Fredrick Tipton was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, and grew up at 17th and Virginia St. on the city's east side. He played American football at Ball State University on an athletic scholarship but was eventually expelled from college. At the age of 19, he was enlisted into the U.S. Army as part of a pre-trial diversion program when he was on trial for theft and gun charges, but was dishonorably discharged only eight months later after being caught smoking marijuana.
He then began working at a Gary mall, where he met local hip hop producer Finger Roll, who, according to Gibbs, was "the only guy [in Gary] that had a studio." Gibbs then joined Finger Roll's No Tamin Entertainment crew and began pursuing a rap career.
On December 11, 2012, Gibbs announced that he was no longer a member of Young Jeezy's CTE label. He elaborated saying that there is no beef between the two rappers. On May 27, 2013, Freddie Gibbs announced he would be releasing his debut album ESGN (Evil Seeds Grow Naturally) on July 9, 2013 through his own record label of the same name. The album ended up being released on June 20, three weeks before the planned release date, due to a leak.
In September 2013, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib released the final EP from the Piñata previews trilogy, Deeper. Piñata was eventually released on March 18, 2014. The album received universal acclaim from music critics with a score of 82 on the review site Metacritic. It peaked at number 39 on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Top Rap Albums charts. On July 1, 2014, Gibbs, Young Thug, and ASAP Ferg released a single titled "Old English". It was produced by Salva and Nick Hook and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on July 23, 2020 for selling over 500,000 certified units. In October 2014, Gibbs and Madlib released their fourth EP, titled Knicks (Remix).
In March 2015, Gibbs released a three-track EP titled Pronto, which was followed up by his second solo studio album, Shadow of a Doubt, released on November 20, 2015.
On February 7, 2019, Madlib posted a picture of his cartoon alter-ego Quasimoto on Instagram with the cryptic caption "we are clearing samples ...", alluding to Bandana being finished recording. In the following months, Gibbs and Madlib officially confirmed the album, releasing four singles from it: "Flat Tummy Tea" on February 20, "Bandana", featuring Jamaican dancehall artist Assassin, on March 5, "Crime Pays" on May 30, and the final single "Giannis", featuring singer Anderson .Paak, on June 13. The album was released on June 28, 2019 through Keep Cool, RCA, Madlib Invazion, and ESGN, to further critical acclaim.
On May 27, 2020, Gibbs and The Alchemist announced that they would be releasing a collaborative album titled Alfredo. The album's lead single, "1985", was released one day later alongside an accompanying music video directed by Nick Walker. The album was released the following day on May 29, 2020. It debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200, making it both Gibbs' and The Alchemist's highest-charting album to date. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, making him the first artist from Gary, Indiana to be nominated for a best album award by the Grammys since Michael Jackson's HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I was nominated in 1995.
In June 2020, Billboard reported that Gibbs had signed to Warner Records. He would then go on to release his first three singles through the label: "4 Thangs", which features guest appearances from fellow rapper Big Sean and hip hop producer Hit-Boy, "Gang Signs", featuring fellow rapper Schoolboy Q, and "Big Boss Rabbit", in October 2020, February 2021, and April 2021, respectively.

"madlib docent work with many producers" lol
He’s still the best rapper by definition imo.
Hasn’t sold out, hasn’t changed his sound or vibe, still makes rolling deep bangers.
Dudes boss, lived the life, brings it forward without overly bragging.
He may have lost Grammy, but he is undefeated In court!
Grammy after party bitch we rockin like we won the bitch
At least he lost to nas and not Macklemore
“got a 600 dollar an hr lawyer I ain’t worried about shit!” 💯
It should have gone to Freddy. Nas should have won it for Illmatic but the grannies are lead by clueless idiots from corporate labels
@@joeydonnelly7082 that song is great
One can study Freddie, but nobody can come to a conclusion to his IG content.
"what city fam?!"
Home to legendary quotes “Good crack” “What city fam?” and “D’fuck”
Wypipo
D'Fvck
D'Fuck
Freddie Gibb's building quite a legendary discography
For sure I thought he couldn't follow up Pinata and Bandana but Alfredo is mighty good
fax that fake rape allegation got this nigga moving like Tupac classic after classic
He already has built one
Hey Dat
Indeed! He already has one of the most consistently great discographies of all time!
1. Pinata
2. Alfredo
3. Bandana
4. Fetti
5. You Only Live 2wice
6. Shadow Of A Doubt
7. Freddie
Not one miss here only hits
Thanks for the video Volk
I'd put Bandana 1st or second interchangeably.
