"I'm scaring you with my real life." | Freddie Gibbs gets emotional about his Rap Career

[@swill1317]

“Beggin’ the lord to heal me but I’m loyal to what’s gon kill me/ if I switch it up, changin’ my message then they ain’t gon feel me” Freddie Gibbs-Steel Doors

[@h.o.thustlersontop9208]

[@ChiBoogie76]

The dopest song on this album

[@cSTEPHEN855]

What he’s saying is coming from a genuine and vulnerable place and I appreciate it. The authenticity in his music always was apparent to me, I hope he finds peace.

[@Neo-ti2rz]

His dad was a Cop. He's a fraud😂😂😂

[@sneakyalien]

​@@Neo-ti2rz I'd rather one of my favorite "artists" be a fraud sharing messages from the streets, rather than be actually running in the streets.

[@supadreamy7561]

@@Neo-ti2rzlots of cops be more G’d up than gangsters, if ykyk, and this ain’t on no training day shit, it’s real if you’ve been around watching life you’d witness it

[@R.A.M.10]

​@@Neo-ti2rzbroke ninja, we all had someone in our family who might've been a teacher, a church elder, cop, whatever...that don't mean that you can't be drawn into certain things. We all know them kind of stories. Half of us lived them for real. Getting asked questions like, what would granny say if she saw you...but still being washed into things that you never meant to really go the ways that they did. It's always some squared out chicken strip who wants to get all sanctimonious & righteous on somebody.

[@coryfield-l1v]

He not a fraud he got songs talking about his dad being a cop! If you in a gang and yo pops a cop how does that make you a fraud???​@@Neo-ti2rz

[@TonyMac183]

I respect Gibbs for him speaking on this a lot of rappers don’t admit these type of things.

[@emceetv101]

Idk if Freddie realize how much truth to power he's speaking into existence just by being honest and vulnerable right here.

[@stillfeelme]

PTSD bruh… I really hope for his healing regardless of his music career. Listen to your body Freddy, you deserve peace.

[@karimd88]

“I can’t hold no grudges, my hands is too busy catching blessings”🤲🏽🙏🏽

[@jackjack4412]

​@@karimd88 that means he would (possibly) hold grudges if his hands were empty

[@gthreetimes]

Freddie if you read this, you are far more introspective and cerebral a writer than you are giving yourself credit for, so was scarface. I wrote a college final essay about I seen a man die

[@karimd88]

Word bro, tracks like Skinny Suge too. He goes so deep on that track. Tragic but beautiful

[@jacobe9187]

That’s why we all hear rs. That ish speaks volumes.

[@Sky-dz1gj]

You should write an essay about Now I Feel Ya because that's the realest shit Face ever wrote

[@khlyalda]

Fr? Thats 🔥 If possible, i would like to read it

[@MrOhioPlayer]

Exactly why he has the Rap Album of the year. Authentic and Talented. Keep going Freddie

[@shimmertroop1067]

Been a fan since the XXL cover. Freddie, you have like 1,000 flows and you've proven that you can jump out of the box as far as subject matter goes. You can do it!

[@deonjae4354]

yea he can whenever he’s actually ready to

Mannnn

[@michaelsenter2064]

Negativity sells. We all want to be happy, but it certainly doesn't look that way.

[@nicholasdipilla6993]

Negativity sells cause the mass is always looking for drama and violence cause they don't know better. I write rhymes about philosophy and spirituality and i know that's its gonna work out cause a lot of us are tired of this old world and we want to see changes. J.cole and kendrick are both succesful and yet they are poet with a conscience.

[@themettaphorce1]

Gibbs one of the greatest of all time.

[@Adrian-o5m]

I respect his honesty

[@stelbomber7483]

Gibbs’ a real one, real spill.

[@BilalMujahhid]

Freddie you have the gift of gab. You can rap about whatever tf you want bro! Real Talk! You could rap some conscious shit...we riding bro. pause

[@blaw860]

Confirmation that Freddie is one of the realest ever💯. I can't remember any other rapper speaking like he did here

[@maroonxx667]

We needed to hear this, Freddie. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully it was as therapeutic as your art is. We support your healing and transformation

[@dilesmoyle]

if you're reading this freddie, we'd love to hear you rap about going to college! rap about your babies, rap about your friends, rap about the things you love. you don't have to rap about all the negative things that have happened to you, it's okay to leave that in the past.

