Freddie Gibbs - Stripes (Run D MC)
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Featuring: Young Jeezy
Producer: Lil Lody
Album: TBD
Label: CTE
Outside, the sun may be shining and the birds may be chirping, but here in the the Booth the forecast is a little different; now that Gary, Indiana phenom Freddie Gibbs has officially aligned himself with Young Jeezy‘s Corporate Thugz Entertainment, it’s looking like “Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow!” for the foreseeable future. Though the deal was inked last month, today brings us the first fruits of Gangster Gibbs and Lil J’s partnership. Stripes (Run D MC) is a swagged-out take on Jeezy’s coke-rap formula, with Lil Lody cooking up a clattering synth-percussion backdrop for a veritable blizzard of dope slang. Gibbs is all business on the front, forgoing his usual hyperkinetic flow to match his new boss’ more measured brand of block talk. After the Midwest repper’s finished flaunting his entrepreneurial acumen and dodging the five-o, the Snowman brings the cut home with some of his trademark “Tony Montana sh* t.” So, readers, are Gibbs and Jeezy a match made in heaven? Debate away – and, as always, keep it locked for the latest news and tunes from both.

It's cool. Kind of repetitive. I expected this for the 1st song though. As long as Gibbs keeps makin music with producers like Statik Selektah & The Alchemist i don't mind a random joint with Jeezy yellin snow on the hook. Jeezy is a different lane, plain to see.

Ok let me be the one to say that this song is nice. This is a marriage made in heaven. This is a nice introduction for Freddie Gibbs to the hood crowd. I still dont think he should have signed to Jeezy but only time will tell how Jeezy will drive his career. Great song though

Gibbs > Jeezy.
I get the Run D MC thing but this is not Gibbs' kind of music, this is a Jeezy track all day. With that said, Jeezy bores me. Gibbs shined as usual though. I just hope we have better music to look forward to than this. This may be a good look in the sense that the Jeezy fans will give Gibbs an opportunity in their deck, but he is so far out ahead of Jeezy artistically, it may not exactly mesh well with the Jeezy base. But that sounds like I'm shitting on Jeezy fans, right? I'm not, but while the simple formula Jeezy has locked himself into is appreciated by a variety of listeners, there are ones that only want to hear dopeboy bragging over aggressive beats and for those fans, Gibbs may be too much. But maybe he expands some of them. Who knows? It is an interesting situation, we'll just have to sit back and see how it goes. (Damn this rap game is starting to feel like post draft day analysis...) |

The production needed a little more lex luger to it. I was never a fan of dope music to begin with so this had no impact on me. But I believe some out there actually think this goes hard.

Here goes the merger. This is what Gibbs fans didn't want to happen aka saturate his sound w/ Jeezy's. Dope boy music is played out and we all know this ain't Gibbs lane. The beat knock that's about it.

I have heard much better from Gangsta Gibbs, but this isn't a bad start for him and his new deal.
