The things I rap about are 100 percent real. But at the same time, I don’t rap about those things to tear my city down. I give you the reality of what it is and what I been through and how it is living in those conditions in Gary, Ind. Freddie Gibbs Read Quote
Every project might only sell like 30 to 50,000, but I mean, I’m getting seven, eight dollars every CD. I make more money per record than an artist on a major label – I can definitely say that. Freddie Gibbs Read Quote

I don’t like pre-written raps; I think it makes the song better if you listen to the beat first. In a sense, you have to make a marriage with the beat.

I have a respect for Young Jeezy. But the reason things didn’t work out for me and Young Jeezy was because our approach to the industry… My approach to the industry was a tad bit different than his. I wanted to approach my career a different way; he wanted to go a different way. Freddie Gibbs Read Quote
I had a nightmare that I was mopping floors and that this Freddie Gibbs thing was all a dream. Freddie Gibbs Read Quote
