Hailing from Gary, Indiana, a place whose murder and crime rates have ranked it several times at the top of the "Most Dangerous Cities" list, Freddie Gibbs is the true definition of a street survivor. Raised on Gary's east side, Gibbs lived the hard life firsthand in a run-down industrial community plagued with vice and ignored by the establishment. After playing at Ball State on a football scholarship, Gibbs was kicked out of college. Over the next few years he went through court-ordered boot camp, joined and got discharged from the military, and held down a series of 9 to 5 jobs without success. Feeling like the system had failed him, Gibbs turned to hustling; pimping and selling crack out of a local house. Inspired by rappers like UGK, The Geto Boys, and 2Pac, Gibbs started rhyming about his life and the issues facing urban youth in Gary and the countless other impoverished cities just like it. Gibbs is the first rapper signed to a major label from Gary.
The Steel City's most famous musical residents to date are the Jackson 5, whose name still adorns a marquee on a falling-apart theater in Gary's blighted downtown. His desire to rep the Midwest and his city led Gibbs to start recording mixtapes and pushing them online as well as the streets, where he quickly began garnering fans drawn to his original style, diverse flows, and deeply personal lyrics about his experience as a young black man growing up below the poverty line in a forgotten American city.
Freddie has worked with respected producers like Madlib, Red Spyda, Just Blaze, Buckwild, the Alchemist, Polow Da Don, and Collipark among many others. Gibbs cites Houston rap and Pac as his major influences, and it shows in his ability to alternate between chillingly tense street stories of violence and laid back comedic tales about women and weed. Ultimately Gibbs shows and proves with his rhymes, which demonstrate the promise of a legend in the making. His skills, wit, and street credibility establish Freddie Gibbs as a true artist. He's ready to represent for Gary, the Midwest, and anyone who relates to the struggle of inner city life. As Gibbs tells it: "My music is definitely on some gangsta shit. That's what I was raised on and what I witnessed. How can I speak on anything else?" "Become a fan now, or become one later."
One Eighty Seven
Freddie Gibbs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hit this new chick named Michelle in my 6-8 Chevelle
And yo, last week it was Michelle, but this week it's Monique
Who had the best, yo, I can't tell, both them hoes was some freaks
That bitch one eighty seven, that shit one eighty seven
Put me to sleep, got that killer pussy, go call the reverend
Push up the coast, watch her pussy pop in my 9-11
I'm standing tall, got me busting off like a loaded weapon
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
Got that killer pussy, call the reverend
That bitch one eighty seven, fucked in my '87
Hotbox my Chevy, we posted up for the smoking session
Won't take your chick out to dinner but I eat that bitch for breakfast
Hit her with that dick in the morning, leave all my bitches stressing
Fuck all these acting-ass bitches, ratchet-ass bitches
Sign my name in bloody murder, bitch, I autograph bitches
Know some niggas 'round my way that might spend all the cash with ya
Hope I treat you for a day then drop you with your last nigga
But don't be scared to bust it open for me
Bring that shit back in slow motion for me
Dropping bucket naked for this money
Got all my bitches checking for the money
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
Got that killer pussy, call the reverend
These are the tales that I tell so well
I hit this bitch in A-T-L, she was from Riverdale
She fucked with ballers, I could tell from her hair to her nails
Can't say goodbye, that pussy fi- like it was dope on a scale
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
Got that killer pussy, call the reverend
Watching you swing around the pole'y
While I be taking these shots like Kobe
Just ordered a bottle of cham
Please come ringing around the rosey
Don't bring her around the homies
She thicker than stogies
I eat her like hoagies
Knowing ain't good for me like snitching the police
But I just keep calling that bitch
Pop a band, let it fall in that bitch
Take her home, get dome
Zip then rip there and leave it all in that bitch
I get mad when niggas calling that bitch
Almost had a nigga caught in a twist
Done near lost my girlfriend for that whirlwind start falling and slip
Better back up though
I can't fight, she gon' get it back up though
Killer with the head, call it cutthroat
Bust a nigga head, even luck, no
She come real quick when I fuck slow
Fuck slow, fuck slow, fuck slow
Still here for my fuck slow
It's daddy's little slut though
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
Got that killer pussy, call the reverend
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
That bitch one eighty seven
Got that killer pussy, call the reverend
In "One Eighty Seven," Freddie Gibbs and Problem rap about their sexual conquests with various women. The chorus "That bitch one eighty seven, got that killer pussy, call the reverend" implies that the women they are with are so good in bed that they are "killing" them. The term "one eighty seven" is also a reference to the California Penal Code for homicide, further emphasizing the idea of the women being dangerous to them.
The first verse features Gibbs boasting about his sexual experiences with two different women named Michelle and Monique, both of whom were "freaks" in bed. He proceeds to describe how one of them was so good that she put him to sleep, and how he enjoys driving up and down the coast with his partners while they have sex. Problem's verse is more explicit and contains more vulgar language, with him describing how he eats women for breakfast and autographs them after having sex.
The lyrics in "One Eighty Seven" paint a picture of promiscuity and the objectification of women. It reinforces harmful stereotypes about men and women's roles in sexual relationships.

Stay away from her
I can't fight, she gon' get it back up though
I'm not going to physically fight for her, but she will find another man
Killer with the head, call it cutthroat
She's great at oral sex
Bust a nigga head, even luck, no
If I get into a fight, I'll probably lose
She come real quick when I fuck slow
She enjoys it when I have sex with her slowly
Fuck slow, fuck slow, fuck slow
I enjoy having sex slowly
Still here for my fuck slow
I plan on continuing to have slow sex
It's daddy's little slut though
She's willing to do anything sexual that I want
