Can Bill Simmons Help Break Freddie Gibbs?

Freddie Gibbs is my favorite and easily the best rapper to hit the scene in 2010. He has a great variety of flows and touches on a variety of topics all with a Tupacesque F-everyone sensibility. (check out some of his stuff here:  http://www.itsaraprogo.com/?s=Freddie+Gibbs )However, he does (at least not yet) have any Drake or B.O.B. like potential singles and thus will have a hard time breaking out of the underground/blog-o-sphere. He may get an assist from an unlikely place though in Bill Simmons Sports Guy Podcast. http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=87997 Simmons who has a huge reader/listenership especially of white men between the ages of 15-50 is actually kind of a great vehicle for Gibbs to use to expand his audience. Here is to hoping it works,.
