Based on the title of this mixtape, Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik, it’s pretty obvious that Freddie Gibbs is an Outkast fan (who isn’t). Much of the production owes some debt to the murkier Organized Noize produced material, although “Sumthin You Should Know” sounds like a Dr Dre outtake circa 2001. More importantly, Gibbs, who is from Gary, Indiana is equipped with a charismatically nasal, often doubletime Midwestern flow that helps make this tape solid across the board. The first listen through isn’t going to yield any ridiculous highs, but it does show that having an authoritative and unique voice, something lost on a fair amount of new rap dudes, makes Gibbs someone to look out for.

Bout time the fader covered Freddie Gibbs! This dude is making great street music!
I tried — a lot — to get into this dude’s “Miseducation” mixtape. Didn’t work.
@frankie you must be from the suburbs…this gangster shit is more lyrical than any “lyricists” out. shit is dope!
Don’t matter where I’m from, this dude is boring.
Boring? Seriously?? Sheeeeeeeeet… I’d hate to know what music you do listen to if this is boring to you. It’s ok though, sometimes it does take awhile for people to actually hear something. Especially with all the bullshit that’s currently being pumped out… And there is always that one idiot that tries to ruin everybody else’s fun at the party

Im all about hip hop, but i needed something dirty like this…
The gym is going to pay tonight once i xfer this to my shuffle.
