Freddie Gibbs

"Womb 2 the Tomb" (Video) f. Pill

Anyone who proclaims Gary, Indiana critical darling Freddie Gibbs as 2009's premier rookie rapper clearly has not heard Playboy Tre. Which isn't an affront to Gibbs; on "Womb 2 the Tomb," he and fellow newcomer Pill (who sounds like Plies, except talented) wax tongue-twisted, gangstafied conceit over a damp, eerie organ riff and howling soul sample. The track is every bit as somber as a drive through Gary's vacant streets. [Fader]

That seems to be the general consensus, but I don't quite agree. Freddie's material doesn't resonate emotionally the way Tre's does. And "I Ain't Runnin'" and "Oh My Lord" are two of the year's best tracks, without question.
