I know Freddie Gibbs isn't necessarily mainstream, but people need to quit acting like he's some unknown act. Dude has been featured in quite a few high-profile magazines, newspapers, etc.

If you would ask the average hip-hop fan they wouldn't even know who he is tbh.

I suppose. Idk, I just see his interviews in most magazines nowadays and after his whole thing with Jeezy it just seems strange if you're interested in Hip-Hop how you could not know the dude.

He's not "underground" like say...Big Pooh is underground. But I'm not sure he's "upper underground" in the same way Action Bronson is.

I'm amazed at how little the average hip-hop fans knows tbh I had to explain to somebody who the Wu-Tang Clan was a couple days ago like brah...... =/

Lol. Yeaaah I forget sometimes.
I know people that always reference "Wu-Tang Ain't nothing to fuck wit" but probaby couldn't identify any other tracks on 36 chambers. Haha, maybe i'm just being cranky.
The internet makes it so easy to insulated yourself in your own little niche things. I have no idea what's popular anymore.
I will say that a played Gibbs for some friends in a dorm recently and two out of three of them had heard of him. They were all at least somewhat into hip hop.
I went to Danny Brown's show a couple weeks ago with a friend who had never heard of Killer Mike, who I always thought was much more popular.
I, myself also can't really say I know who DJ Rashad is. I've seen his name a bunch before his passing and I'm sure I've heard a bunch of songs he was involved in creating but I couldn't name one off the top of my head.

Coming this year.
I don't even like the beat. It sounds like every song you skip on an MMG album.
Not sure if serious, but if so, I hope there's weight to that Kanye/Jay/Jay trifecta album release rumour.

I meant after he announced he was gonna drop it. Were stanleys just waiting anxiously all of Christmas day and realized he was trolling them?
Yes, no doubt everyone was eating Christmas dinner and PD's brothers yelled at him to stop masturbation marathoning like he always does and come down and grab some ham. Little did they know he was desperately f5ing SOHH and crying big bullet tears, waiting for our favorite formerly homeless alcoholic killah priest imitator to 'kill fake hip hop' by dropping his album. But it never came. Coal for christmas. Fucking owned. Then he signed to Hov, further completing his cypher of misery.