[@JRClark]

Freddie Gibbs album is hard 💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

[@Backinthedase]

he could rap about this talk, like make a song about how hard and painful it is to make his songs and why. would be some real shit.

[@professionaltrollkilla5965]

Yeah but that would be only one song

[@nauyv]

because it’s layers to the life that he grew up around and was contained in. institutionalized to some degree. he has to be real about who he is even with the growth, otherwise what’s the point?

[@zthegreat4538]

The shift is happening

[@charlesharring6398]

Respect for speaking the truth. Gibbs is a great rapper, style and delivery, change the content from death to life.

[@MichaelClemons00]

Freddie should release a record being authentic with how he’s grown as a person and changed his ways to who he is, true fans will tap in and respect your growth

[@junclassic]

We need more transparency like this. But i can only imagine what it took for Gibbs to get to this place.

[@o.t.russell974]

A Vice Lord speaking on Growth & Development. PML and respect! 🫡🫡

[@c-infinity]

I'm proud of Gibbs man. He is being sincere and real.👍

[@Booker.Z.Watching-tons]

It’s hard not to absolutely love tf out of gangsta Gibbs. You know who he is from his music. And you know he deserve better.

[@vincentgarland4182]

Bruh you are Super Talented, you can write about whatever you want, we make choices!!! Rap yo HEART!!!

[@U-inverse369]

True, show us what family and growth means. Stay present

[@Starkesea]

Everyone listen to cosmo freestyle by him. It honestly changed my life currently and set me back on straight headed and focused. He speaks to me in a way many other artists cannot

[@realmentnelson]

This was refreshing to hear. Maybe you should rap about what you talked about up there

[@rogerr472]

“God made me sell crack so I had something to rap about”

[@eternalyt5175]

Fav song

[@ericj9344]

The first lyric that came to mind while watching, dope song

[@midwestdolo818]

Dont be fearful bro be the change you wanna see Gibbs if the music is dope the positive message gonna make it even greater

Proud of you Bruh🤍Eastside of Gary, stand UP🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@OustandingTv]

Growth we change with our experience and surroundings

[@eberhardtschraubstock2222]

It's called personal evolution. He grew past his old circumstances an has set new values for himself. It can only be real if he shares this evolution of his morals, standards and themes.

[@professionaltrollkilla5965]

When he said on a his genius interview that you shouldn’t sell or do coke he just rap it because he lived it and it sounds cool I became a fan

[@henry_brown]

thank you for uploading this

[@FeastTheStoic]

Freddie top 10 for me. Keep doing what you do brutha. You ain’t gotta change shit.

[@mlou4902]

This came up while I was listening to Skinny Suge. A phenomenal artist and I hope he finds peace.

This is true for many more artists than people think.

[@TruthBombSoz]

Respect on your growth 🫡

[@PLANETROCKWELL]

Good for you bro. That's big for him to be able to admmit this and be this transparent. This needs to go viral

[@MarcoMorales-w6o]

Good Talk, I've only started to listen to Gibbs just a few years back on some of Curren$y's collabs and on Mix tape stuff.

[@naytelyfe]

Something to Rap about, not wanting to Rap about Shit 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@wheredhego47]

STRONG❤

[@Omowalemayasa]

I love seeing the growth..a far departure from the young man with the Ak hanging out in Russia

[@6CRAN]

This is all about growth and maturity. He has to pull deeper because he is so far removed from his former life. Your fans appreciate the vulnerability just like Ghostface, just like 2Pac. Real is rare.

[@Red_DiBiase]

Shout out to Freddie Gibbs✌🏾

[@Wowjustwow37]

I was blessed to first hear Freddie live when he played at LACMA with Madlib. I remember running around like crazy backstage to find him. When I found him his crew could tell I wasn’t a groupie and he gave me a huge hug. I was able to tell him what a star he is and how powerful the performance was. I’ll never forget that one. I was already grown, but my inner child took over and I had no fear!

