's trolling attitude has def bit him in the ass, His image has taken a hit, But musically in no way has he fallen off, Dude has 2, Arguably 3 classic albums in his discography, Always been consistent in that aspect, I'd wait till when he actually drops a bad album to say he's fallen off.
Love Freddies music, he's got a lot of talent. Man just needs to stop clout chasin and starting beefs. That shit might get you some temporary attention but that's not how you have a long term career in hip hop.
he's always been clout chasing because he can't really rap for shit. He makes music for white kids that don't know no better and enjoy corny coon antics. Dude's flow is dull as f*ck, his beats are lifeless and his music as a whole is generic. No real charm or soul.
You got it out the mud butt sent me 😂
Man Freddie got multiple classic projects …. Freddie could never fall off y’all wild 😂
What made me stop liking Freddie was the comments towards Curren$y like most ppl
Curren$y gets too high for his own good. Didn't promote the joint album with Gibbs.
My buddy went to his concert once. Waited 2 hours and then curren$y posts a pic of himself eating chicken wings in some other city
Wtf 😂😂😂
@@RealAmericanStar imma need you to go and find the other side to the story cause you only hear Freddie’s.
How did he fall off? He is on Kanye Album and he and Madlib are dropping an album?!?
I still listen to Freddie what are we talking about here
I knew somebody just like Freddie. Never trust a word they say and they're always on something. Not surprised. 1985 is still one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't follow any of this social media drama so all this is, is some fun facts. It doesn't effect the music for me.
Freddie didn’t fall off he literally got a Grammy nom for a collab album with one of the best producers and is critically and commercially acclaimed every project he drops
That was before this shit went down.
I don’t care if he’s an actor - the music and flow and rhymes speak for themselves. He’s the best out today. He’s also got star quality. He’s anything but fell off. People will be listening to him for years and years to come
Freddie ain't fell, man still releasing HEAT. he's become a cult rapper. one of these guys that got his public with him till the end.
he don't matter the hype, he's always gonna have his public
Yall can draw what you want from this. But dont get it twisted he's one of the hardest rappers out RN. He was snubbed the Grammy with Alfredo.
