Freddie Gibbs Calls DJ Khaled's Music 'Garbage,' Rick Ross' Music 'Bold-Face Lies'
By Allen Starbruy ♦ Published 07/30/2010

Freddie GibbsRising Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs is known for speaking his mind, even if someone else ain't feelin' it. Hey, it's his opinion right? And, he's entitled to it.

Most recently, he expressed his distaste for rapper Rick Ross and DJ Khaled, saying he feels both should take it down a notch.

Gibbs gave his opinion in a Twitter rant (@FreddieGibbs), calling out overzealous DJs, saying: "Much love to all the real DJs in the game. To all the ones that be tryin to rap and be diddy eat a d***."

When asked by Complex.com who he was talking about, the rapper didn't shy away from answering, specifically naming Khaled.

"Specifically I was talking about DJ Khaled, if people wanna know," Gibbs tweeted. "I don't like what he's doing rapping on records and sh** like that, but you know, to each his own. I'm not taking away nothing that he did in the game or the success that he's had, 'cause he's done his thing and made bread, but I just think that so many n****s are making a mockery of this rap game right now.

"It's like, real MCs doing they thang, putting this real shit down, real lyrics, and can't get breathing room 'cause you got f*** sh** like that. I think that sh** is garbage. I don't like what that sh** stand for."

Gibbs later expressed his opinion on Rick Ross with Complex. While he admitted that the Miami rapper's music is good, he says he simply can't get over the fact that he rhymes about a lifestyle he allegedly never lived.

"[Rick Ross] makes good records, but I just can't support no bold-faced lying on records," Gibbs said. "I guess he's entertaining people. It's like a movie, like 'Scarface.' He can have that fake lane. I'll stay in the real lane. We got a non-fiction lane of rap, that's how I'm looking at it now. So you got that fiction lane over there where they're doing all them. I do the non-fiction, the autobiography, the real sh**."

Despite how it sounds, the Indiana rapper says he has no beef with either Ross, nor Khaled. To Gibbs, he's just stating his opinion about their music.

"I don't have no beef with no rappers," Gibbs tweeted. "Just cuz I say don't feel a n**** music don't mean I got beef wit him. Get off the WWF sh**."

Freddie Gibbs is set to drop a new EP next week, called Str8 Killa. It features production from DJ Burn One, Block Beattaz and Blended Babies, among others, and appearances by Chuck Inglish, Bun B, Jay Rock and more.

It drops August 3rd.

Rick Ross took da REAL RICKY ROSS LIFE AND IS MAKING A CAREER OUT OF IT!! And we got RADIO AND BET TO THANK 4 IT!! He's right. Nas,Rakim,Kane,Cube CANT GET A SPIN ON RADIO,BUT I GOTTA LISTEN 2 THIS MOVIE DRUG DEALER ALL DAY LONG!! Sometimes i wish HIP HOP would DIE LIKE WHITE FOLK WANT it TO!!

  • sirtheboss

    I agree. Too much fake kingpen rap and mix tape DJ's screaming catchy phrases and hooks. Not enuff realness in the game. I remember back in the 2 Pac and Biggie day, you couldn't talk about something you didn't live. I guess these major labels are just marketing the hell out of entertainers who make up fiction raps, mixed with good beats, and children story hooks nowaday. God Bless this next generation of rap: tight jeans and shirts, before you know it gay rappers will be the next big thing.

  • http://n/a Original DfDubb

    WHAT HE'S SAYING IS REAL, AND TRUE FANS OF REAL RAP GOTTA FEEL IT. IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER WHAT A RAPPER IS TALKING ABOUT, JUST BE REAL. JUST TIRED OF HEARING THESE FAKE CATS WRITING ABOUT A LIFE & SITUATIONS THEY HAVE NEVER LIVED.

  • kjell

    Smh at people listning to rick ross... Even if pam anderson sounds good on wax - i aint gonna listen to her rapping about being rich of coke...

