FREDDIE GIBBS IN CONCERT:
Rising young rapper Freddie Gibbs is set for another big year, touring the country with Tech N9ne and putting the final touches on his second studio full-length. At his 2013 shows, Gibbs continued to display the same lyric al virtuosity and precision he's become known for, hyping up crowds with electric performances of fan-favorites like "BFK" and "No Bottles." With more than ten mixtapes under his belt, Gibbs has plenty of material to draw from for his 2014 tour dates, where he'll perform his biggest hits alongside deep cuts from his catalog.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hailing from Gary, Indiana, Gibbs' demos caught the attention of Interscope execs in the mid-'00s, prompting a brief 2006 move to LA for the recording of his first album. The record was shelved after a management shakeup at the label the following year, but Gibbs was undeterred, continuing to release mixtapes in Atlanta before returning to Los Angeles to record more music. Self-released efforts like 2009's midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik and 2010’s Str8 Killa EP continued to bolster his reputation, earning him some high-profile supporters and paving the way for his 2013 full-length debut ESGN (Evil Seeds Grow Naturally). With sophomore album Eastside Slim due out in 2014, Gibbs is poised to capitalize on the heap of buzz he's generated with his decade-long run of rock-solid releases.
He was a super fun artist even if you don’t know his music, however he didn’t come on for almost 2 hours and was super crossfaded (which I thought was fun) but could bother some people. Short set list but a small venue which made for a fun and easy concert night! I would recommend going to see him if you like rap at all.
U really enjoyed the artist. But I liked the venue even more. I had a great time.
Gibbs kept running songs back just to watch the white kids in the mosh pit get wild LOL. 2nd time I've caught Rabbit live. Will gladly do it again.
Freddie put on a hell of the show! Amazing energy that show desperately needed after the absolutely awful opening DJ. I forgot his name, but he sucked so bad. Just the lamest set I have ever seen. Despite it being incredibly loud and the subwoofers going crazy he was putting me and my sister asleep. It wasn't just that the songs that he picked were bad, it was also the things that he was saying to try to get the audience hype was soooo lame.
Show was great energy from the time he stepped on the stage I see Freddie every time he comes close to my hometown
This was my 3rd time seeing Freddie live, second time at Baltimore Soundstage. Freddie came out at a decent time relative to the start of the show, only 1 opening act which was nice. Gibbs is a great performer and brought the energy as usual. He did a lot of older tracks which was cool, but I was really hoping he would do some more songs off of $$$. All in all I would definitely go see him again.
The show was supposed to start at 7 and Freddie Gibbs didn’t go on stage until 10:30. The sound system was screechy loud and I caught myself wincing at the mixing. Freddie also showed up drunk and there was little cohesion between the different acts. Not to mention that the venue was extremely hot as well. I’d give it one star if it wasn’t for a good cause
nice concert. nice people. nice venue. i’ve been there a couple times and every time has been good. wish there was more merch tho
This was my second time seeing him, and it was better than the last. He is great live, great breathe control, funny interactions with the crowd, and amazing energy. Will jump at the next opportunity I get to see him.
We was up on the balcony like some boogie MF’s everything went great! awesome performance from the Gangsta Rabbit.
