Freddie Gibbs wishes he had taken a different route in life.
During a conversation with students at the University of California, Berkeley, the ESGN founder opened up about his music career as a street rapper and how it no longer aligns with his life as a family man.
“I’ma tell you the truth, man, I wish that I could get up and rap about some other shit. I wish that I would’ve made a career of rapping about some funny shit or girls or comedic or any fucking thing but this shit,” he lamented.
“Every day I think about that. I wish I had a rap career … that was not gangsta. I don’t want this shit for myself. I don’t want this shit for my son. I rap about this shit because it consumed me, it’s where I’m from, it’s what I was doing on the daily for two decades.”
Gibbs also reflected on his relationship with the streets. “I don’t give a fuck about no street code, I don’t give a fuck about none of these n***s in the street,” he said. “I don’t want y’all to think that I’m rapping about that shit ’cause I’m trying to glorify it; I’m really not.”
The 42-year-old grew up in Gary, Indiana, and has been rapping for about 20 years. According to HipHopDX, he has welcomed three children in that time: a 9-year-old daughter Irie, a 5-year-old son Ethan, and a 4-year-old daughter Charlie.
Gangsta Gibbs confessed that he feels “embarrassed” when he listens to his old music. “I turn it off because I’m like, ‘Fuck, I don’t wanna talk about selling drugs.’ I can have that realization now because three children later, I’m a family man.”
In 2006, he signed with Interscope and was gearing up to release his debut album when it was canceled and he was dropped from the label. He later signed to Young Jeezy’s CTE World in 2011, under which Gibbs dropped a handful of mixtapes. He left CTE in early 2013 and launched his own label, ESGN (Evil Seeds Grow Naturally), which was also the title of his debut album, released in June 2013.
“This industry will chew you up and spit you out,” he explained. “For the early part of my career, I thought this is what I had to rap about to make money. Who wants to hear Freddie Gibbs rapping about going to college and getting a degree?”
“I’ve really put my heart into this shit because I love rapping and I love making music, but a part of me every day wishes it was a different subject matter,” he added. “It’s also brought me a lot of pain, it’s brought me a lot of bullshit. The rap game has brought me just as many enemies as the streets.”
Gibbs began tearing up as he concluded, “I feel like a survivor of that shit.”
Freddie shared his latest album, You Only Die 1nce in early November, and he addresses the same subject matter on the song, “Cosmo Freestyle.”
“N***a took loss after loss, friends leave when that check gone / Slept on, but a broken heart ain’t gon’ feed these kids / Yeah, I gotta have a talk with God ’bout all the things I did, yeah (Yeah) / Drugs, aggravated robbery / Hurtin’ on the inside and hidin’ behind this tough shit and this misogyny / See, the man in the mirror ain’t gon’ lie to me.”
