DJ Booth: Do you find that sharing your story, of everything you’ve experienced in your life, is cathartic?

Freddie Gibbs: Definitely, man. Me bein’ able to share with people my life – it’s tough, ‘cause your whole life is an open book, but you’ve gotta know this is what you’re getting into when you start rhymin’ and doin’ that. I just feel like I don’t wanna hold nothing back from my listener. If I’m gonna be rhymin’ about sh*t, I gotta give ‘em everything – I’ve gotta give ‘em my strengths as well as my vulnerabilities, just to let motherf*ckers know I’m human. And me tellin’ my story, tellin’ my whole, complete, true story is what sets me apart from most of these rappers in the game today.

DJ Booth: ....I know your music has been inspired by artists such as UGK, the Geto Boys and 2Pac, but what current recording artist can you name as an inspiration to the future of your recording career?

Freddie Gibbs: I don’t listen to too many dudes. I don’t like rap right now – it’s bullsh*t. But if I do listen to stuff that’s recent or current, I’m listening to either Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti… If I’m listening to rap, like she said, UGK, the Geto Boys, Scarface, 2Pac, T. Hood, Mr. Mike – I’m listening to that type of sh*t. The new sh*t don’t really move me. Some of it is cool, but it just doesn’t give me the same feeling that music gave me in the ‘90s, when I wanted to get up and go buy a record from the store.

DJ Booth:.... Having grown up in Gary, which you’ve described as a land of despair, and anyone who’s ever traveled through Gary knows that, but now residing full-time in L.A., do you ever think about what your life would be like, had you grown up out West instead of in the Midwest?

Freddie Gibbs: Yeah, man, I think about that a lot. Me and my homies be talkin’ about that, ‘cause I’ve got a lot of homies out here in the streets, in South Central, Watts, Compton. I ain’t some dude that just moved to L.A. and be chillin’ in the Valley; I’m out here, I’m on probation in L.A. for a gun charge, so I know real thugged-out dudes, and regular dudes, too. But we talk about that a lot. Like I said, L.A. is my second home – I love it here..........и т.д.
