Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (F*ck the World)
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Producer: L.A. Riot Music (Josh The Goon & Speakerbomb)
Album: Str8 Killa EP
Label: CTE
While the rest of the world hyperventilated over Thank Me Later, the summer release I’m most interested in (besides Big Boi’s Chico Dusty) is Freddie Gibbs’ upcoming EP Str8 Killa. Can you blame me when the Gary, Indiana representer is consistently dropping dopeness in the Booth like The Ghetto, Rock Bottom and now his new single National Anthem (F*ck the World)? Appropriately, given the tracks’ title, National Anthem was produced by L.A. Riot Music, though contrary to their name the production duo also known as Josh the Goon & Speakerbomb craft a symphonic beat for Gibbs to flow over, and flow he does. In trademark fashion, Gangster Gibbs refuses to soften his delivery, dropping starkly real and surgically precise line after line about his ceaseless struggle against haters. I wouldn’t mind a different hook, but other than that, I’m all for making this hip-hop nation’s new national anthem. Str8 Killa the EP, due out August 3 via Decon Records, will also have a partner project, Str8 Killa the mixtape, due to drop July 29. It’s gonna be a dope, dope summer.

Gibbs is a ray of positive sunshine in a mostly cloudy industry. His beat selection is remarkable and his execution is always pin point.

Freddie Gibbs spittin that heat right now. I his delivery is on point on this one. He saved this beat and not many rappers can save a beat. Most of the time, it's the other way around.

I really hope Gibbs blows up in some form or another, the lad is to talented to only be praised by the internet community. Production is on point & Gibbs never disappoints with the mic

Gangster Gibbs mofos! Frankly this isn't my favorite Gibbs track, but that's more a testament to how dope his other work has been than any failing on the part of National Anthem. I frankly don't think there's any "gangster" rapper flowing with this blend of lyricism and skill right now. No one. I can't wait for Str8 Killa.

You can't go wrong with Gibbs! I didn't really like the hook but the whistle inbetween was a nice touch. Verses are always pure talent and skill.

One of my favorites right now. The guy rips pretty much every joint he does or is on. The chorus ok, but it doesn't stop Freddie's shine

Nice concept, poor execution. Doesn't sound crisp at all. (It sounds like sh*t!) Flow, production, and hook can't come to an accord.

First off the production here spared no expense, it was really good stuff. secondly, Gibbs was lyrically unimpressive, what a surprise.
