Watch Freddie Gibbs' Take on 'Queen & Slim' in New "Scottie Beam" Video f/ Rick Ross

As if 'Alfredo' couldn't get any better, Freddie Gibbs continues to add to the plate with the release of the Rick Ross-featuring "Scottie Beam" video.

As if Alfredo couldn't get any better, Freddie Gibbs continues to add to the plate with the release of the project's latest video, "Scottie Beam."

Freddie took a line from his first verse—"I'd hate to be on the run for smoking a officer/We busting at police before Queen & Slim, that's on FN"—and created a visual based on Melina Matsoukas' 2019 film. Similar to the Lena Waithe-written movie, Freddie and a woman are traveling a back highway in a drop-top Chevy when they encounter a police officer. An altercation occurs resulting in Gibbs shooting the cop. Suddenly he and his companion are on the run and heading to Florida like the characters in Queen & Slim. He encounters Rick Ross, who serves as his ally, giving Gibbs and his accomplice money and a place to stay while also delivering a masterful feature verse. Ross is donning Isiah Thomas gear, making a callback to Freddie's first verse.

"Spark spliffs, raw kicks I get from Clark Kent/Common sense, no prints, strictly the mob hits," Rozay raps. "Exhale weed, shipment from the West/My brain begin to seize when I'm needing rest/Kobe Bryant when we speaking very best/I pray for Gigi, wonder if she get to see me next."

During Ross' verse, Freddie and his companion make it to a boat and pay a man to get them out of the country. The video draws omparisons to Queen & Slim up to this point, where instead of going down in a blaze of glory, Gibbs actually gets away and lives out the rest of his life in Jamaica.
