I fw Freddie so hard, cool to see him recognizing that. I tried to timestamp it but skip to 1:57 and listen through the end

He says top 5 is himself, Kendrick, Drake, Pusha, and Black Thought

Host tried to say Drake hadn't dropped a classic yet (admitted maybe Take Care) and Freddie wasn't having it, kept saying Drake got bars

So many of Drake's peers respect him, but only a few of them will ever publicly admit how good he is as a rapper so shout-out to Freddie Gibbs for doing that.

I always love when this happens. You know the internet "real hip hop fans" almost have an aneurysm trying to figure out how their favorite real hip hop top 5 lyricist f***s with Drake not only musically but lyrically as well.

How the f*** can people be surprised that real lyricists f***s with someone who makes Going In For Life, The Resistance, From Time, Lord Knows, Lose You, Do Not Disturb, Omerta, Diplomatic Immunity, Draft Day, The Ride, Tuscan Leather, 0 to 100 / The Catch Up, and the whole Time/Location series among a plethora of some of the best rap records of the past decade. They be like "nah Drake made Toosie Slide and God's Plan that nigga ain't a rapper he just a pop artist!!!" Like why can't he be both? He is BOTH. That's why he is the GOAT!

Real hip hop in shambles

Respect for Freddie. This whole 'I need a classic Drake album' argument is so tired it's honestly not even worth addressing anymore. Solid 5 man list

It’s crazy because based on today’s flaky standards a lot of the albums we consider classics probably wouldn’t be and I’m happy that he gave Drake props for his rapping ability I think him being a hit maker people forget he actually can rap with the best of them

Alfredo was flames honestly would be a nice collab

most people simply don't understand what makes a great rapper/lyricist

the people who think like that automatically discount his pen because he is the most popular. every god tier rapper has praised drake as a lyricist though

Lmao ppl still saying drake has no classics

Freddie one of the realest, it's only right he fw the realest

but I found it funny how he hyped Pusha and immediately talked about how he have to "buy the character"

@Unforgivable

definition of being a moron

well respected by goats and battle rap community

Why

Sup

It’s the only thing the closet stans have left to knock him on

Push sells his coke kingpin villain s*** well though even if its not necessarily true

you right tho

Rick Ross does too I put him up there with rappers that sold the persona well

could happen, Drake got collabs with Benny and Conway on the way and Freddie's been collabing with them too so it'd be cool to see some overlap

True

Dope. Is there a thread of other MCs praising him?
