Freddie Gibbs Releases SWV-Sampling Song “The Big 2”
The Indiana rapper seemingly directed some words at Benny the Butcher and JPEGMAFIA.
Freddie Gibbs has shared a new song that appears to have some raps directed at Benny the Butcher and JPEGMAFIA, two fellow rappers he’s had beef with before.
The track, titled “The Big 2,” samples SWV’s “Anything,” a smooth and romantic classic from the R&B group that contrasts against Gibbs’ coolly delivered boasts and warnings against unnamed rivals.
However, there are some lines that have been perceived as shots at Benny and JPEG, with these respective raps: “I seen my ex ho with the opps, I never get into drama / They both got crackhead mamas, they got some shit in common” and “My naked ass got more promo than your album.”
Previously, Benny dismissed the idea of ever making peace with Gibbs, but said that fans should let go of the beef between the two rappers, saying during a Breakfast Club interview last year, “The fans, they want to pin us against each other and I get it. It's entertainment for them … but I be telling them, ‘Stop. I don't got no problem with that man. I don't think he got no problem with me.’ It is what is it, and I don't give a f**k.”
During that interview, Benny also addressed his relationship with Destini Fox, Gibbs’ ex-girlfriend, saying that she’s “the homegirl” and they’re just friends.
Meanwhile, Gibbs and JPEG’s beef has primarily existed on social media, which came to a head last year.
In related news, back in January, Gibbs dismissed a claim that an album he has with Madlib was destroyed in the wildfires that hit the Los Angeles area that same month.
