Freddie Gibbs
TIME MACHINE POET OF THE WEEK
FREDDIE GIBBS
| Born | June 14, 1982 Gary, Indiana, U.S. |
|---|
We are now announcing only the second time we have named a living person for our “Time Machine Poet of the Week” tribute. Hailing from the streets of Gary, Indiana; Freddie Gibbs has created his own stylized flow, equipped with story-telling that exhibits the essence of legends such as Tupac and Scarface. I was introduced to Gibbs in 2014; I first heard his collaboration with Joey Bada$$ “Carry On” and then listened to the masterpiece and possibly his best album “Piñata” produced by Madlib.
Songs like “White Range” and “BFK” bring forth a manifestation of Tony Montana and the Vice City aura that’s rare to capture in 2018. He is easily in the top 5 rappers alive and that’s if he’s not already the best hip-hop artist producing music at-the-moment. With the release of 2018’s self-titled album “Freddie” and his on-going popularity – his demand is climbing. Freddie Gibbs is our TIME MACHINE POET OF THE WEEK.

5 Songs About The Future
These are 5 songs about the future!
“In the Year 2525” is a song that deals with humanity and how it adapts into the future. Themes of the song include machines that rule the labor force, asexual humans, test-tube conception, pills for food. The song ends in the year 10000, which describes earth covered in darkness.
THE BYRDS – ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW
“One hundred years from this day will the people still feel this way?” Is the opening line to this short but powerful song from The Byrds; it provokes a thought of existence through the spectrum of a memory… stuck between here and now.
Queen’s hit “39′” is a take on the famous time dilation scenario first mentioned in Einstein’s special theory of relativity. This is also the plot of the original Planet of the Apes film.
THE BUGGLES – VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR
What is there really to say? Music videos killed the radio star, and the Buggles music video for “Video Killed The Radio Star” is ironically so terrible it makes you rethink the idea of music videos overtaking radio.
Neil Young showcases his talents in synthesizers with the release of “Computer Age”. A personal connection of Neil Youngs’, since the influence of the song, deals with his journey of communicating with his son who has cerebral palsy and the progression of technology into the future.
“Cars and trucks Fly by me on the corner But I’m all right Standin’ proud before the signal When I see the light I know I’m more than just a number”

Wolfman Jack
TIME MACHINE POET OF THE WEEK
Wolfman Jack
| Born | Robert Weston Smith January 21, 1938 New York City, U.S. |
|---|---|
| Died | July 1, 1995 (aged 57) Belvidere, North Carolina, U.S. |
Although I didn’t grow up in the realm of Wolfman Jack; I remember DJ Cousin Brucie replaying snippets of Wolfman Jack on Sirius XM satellite radio on the ’60s on 6. His humor and voice electrified the music that followed, and his popularity rose to heights unseen before with a Disc jockey.
Born in Brooklyn, January 21, 1938, he would later find his passion in radio as a Disc jockey in 1962-1964 for Inter-American Radio and gained mainstream status via XHRF-FM radio located in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, which had the strongest radio frequency – able to broadcast to California and most of the United States. His admiration for the Blues and Rock n Roll captivated black musicians into the ears of white school students, who otherwise had no access to the tunes.
He would have a small part in the 1973 film American Graffiti, finally allowing his fans a face to the Wolfman’s voice. Wolfman Jack died of a heart attack on July 1, 1995 at the age of 57. Wolfman Jack is our TIME MACHINE POET OF THE WEEK.
