A word of warning, these songs are so smooth you might just find yourself drowning like Augustus Gloop.
Just give a listen to Scottie Beam or Crime Pays, and I promise you’ll taste that delicious chocolate. They are the ones guiding the flow of the chocolate river that Gibbs uses to sell Wonka bars. Madlib and The Alchemist, who have produced all of Gibbs’s last albums (and almost everything he performed at the show), are really some of the best producers in the business. That’s pretty rapper of him.īut given the emotional resonance of the instrumental production on Gibbs’s songs, there were times when I was disappointed by the a cappella rapping. It seemed like there wasn’t really a set list - Gibbs just rapped what he wanted to rap when he wanted to rap. Gibbs started most of his songs a cappella, and would continue without any instrumentals well into the first verse, and even through the hook. Fox opened up by asking everyone to meditate, and then guided everyone in what he called his “mantra”: a call and response of “Yeah, hoe! Yeah, hoe!” He then proceeded to rap his comedic rhymes, hyping up the moshing audience and turning the beat off for punchlines. Fox got his first break in entertainment as a young writer on The Eric Andre Show, a fact that makes a lot of sense when you catch him in action.
But it’s really only been in the last five years or so - making two albums with producer Madlib and a Grammy-nominated album, Alfredo (2020), with producer The Alchemist - that Gibbs, now 39, has taken off and become one of today’s most highly regarded rappers.Īt least, he’s regarded enough to fill up midtown Detroit’s Majestic Theatre and make the place move.īut before Gibbs’s performance, comedian-turned-comedy-rapper Zach Fox opened up the show. It’s been over 10 years since he was named into the 2010 XXL Freshman class.
AUGUSTUS LOOP FULL
It’s been almost 20 years since he released his first mixtape, Full Metal Jackit, back in 2004.
Freddie Gibbs is at a pretty great place in his career.
