any Freddie Gibbs verse it becomes abundantly
clear that he holds his tongue for no one and
voiced his opinions recently on Chicago's 107.5
WGCI's "The Morning Riot" show.

Police Brutality]
The former Corporate Thugz Entertainment artist
spoke on his former boss, Young Jeezy's inability
to help promote:
"I felt like I was wasting time pushing someone
else's brand when I could push my own and do my
own thing. Because that's was what he was
concerned with, pushing Jeezy. So I gotta be
concerned with pushing Gibbs."]
Gangsta Gibbs also hints at financial improprieties
on Jeezy's part as an additional catalyst to his
departure. "So since we not in the street," the
Baby Face Killa MC says "you feel like you can
play with my money on this Rap side and there
ain't gon' be no repercussions?" Gibbs signed to
the CTE label in 2011 after a string of critically
acclaimed buzzworthy mixtapes such as 2009′s
now-ironic The Labels Tryin' To Kill Me and 2010′s
St8 Killa No Filla.
The Gary, Indiana native also took offense to T.I.'s
recent comments in The Source about how
gangsta rap is dying. Gibbs states he "totally
disagrees" with T.I.'s statement and questions his
true appreciation for the gangsta rap artform:
I think guys like him are supposed to be the
staples of this gangsta rap. If you keep saying it's
dead, it's dead, it's dead, then you're going to let
it die. You grew up on it, so how you gonna say
something's dead when you grew up on it?

While Jeezy and T.I. get their share of Gibbs vitriol,
but it's the Maybach Music Group head honcho
who gets the brunt of his tirade. When asked
about Rick Ross' recent shooting, Gibbs jokingly
asked "did he got shot at" before explaining his
backhanded concern for Rozay's health after the
shooting:
"I really don't want to see none of these guys get
murdered because I don't want to see them jump
to legend status. It seems like when you die, all of
a sudden, 'He's the greatest of all time.' … I don't
think a bullet should buy you that — I think a
bullet has buying a lot of guys street credibility
and I don't think a bullet should buy you that."
Gibbs' discontent with Ross dates back to a 2010
interview with Complex where he accused the God
Forgives, I Don't MC of "bold face lying on
records."
The unsigned free agent is gearing up for a
productive 2013. In addition to his long-awaited
collaborative album with Madlib, Cocaine
Pinata, he also plans on releasing a mixtape
entitled Eastside Slim and an album tentatively
titled Necktie Party.
