Production. Not a big fan of gangster rappers, but Freddie is pretty much the only one I listen to from that sub genre because he worked with alchemist and madlib. He’s also not a one dimensional lyrical miracle spiritual rapper. He has trap slappers, chill songs, sad songs. I appreciate variation so that’s another plus he has. His lyrical ability is okay for his genre and style but his rhythm is one of the best in the game. He’s pretty much mastered the fast choppy flow and abuses it often but still somehow it works most of the times which is credit to how good he is at it
Good flows, very charismatic on the mic, great beat selection, he can rap on anything. I’m also a sucker for Coke rap. He can rap about the same shit for his whole career and it’s amazing every time.
For me, it’s the technical abilities.
He flows on beats effortlessly and find pockets like no other. He’s one of the few rappers who can rap over an Alchemist beat, then the next song he’s on a Young Chop beat and it sounds just a good. Right after that he’s on a Kenny or Conductor beat and still never slowed down.
Then it’s the bars. He has the best Basketball/NBA lines I’ve ever heard. His cocaine raps are rivaled only by Pusha T and Andre Nickatina.
He’s funny af. A literal comedian who keeps thoroughly me entertained each and every project.
And the body of work. He has such an extensive and consistent discography. He’s been rapping at a GOAT level since 2009.
Gangsta Gibbs ho. 2 bitches cookin in the crib ho.
A quarter kilo and some kool-aid in the fridge ho.
He’s also pretty diverse with the concepts of his albums, like Freddie, The Madlib albums of course, but also Fetti and You Only Live 2wice.
He’s one of the few modern rappers I think that grows and adapts his style.
He’s been on my radar since his early mixtapes like The Labels Trying To Kill Me and The Miseducation.
Still love that oldschool raw uncut Gibbs like The Empire Strikes Back track.
Gibbs is great. Pinata with Madlib was the first album I heard of his and it was superb. Since that album, I became a fan and have picked up every album since. He has a great voice for rap and he's able to switch up his flow when necessary. I would love to hear him over some Dr Dre beats. But anyway, always looking forward to his next project.
Hes in my all time top 3 for sure.
His lyrics are often dark and vulgar which is attractive to me, because he has no filter on sharing what hes seen and experienced in his lifetime.
I feel like the core of hiphop is speaking up on struggles and giving a piece of your mind.
Then there’s his delivery of those lyrics, his deep voice and energy are amazing.
He probably have the best flow of all time and he is funny, honest and have a lotta humor for sure in my current top 3. I hope he will start making music again we need Alfredo 2
He's def slept on. His old shyt with curren$y will always slap. Also when he did something to rap about with Tyler the creator showed his style can mesh with even the most oddball rap
I saw him live and he just has so much charisma and seems like he’s having a good time. His goofy personality makes his whole coke rap persona a lot more fun
Love Freddie but I actually don’t think he’s too lyrical. What makes him stand out is how iconic his voice is. It’s a gift from god. When your voice sounds that cool, you’re automatically gonna bring something to the table not a lot can. His flow is incredible and pretty versatile considering his lyrics aren’t too heady
Freddie is one of my favorites! For me, he’s the perfect juxtaposition of hard and soft. His barbecue sauce voice over the softer melodic beats is just everything to me!!! Ugh I love him!!!!

Plus, he does that melodic, Bone Thugs-esq flow nicely.
I’m a sucker for cocaine rap he’s one of the best of the modern era to do it
Gibbs ooze confidence and realness. Thuggin is still one of the hardest track I ever listened. He can ride any beat and murder it pretty easily.
The best for me
More than Raekwon Ghostface Pusha T?
I like Pusha but Freddie has more diversity with flow. And I consider Rae and Ghost more old school even if they’re still releasing
Can't blame you. 94 was 20 years ago, they're old school legends. Gangsta Gibbs is good at coke rap that's for sure.
'94 was 30 years ago my dude.
😫written before my coffee, thanks G
Honest mistake. I wish it was 20 years ago. Lol
Oh same here.
What? Do you mean why do I also like him?
Yes
Good flows, very charismatic on the mic, great beat selection, he can rap on anything. I’m also a sucker for Coke rap. He can rap about the same shit for his whole career and it’s amazing every time.
Great smooth vocal and amazing flow. One of the best living rappers when it comes to that
Yeah I don’t often like that kinda choppy flow but it works with his deep voice
What choppy flow?
His flow is incredible. His body of work is great. Hes the real deal and my fav current rapper forsure.
He has a top 3 voice in hiphop for me. That voice combined with his flow and the production is just perfect.
For me, it’s the technical abilities. He flows on beats effortlessly and find pockets like no other.

A quarter kilo and some kool-aid in the fridge ho.
His voice is distinctive, his flow is top-tier, and he works with producers that complement his skills. He's my personal favorite rapper.
Eh
Really compelling point you made, currently rethinking whether or not Freddie Gibbs is as fire as I thought he was.
Ehhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Fr though gibbs is so boring all he does is talk about selling cocaine that gets boring fast
You know you can listen to him in moderation right
His songs aren't replayable
I need to listen to more by him. Gold Rings is one of my favorites at the moment
He reminds me of Krayzie Bone so much
Freddie's flow and his beats are hype as fuck
Freddie is a pretty good actor. He was really good in Iron Man 2.
He’s also pretty diverse with the concepts of his albums, like Freddie, The Madlib albums of course, but also Fetti and You Only Live 2wice. He’s one of the few modern rappers I think that grows and adapts his style. He’s been on my radar since his early mixtapes like The Labels Trying To Kill Me and The Miseducation.

Pinata is a 10 for me
Hes in my all time top 3 for sure. His lyrics are often dark and vulgar which is attractive to me, because he has no filter on sharing what hes seen and experienced in his lifetime. I feel like the core of hiphop is speaking up on struggles and giving a piece of your mind. Then there’s his delivery of those lyrics, his deep voice and energy are amazing.
Exactly!
He probably have the best flow of all time and he is funny, honest and have a lotta humor for sure in my current top 3. I hope he will start making music again we need Alfredo 2
He's the total package. Voice, flow, pen, creativity, humour. His ear for beats is greater than everyone else too.
He's def slept on. His old shyt with curren$y will always slap. Also when he did something to rap about with Tyler the creator showed his style can mesh with even the most oddball rap
I think You Only Live 2wice is a modern classic
Dark hearted is an anthem. I don’t care what anyone says.
Rabbit Vision, PYS, and Dark Hearted is an ansanely good 3 track run
Watching him rap his own shit live, and actually rapping it without anyone helping him out.
I saw him live and he just has so much charisma and seems like he’s having a good time. His goofy personality makes his whole coke rap persona a lot more fun
Benny the butcher for me. I like Freddie too though, sucks they had that fall out.
Love Freddie but I actually don’t think he’s too lyrical. What makes him stand out is how iconic his voice is. It’s a gift from god. When your voice sounds that cool, you’re automatically gonna bring something to the table not a lot can. His flow is incredible and pretty versatile considering his lyrics aren’t too heady
Beat selection and diverse flows
Freddie is one of my favorites! For me, he’s the perfect juxtaposition of hard and soft. His barbecue sauce voice over the softer melodic beats is just everything to me!!! Ugh I love him!!!!
Inventive, great beats and collabs, flows, bars and rhyme schemes. Ages like wine, very consistent discography
