Gangsta Gibbs tells MTV that he followed 50 Cent’s mixtape hustle to get signed to Interscope Records in 2005. Unfortunately he was dropped two years later.
“I locked myself on the fourth floor of Interscope — there wasn’t no development, there was nobody telling me what to do, how to write hooks. Every lyric came from me, every concept, just a depiction on my life,” he explained. “There was no telling me how to do this, proper etiquette — there was no artist development at all. That was something I had to take upon myself and do on my own. My time over there wasn’t a total waste; it made me a smarter businessman.”
Live and learn, my G.
The way he starts cheesing real big from 00:06 till 00:10 and suddenly changes to being serious – CLASSIC. Had a good laugh.
On the real, though.
Freddie Gibbs is dope.
Wish him much success.
I took him up to the office to sign his deal, he was in the valley at that time……Im glad he stayed on the grind….best of luck GIBBS!
Freddie Gibbs is killing it!