  • http://n/a Original DfDubb

    TO THE KAT ASKING WHY WE CONCERN OURSELVES WITH OTHER NIGGAZ RAPS...OR DENZEL...OR WHATEVER THIS GUY WAS TRYING TO DROP. THE REASON IS BEKUZ PEOPLE "FEEL" & ARE DRAWN TOWARDS MUSIC THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO!!! WHETHER IT BE RAP, COUNTRY, ALTERNATIVE...WHATEVER. NO ONE IS UP ALL NIGHT CONCERNED WITH A RAPPERS PAST OR PERSONAL LIFE, BUT PEOPLE GENERALLY APRECIATE IT MORE WHEN AN ARTIST IS REAL WITH HIS FANS THROUGH HIS ART. AND ARTISTS WILL ALWAYS BE LABELED FAKE WHEN THEY AREN'T. OK, LETS SWITCH PROFESSIONS....DO PEOPLE STIL APPRECIATE BARRY BONDS BALL PLAYING ABILITIES?? EXCATLY.

  • http://iamsoze.blogspot.com/ VENGEANCE IS MINE!!!!

  • captin california

  • http://thetonygrands.wordpress.com Tony Grands™

    Y'all cats should peep that 'Str8 Killa, No Filla' Freddie Gibbs Mixtape...

    http://thetonygrands.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/leakin-freddie-gibbs-str8-killa-no-filla-mixtape/

    That shit snaps...

    I agree, it's only entertainment, which is funny, because GI Fred is dead serious in his candor & aura. That fact that he's 100% authentic is entertainment itself. Read the whole interview @ Complex.Com & you'll see what I mean. Dude is a breath of fresh air in rap music.

    Los Angeles supports Freddie Gibbs!

  • http://thetonygrands.wordpress.com Tony Grands™

    Oh, I don't mean "fresh air" in a superlyrical, "King Kong ain't got nothin' on me!" type of way. I mean in regards to his honesty, which doesn't come off contrived & forced. Kind of like how 50 Cent is much more entertaining in real life than his songs. That "it" factor is what makes stars nowadays.

  • flipa

    this nigga keepin it real speakin his mine on these fake fools khaled a square nigga that talks black that sags and rick ross is a ex popo he knows how ballers roll he use to read there paperwork freddie gibbs stand up

  • http://www.makeyourhit.com Ric

    Ya I'm getting tired of that We the Best Shit that Khaled always says. That shit is just annoying.

  • James Mcneil

    Good point....Never heard of him but somebody gotta' knock these clowns off their pedestals......

  • http://cdbaby.com/jsmoothrap J-SMOOTH

    SPOKEN LIKE A REAL NIGGA

  • http://www.adcdf.com munny

    AT George's comments. Pac and Big were both real nigz man.

    The difference is.... wait for it.. oh here we go.. ROSS isnt

  • G5

    I agree with Gibbs and fuck all you niggaz on here talking about it's just entertainment because that's why the game is fucked up now. Rappers want to have their cake and eat it too. It's all real until they get they head bust then their crying about it being entertainment and just music. Fuck that. You can't talk about living a life that someone actually put their life on the line for and expect them to accept that. I'm sure soldiers in Iraq would be pissed someone came out rapping about how they were a general and saved 90 lives in the war and really was a fucking office secretary at the VA. Get the fuck outta here.

  • G5

    Oh yeah, and to the nigga talking about Pac and Biggie. They were both real niggaz. Pac wasn't afraid of shit which is a big reason why he was killed because he didn't know when to stop. Having no fear can be a negative thing sometimes and Biggie was a real nigga too that used to sell drugs and all that shit. The difference is that neither one of them were talking about being the biggest drug dealer, best hit man, biggest gang leader or the reincarnation of Larry Hoover. You can be real and rap about being a petty thief if that's what it is. All you niggaz that respect that fuck shit are really saying something about yourselves and your character anyway so it is what it is.

  • http://none Zasman

    Gibbs isnt lying, hes being real. Rappers dont lie in their music but some do. Why do you think Pac/Biggie/Proof were shot dead? A FEW of them are thugs, just look at DMX, Boosie. Hiphop was always about lyrics, beats and turntables. Now its all about cash, hoes and material shit. Dont be fooled, hiphop is open to any voice, whether religious or sensible content.

  • Annonymous Weed Blower

    what are you talking about? B.I.G used to call himself "The Black Frank White"...........

    you kids & your internet ways nowdays, I tell ya.