[@cashshinobi]

Rap about what you feel now this is you now. Rap about where you at now rap about being a family man save your people bro. Your last album is fire fighting the devil. Keep going bro rap about the new you

[@EvoxityTalks]

This was beautiful

[@BeatEngine-qr7if]

Yep!! Hearing a pro like him say this makes me grateful I realized this before my 30s. All respect to Gibbs real MC

[@Redlegion.]

This nigga will forever be the goat to me. Thins nigga deserves WAY more flowers than he gets.

You cant do nothing but respect Gibbs

Great show salute Gibbs!!!!!

1 of My very favorite rapper

[@MattSwiftfreelance]

Freddie, thank you for sharing this. If you see any of these wonderful comments everybody dropped here, I think we hope you share that same vulnerability you showed on that stage on a track. Same shit you said up there is a song or maybe even an album. Shit man, go on a writer retreat to a log cabin til you come with something that satisfies you. 😂I But think if you’re talking like that, you have manifested a new chapter for yourself as a writer. The comments prove people would be here for it🙏🏻✊🏻✌🏻

[@Ericizlike]

Salute to gibbs.

[@cadollarsign6399]

[@AbsoluteZero336]

What he is saying is the problem I’m encountering in my music. I am way more cognizant of my music now than before.

[@satyarthsingh2276]

heal, brother, heal.

[@alanpage4075]

He should put his little brother being a doctor in his raps. Reality is reality. Tell the whole story

[@dirtybirdxx]

He's done that plenty of times. He speaks on both sides of his life. His dad being a ex cop and his mom being a mail lady

[@Greenvillian864]

He has. Even talked about helping him so he did not have to face wear big bro (him) did

[@coachmo2.0]

He's done it multiple times

[@FlamezEarlJonez]

He’s spoken on it several times

[@lindodalion]

Maturation 💪🏾🔥🚀

[@bradwhite1646]

If he don’t get album of the year this time everybody that’s passionate about rap needs to just walk away

[@ItsFreshDough]

Wise ⬆️

[@geraldfirme1213]

Let the LORD use you brother. GOD has a plan for you. Seek HIM

[@ogodisengselokela8571]

I love Pusha T but i need to hear this from him also.

[@noface5403]

freddie been one of my favorites and that's one of the reasons, he's different from most of the rappers out, he's way more introspective and vulnerable than he seems to think he is

[@FatherOmega]

I like Fred’s music with Madlib the most but I actually like his messages. It’s not glorified and he’s not bragging it’s pretty brutal and disgusting. Wouldn’t want to be like him at all but I respect his skill and him being candid.

[@392TheYoungOG]

Don’t ever feel bad about 7:09 telling your story!! You never put a gun to anyone head and told them listen to my music! We made a choice to listen to your art!!

[@percyhawkins5825]

This makes me understand steel doors so much more man. I hate that he feels scared to branch out because of the brand he’s built already. He’s Freddie cane aka gangsta Gibbs. Kinda hard to turn around after 20 years of rapping

[@databased1]

This title is sort of click baity and misleading. First I was like “Wooow, here’s ANOTHER rapper so caught up in being a badass he has to go to a interview/college to tell is all how scary he is.” - But watching it not only was I surprised by how vulnerable Gibbs is being here but he definitely isn’t even saying he’s “a scary rapper” or write “scary bars” per se but he uses “scaring” as an interchangeable term with “writing raps” or “telling stories” when making a comparison between his work and the work of an author like Stephen King. More people should see this side of Gibbs and realize how human and imperfect all your favorite rapping badasses really are.

[@h.o.thustlersontop9208]

Much Love to you Freddie I'm hear to listen to whatever tf it is you rapping about from college to cocaine. I'm from Dallas I just met a nigga at Quick Trip last night from Gary he heard me banging Steel Doors loud af he said "I hear you playing that Gibbs I'm from Gary" I gave that boy a hard dab like he was a long lost cousin! 😂

[@drewcaraballo6883]

don't be ashamed of your past and the music that came from it. makes sense with the devil narrative on YODO. Seems like a fight between what has been your life up until this point and what you feel is now morally correct. Either way YODO album of the year
