If you followed our CMJ coverage last week, you might recall our correspondent Jamie Falkowski’s lament at having missed a performance by up-and-coming Gary, Indiana, rapper Freddie Gibbs at S.O.B.’s.—seems he might possibly have been yanked off the stage after exhibiting his fondness for a certain controlled substance. That report might have smelled like urban myth, but the stark new video for “Boxframe Cadillac,” a track from Gibbs’s outstanding mixtape MidwestGangstaBoxframeCadillacMusik, lends credence to the claim: In no uncertain terms, the rapper describes his policy for mental-enhancement therapy behind the wheel. The video is beautifully shot and the hook is addictive; some of the language, needless to say, is NSFW. (Hat tip to The Smoking Section.)
