Which, of course, is exactly when the rest of the world caught up to Gibbs, recognizing his effortless authenticity and pointed songwriting, and prolific output. In the ensuing decade Gibbs has only improved at his craft, as well as adding innovative marketer and accomplished actor to his resume. Today he approaches 40 yearsold at the top of his game, with accolades, respect and blossoming financial opportunity. 0:00 01:20: Intro 1:21 2:35 :Parents Professions and Early Influence 2:37 3:41 : College + The Army 3:41 6:00 : Starting to Rap 6:00 7:50 : Meeting Lambo + Getting Signed 7:52 9:41: Getting Dropped 9:41 12:25: Overcoming Bad Deals In The Music Industry 12:25 14:
