Freddie Gibbs - Do Wrong
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Featuring: Pill
Producer: DJ Burn One
Album: Str8 Killa No Filla
Label: CTE
If God wanted us to do right, why’d he make it so easy to do wrong? Here with a rap meditation about that very paradox is Indiana’s great hip-hop hope, Freddie Gibbs, and his new track Do Wrong. Rooted in some hustler-meets-soul production from DJ Burn One, whose boardwork here reminds me of the late, great Pimp C, Do Wrong is a slow burner ignited by the lyrically street flow that has earned Gibbs praise from the block to the pages of The New Yorker. Joining Gibbs on their journey to wrongness is ATL up-and-comer Pill – fresh off his highly rated Thoughts – who spits an enjoyable though not particularly remarkable guest verse. Hey, if doing wrong sounds like dope, I don’t want to be right. For more from the talented Mr. Gibbs be sure to check out his forthcoming album Str8 Killa No Filla, coming soon, and listen for our very own DJ Z to chop it up with Gibbs in an exclusive interview, coming later this month.

i wish he wasn't the only person in the G representing because we're known as murder capital and thats nothing to be proud off, we need more aritst that don't be talking about the thug/drug life...but this beat is hot ass hell, but a lil to fast to me to be a slow, soul song but i can see why smokers would smoke to this and why riders would ride to this...but wouldn't listen to this, haven't found one of his songs i would listen to...still waiting...

I can't lie - Freddie and Pill are two of my favorite emcees right now. Both of them are nothing but consistent as of late and this smooth-as-hell/gangsta production from Burn One is too dope.
DjKidd, you are really tough to please, but I love your through feedback. A few more weeks and you'll def be bumped up to "Resident DJ" status.

This definately has that Outkast feel to it. I'm liking this. Freddie Gibbs did his thing as usual and Pill really brought it here too. Another dope collabo from this pair. 3.5/5

Love the production, but it outshines the artists on the mic.

Gibbs is quickly becoming my pick for most underrated rapper alive, although a lot of people are getting behind him, so maybe's he's properly rated.
Anyway, this won't blow you away, but it's definitely some real, dope hip-hop, with some of the smoothest production we've heard in a minute. Hells yeah.

The production is smooth and cool, but the vocals are a lil too low and they fail to catch your attention. The beat definitely overshadows the artists on this one. 2.5 stars

I agree Nathan this does have a Pimp C UGK feel to it. The production is good and the flow is not bad at all.

Its a great track to just bump in ride while you're plotting that next ___ move. Pretty smooth beat-wise and the lyrics don't ruin it. But as far as listening to the words, nothing special but still Rotation fa sho!

Some of these comments are just stupid. This is a dope ass record. Good lyrics, ill beat, smooth hook. Basically, if you don't like @*#$! hiphop, then you'll like this.

I just got put on to both of these cats a couple of weeks ago and have not stopped bangin Gibbs' 'The Labels Tryin To Kill Me'. Cop that DjKidd and give it a try, it's 81 exerts and it shows how truly musically diverse Gibbs really is. Gangster Rap is a legitimate part of HipHop, but I think a lot of people forget that because of all the weak artists out there exploiting gun and drug talk. 'It's like this way of livin chose me, police approaching me, this ain't the way I want to be, this ain't how I wanna live, I dream about havin kids, but I'm afraid that as they grow they won't see their daddy live, cause daddy is problematic, daddy got bad habits, hopefully when I'm older I'll look back and I'll laugh at it, but now I'ma deal with it, get my heat and kill with it, I'm droppin any nigga in the way of my meal ticket, I wonder why'-Gibbs 'Just Tryin To Make It'

I've been really looking forward to hearing some more stuff from Gibbs after giving "Crushin Feeling's" 6 stars. This isn't on that level but It will get some spins.