And Shadow of A Doubt is interchangeable with You Only Live 2wice too! Damn, not to mention his mixtapes BFK, Cold Day in Hell and so many others!
@@crispythablack5837 I agree, Bandana is the best!
Thank you for getting this right
Nah Pinata will always edge over Bandana he flows too well on those beats and there is not one miss 17/17 Bandana I just feel doesnt match exactly what I loved about Pinata but doesn't change the fact its the best rap album of 2019 and Alfredo is something I didn't know I needed outta Freddie hopefully the third installment Montana lives up to its predecessors
The concept with the paper cutouts is really nice!
@Izzy Rod no.
Bruh I was dying when he said "whatever BS Travis Scott made in 2010" lmao
The Graduates were the hottest thing on MySpace lmfao
When on my vacation in Europe in 2014 I was 13 years old. At that time Piñata dropped and I illegally downloaded it on my phone and I knew that first listen, I found something special, I went back and downloaded all of Freddie’s projects and bumped them through my months stay. Now I’m 20 and I’ve followed Gibbs throughout his career and I can’t believe how much he’s grown and I love that other people appreciate him too
@Cian MacGana c'mon man don't be a dick
@Cian MacGana Don't be that guy😂😂
This fire, need a understanding OutKast
Yessir
I'm not even 7 mins in the video, and i love the new "realism" editing with the cutouts and pics of FG face on them! This is NOTHING like other music video essays ever! It's so natural and more personal imo, I wouldn't trade it back for the OG Digital Visuals ever!!!
@Izzy Rod stop plugging your garbage
Freddie Gibbs has NEVER made a bad project.
agreed
Yup
Esgn and Fetty are criminally underrated
I would have to agree
NEVER!
Gibbs has the most complete discography and is the most versatile rapper since hov, his flow and lyrics is unmatched and his MO is just perfect because he sticks to a single producer and concept and it just goes perfect
I'm not a street guy but I love a lot of the artsy street rap that has been coming out lately from rappers like freddie gibbs and:
Benny the butcher
Conway the machine
westside gunn
mach-hamony
roc Marciano
knowledge the pirate
mayhem lauren
chuck strangers
danny brown
boldy james
billy woods
elucid
KA
pusha T
Who would have thought chuck stragers would be leaving his peers in the dust, consumers park > anything any pro era member's released since consumer came out
no kanye suprised hes the king of all these types of guys
@@producer-eh7pp not at all, he’s a better producer than all of them combined but out of the guys I know on this list most of them are better rappers
@@producer-eh7pp you still have time to delete this😂
@@producer-eh7pp Kanye isn’t a “street” rapper
1:45 I mean Nas recorded Illmatic when he was 17 and its considered an extremely influential album.
1999 by joey bada$$ was made when he was 17 and b.ad.a$$ at 20 and the latter I've not heard but apparently its rlly good and 1999 is amazing
He says he's 19 ON that album. How is he seventeen.
@@godwarrior3403 According to Pitchfork " 'Illmatic' arguably remains Nas' shining rap moment and, unbelievably, the rapper was only 17 when he started recording it. " As it was released when he was 20, I'm guessing the writing, recording and finding a label took several years. Through this time he changed his name from Kid Wave to Nasty Nas as well I believe.
@@BookwormCowboy Yeah he probably wrote one or two of those songs at 17. He didn't record illmatic at 17. You're misrepresenting it and you know it. Freddie's songs are also stronger than anything on Illmatic. That album is legend for being revolutionary for the time, it doesn't hold up as anything that hasn't been outdone
Rakim made paid in full when he was 17 and he created the blueprint of multiple rhyme scheme and modern rapping at that time
Piñata is deadass one of the best albums of all time and nobody even notices it 😔🦓
in this genre though
Can you compare it with peppers? Didn’t think so
@@Leon-cd1iy absolutely fantastic profile picture good sir
Freddie always gave me a stoner uncle who is very talented kind of vibe whenever i see him in interviews
As an incredibly huge Gibbs fan, I have to say as much as I love Alfredo, Piñata has to be one of his most perfect albums. It's an absolute timeless masterpiece that I haven't stopped playing since release, and have no plan to stop in the future 🔥
Understanding FREDDIE GIBBS INSTAGRAM
That’s a whole other video
He has the best Instagram of all time
D'fuck 🤣
Good crack
great video. also, ‘stache gang
I've been listening to Gangsta GIbb's for a lil over 10 years, I went to see him in shows every time he came to my city; whether you agree if he's the best rapper or not, it's without a doubt that there is no other rapper like Freddie Gibbs. A tremendously versatile artist, for me he's one of a kind & I feel privileged to have seen his growth & success over the years. He's my GOAT
straight up.
