The Official Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Album Discussion (3.18)

[CJ]

Word right now idk if it's >>>BFK but it's definitely equal atleast

 

[rip.dilla]

That skit where he sings a distorted version of 'Waterfalls' had me rolling .. .

 

[Sweat jones]

dude seems wack to me??

 

[Lou Cypher]

Finally got the chance to cruise around and give this album a listen. Shit is really dope. Definitely my favorite release so far this year. Havent heard a whole lot from gibbs besides some features but he goes great with some Madlib beats.

That diss to jeezy was mean and that beat was fucking ill too. Definitely gonna have this on repeat for awhile. Hope they work together more in the future.

 

[nillerthekid]

Which y'all think is better...this or doom's jawn?...

To early to call it, but give it some time and I could see this being my personal favorite Madlib produced tape

 

[rip.dilla]

Album sounds like a Blaxploitation movie on wax .. Old school but sounds quite modern

Things are really fitting in for me ..

Madlib coming over here in April. Copping tickets tonite with immediate effect

Exactly what I thought. This is the best put together album I heard this year so far. Gibbs sounds great on madlib tracks n he spit like he had something to prove. This is his best album 2 me so far. The cohesion of it being just lib beats n how the skits n songs tie the shit together nicely.

Finally decided to listen to the whole thing yesterday and this shit it's great. The first half is better than the 2nd but it's only slightly. I enjoyed almost every song. I still can't find a download for this though

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

Aiight... So this joint is right behind CyHi for project of the year so far. Gotta give it a 4-4.5.

bout it off the strength of that thuggin song. always heard good things but never listened...

been to gary a couple times jus to buy some fireworks.....and yall think Detroit is a shithole.....sheesh!

but homie a lyricist forreal

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Man I'm bout to cop this bitch off iTunes ....y'all niggas better not be over gassin this shit up

 

[DOPEdweebz]

This shit better than bfk imo

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

This shit better than bfk imo

I don't know about that bruh .... I was listening to it my first time and I just can't see it

I like madlibs production on here but I feel like the lack of that hard drum sound doesn't really showcase Gibbs in the best way he can be showcased IMO .... I like the more agressive hitting shit for Gibbs that we got on BFK to be honest ...but that's me ...this light shit is coo (and it's a testament to Gibbs dexterity as a artist to flex on this production) but I like that knocking production for him better ...a whole album of smooth shit don't impact me the same way

 

[CJ]

^^i can understand that BFK was full of bangers this is a smooth album not really any "bangers" on this.

 

[southernmade]

doesnt sound like he was trying to make any bangers...

This one requires multiple spins, imo. I, too, was a little disappointed the first time having some of the same criticism, but after more plays it has become my favorite Gibbs project (for now anyway, a little early to be completly sure). His pen game is better than on any other project, and the beats are a great suit for him, once you get used to the very different sound compared to what he usually use

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

doesnt sound like he was trying to make any bangers...

Definitely Clear.

 

[southernmade]

Definitely Clear.

thats not a bad thing though.....he's shown he could do that. Was Pinata some next level shit, nah.....but was it a well put together project....hell yeah....I think it just helps him in the long run....gain some listeners who might not have fucked with him before.

I'm definitely going to bump it some more ...I mean I like the project a lot don't get mean wrong ... Shit is fire and I had a feeling it would be a little more chill based on the leaked songs and the ep's the two have dropped ...I just think he sounds better over that shit with some kick to it

Like I think "thuggin" probably the dopest song on here and I don't think it's a coincidence that that track got the hardest feel to it in regards to the percussion and the bass

Nah like dont get me wrong I'm not saying its a bad thing at all ... I like the shit ...and like I said I think this speaks to just how dope dude is that he can rock on this type of production and still kill shit ...I'm just saying I think he sounds iller over that shit with the extra kick on it like going back and listening again my favorite joints off this are tracks like

Harold's

Thuggin

Uno

Shitsville

Those joints either got a hard bass line or the drums knock
