Freddie Gibbs Talks "Gangsta Grillz"

''Drama Did A Lot of Favors For Some Weak N***as'' 8:30PM ET June 20th, 2012 Contributor : Chris G. A Rocky Williform Company Rapper Freddie Gibbs is readying, "Baby Face Killa," his upcoming entry into the popular "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape series hosted by DJ Drama. Gibbs says that he's hoping to restore some of the brand's acclaim, after what he feels have been sub-par artists featured on the mixtapes recently. "I've been wanting to do a tape with Drama for a while-- I guess I wasn't cool enough before, but now I am," Gibbs told Pitchfork. "I'm about to restore that prestige to Gangsta Grillz. There's some dudes that did Gangsta Grillz tapes who probably weren't worthy of it-- their label just put up the bread, or they did a favor." "Drama did a lot of favors for some weak n***as, but my tape is gonna take you back to them 'Trap or Die' days," he says. "Jeezy's the biggest artist to come straight from the streets the past 10 years, and that's the reason I f**ked with him. I want to catch some of that magic. I want to be a part of that Death Row-like atmosphere, and that's what we're creating, without all the bullsh*t. I'm putting the missing pieces together for the tape now. I've been on the phone with Pusha T, I got Jadakiss, I got a track with Z-Ro."
