You know tonight's got me thinking, I think Gibbs is on the verge of something big. Just a hunch I have. His career has just been on a straight upward trajectory post prison.

And coming off the grammy snub, makes me think his next s*** might be a bit more commercial, but still unmistakably Gibbs. Like Shadow of a Doubt on steroids. 4 thangs been pretty successful too

how much is he paying you guys

Honestly he needs to link up w a good commercial producer

Madlib obviously amazing but him and alchemist aren’t exactly conducive to commercial success

Hmm maybe

best rapper alive

Based off those last couple songs it already sounds like that’s what he’s trying to do

Nah he needs to drop montana and then retire an underground legend

?

And coming off the grammy snub

He got snubbed? News to me

I'm starting a dialogue

We all knew he was never gonna win

I lowkey feel like there's parallels between thug and gibbs trajectory. both respected by the underground and lauded by critics for years, incredible album runs, neither ever missed. it just takes that one album.

he sounds best on madlib/alchemist production. him rapping over trap beats didnt do as much for his career

f*** going mainstream

I agree, but he'd do it if the check was right

Most would

people only say this type of s*** bc they think madlib's suddenly going to get his big shot lmfao

no lmfao i want these niggas to win but they shouldn't drop what they're doing and start chasing appeal from the masses

an explosion in the mainstream should be completely organic

I was agreeing w u

nas was always going to win that grammy, he was the safest blandest most obvious choice

damn mb read you post the wrong way

if jay electronica won, it would start raining frogs

Why does every artist we like have to ‘blow up’? Staying somewhat underground and maintaining an incredible & consistent catalogue for an artist is a way better feat than ‘blowing up’ and then declining and trying to recreate that original mainstream success. Obvi I want Gibbs to get the check, but if he’s making cash where he’s at I’m happy for the guy.