Ever time I watch videos on this channel I realize that it is really one of its own kind.. please keep making videos, channels like this are what keeps me coming back to youtube!!
It has to be said that BFK is still the hardest opening song for any rap project ever. First time I heard it I knew Freddie was Goated.
Yes! That was such a great project....The Hard is still one of my favorites
Same
Quality journalism. Your delivery and research is superb
Thank you!
I was EARLY as hell on Freddie Gibbs. Im so happy for him that hes finally getting the recognition he deserves. The man has been killing for YEARSSSSS!!!
100% feels like the whole team winnin
maybe joey badass was as good as freddie gibbs at his 20s cause he was a beast with 17
Facts
Ehhh...
@@qomco 1999?
Thats just my opinion. I shouldnt have said anything, I just prefer Gibbs now as an artist so its hard to compare
@@qomco i prefer Freddie too, but in rapping hability i think they were at the same level nah im sayin
My guy looks like Marc Rebillet with that sick mustache 😂
I was thinking younger and skinnier fantano with hair. never seen him on camera before
I remember when bfk dropped, I knew Freddie was it, everyone just had to see it. I’m so happy the sob is getting his recognition
Been listening since 2010. Freddie is every bit as good as Kendrick, and its really been a blessing to have both of them in the game at the same time.
Thanks for making this. I feel like Freddie Gibbs still doesn't have the recognition he deserves for his unique aesthetic and the quality of his flow.
No one was at good at rapping at 22 as Freddie
Me: laughs in 17 yr old Joey Badass
And 16 year old earl sweatshirt
@@mitre10_trolley3 you jus thought you could throw earl in there with these guys? 😐
@@95til.infinity46 you acting as if Earl isn’t lyrically better then Joey and Freddie, get the fuck outta here😐
@@mitre10_trolley3 Earl isn’t better lyrically than Freddie lmao
Freddie now > Joey Badass now
YESSS so glad you covered one of the best rappers in the game rn
So glad you're covering my man Freddie.
The new handmade feel of the video is really cool. The format of cut out paper is really fun to watch, and as always, the content is entertaining and educational.
Freddie is the greatest rapper alive for sure. When Kendrick becomes active again then let's see if he reclaims his throne.
No rapper will ever touch Kendrick, To Pimp A Butterfly alone was enough to put Kendrick in his own lane, lightyears ahead of any rapper. He made an ART piece. Besides, I don’t see why Black artists are always pitted against each other like to undermine one’s talents is to uplift another. Freddie is dope AF... Cole is dope AF. There are many others I could mention but you get my point. Let people make the art that touches them and their base. There CAN be more than 1 King. Just learn how to rule over your domain.
@@GoldenGraham25 tpab is untouchable. And it's not to undermine any ones talents it's just the unique nature of hip-hop that's always been competitive and that's what drives the culture forward
they are both great, if i had to pick between the two I pick Freddie every time just because he is SO FUCKING SLEPT ON and also he has released quite a bit more music
At this point I'm really thinking about completely staying off RUclips and only watching nebula. Cause YT is just been downhill for years. Phenomenal video as always Volk, love to see Gibbs get shine.
Freddie Gibbs's Alfredo had my album of the year
Wow. What a perfect encapsulation of Freddie Gibbs. I think you hit it on the head, thank you for making this!
Freddie Gibbs one of the greatest of all time been a fan since 2007 have seen Freddie in concert 6 times from when he only had a couple dozen people at his shows to watching him sell out a big venue and rock the stage with madlib
One of the best lyricist and the best Instagram of all time dude is one of the only reasons why I keep that app😂
I been fucking with Freddie for a minute and the fact that other people are starting to give this man the recognition he deserves makes you feel like we all made it. Big Lord Bunny Rabbit 💪💪
Your videos have some amazing production value. Really appreciate what you bring to the community!
What should I cover next? :)
Idk if you have done Anderson .Paak yet but please do Paak need it

Maybe you can tryout some Metal music.
