People trying to state that Freddie Gibbs and Pill are talented yet have limited reach because they take a lot from other rappers is a cop out. This couldn't be further from the truth. Rappers such as Pill and Gibbs are paying homage to the greats, there is no doubt in my mind that they've already flexed their vocal muscles on proven hit beats and used similar rhyme patterns to achieve an impressive product. It's not fair to judge them this early in their careers to a full extent, because they have only just begun to hone their skills and every track/ album they put out is going to be inherently that much better. What's happening is that these rappers are getting boxed in by people quick to make assumptions. The fact that they rap over so many greats, past beats should be a hint at the fact that they are already able to keep up with the greats on their own tracks. On Pill's most recent mixtape he has a tribute to both Biggie and Pac. Gibbs is already featured on a established artists album (CunninLynguists, Strange Jouney Vol. II). Give them time and they will out swagg any artists on the current scene without a doubt. Just remember it's necessary to learn to fly before you soar with the eagles, but these two are already flying with the best.