Nobody was as good as Freddie at rapping when they were 22? Yeah but mobb deep made shook ones part ii when they were 19
or another qb rapper making illmatic at 17. lol
His IG story is unexplainable, the man is the most entertaining artist outside of music too
I didn't know about Freddie until Shadow of a Doubt, and hell, I gotta say this dude's one of the best rappers I've ever heard. Bandana and Pinata are one of my most played albums, and I'm looking forward to Montana. He literally never misses, every album is a classic.
This is super top tier content. Thanks for highlighting one of the rap GOATs in this creative way!
I fucking love you and Freddie
i dont know if anyone will see this everytime you the name of an album that ive loved of freddie all i got was like 10 goosebumps all through this video fukin hell im gratefull that i fw his music like that..
Great video, Logic!
Why do you look like a young and hip Anthony fantano.
Your videos are always so creative!
Freddie Gibbs the G.O.A.T......hands down the best rapper in the game right now....
Shout out to Freddie being possibly the realest, hardest, most talented rapper I've found in the past 20 years.
Funny thing is he been around for the better part of those 20 years dude really grinded and now its paying off
Kendrick, Freddie gibbs & big krit are best in the game right now. They been the best in the game on the low for the last decade. People just now getting on gibbs. And still sleeping on krit.
Krit? Not benny or conway or mach hommy
@@apollospyrol7168 griselda is in the mix as well. My bad! They all go hard. But benny & conway I rock with heavy. Westside is straight too.
Freddie Kane a living legend
really sick video - great presentation and loved the cutouts
I swear i know my classics but Freddie really in the goat debate
It all makes sense now. You and melon HAVE to be related lol. Y’all look very similar
Haha and kinda sound the same too
@@alec57 and they both are from Connecticut! Yup the secret is out lmao
Awesome video man....good job!!
Wait there's a THIRD Madlib album in the works?
hes definitely one of my favorites
He is literally one of the greatest 🙏🏼👑
this is so creative man!! keep up the good work.
Thank you for such a good video!
Woah this is some next level Volksgeist production
Freddie gibs starring in a movie gives me chills
Been messing with Freddie since miseducation and B.F.K. I must say it's so very exciting to see how far he has come, saw him live with tech n9ne in like 2015 and it was surreal.
Crazy to see that growth.
Al and Freddy made me listen to rap again
bandana was album of the year
ESGN was a great album just really street .
another beautiful video sir. thank you
Really cool to see my man blow up
Do a story on Madlib
His tiny desk is great
I'm gonna check out that Curiosity Stream subscription!
i love your videos bro!!!!
This is fantastic. Looking into Nebula next!
Thanks for the create content an efforts!
Al and Freddy is the best combo since burger and fries
Gibbs the best rapper doing it right now
Ironic i saw this video pop up. Alfredo was my most played album last year and currently it and Bandana has been on constant replay. I love me some Freddie Gibbs. Boy is too hard.
nice vid man. i always felt he was great back then. he is super talented. my fave collab is when freddie and el michels affair did bandana live w madlib too.
Volksgeist deserves 10mill subs fr.🔥
I have to disagree somewhat about the pre/after 2014 distinction. In actuality it was a bit more muddled. Thuggin was released in 2011 alongside a now legendary music video that visually still holds up to this day. It was Thuggin that put Gibbs on my radar immediately and also what made BFK and ESGN seem so redundant. When listening to those tapes, Thuggin truly seemed less like evidence of the evolution Gibbs was undergoing and rather like a career oddity. Also the wait for Pinata was excruciating, going by the release of single a year and without much publicity regarding MadGibbs. And lastly it really shoudn’t be understated how important it was that Pinata delivered the way it did, since too many artists make great music but put out shitty albums. Lookin at you, AbSoul!
Couldn’t have said it any better myself
As someone from the Gary area, he really makes the people from that area proud.
Pinata is one of the best projects made in the last two decades and his discography is straight up phenomenal.
But saying nobody was as good at 22 years is a stretch lmao.
Great video dude
ABOUT TIME VOLKS
It’s crazy watching somebody from the same neighborhood grow into a superstar.
love this paper cut out aesthetic. damn.
I know who Freddie is but not familiar with his music. About to check some of it out and see how good he is. I'll be back
• I love the cutout paper, more of this on the next video plzzzz •
Just met Freddie a couple weeks ago in Houston
Great vid👍
Looking more professional in every video
I have the same birthday as him One of my favorite rappers ever
Do Cochise next bro, he bout to blow tf up
Freddie is becoming a top 5 OAT rapper
