Albums Freddie Gibbs - Freddie (Discussion Thread)

[Trav]

Respectfully, this shyt almost got cut off after the 1st 3 joints. And this is going by Gibbs' standards. Outside of 2-3 tracks, the rest are generic. And "Generic Gibbs" is still better than the majority of nikkas in the rap game but I could've held off til Bandana for new music if this was what he decided to come with.

A couple random thoughts browsing the thread....

1. I don't understand people being upset the album is so short. This time last week we didn't even know we were getting a new Gibbs album....he literally announced the mixtape and dropped it within 12 hours. So even a short album is more music that you expected to get, which was none.

2. I don't understand people being upset this is trap Gibbs. He already said "Bandana" is next and he never drops similar sounding projects back to back....after "Pinana" he came out with "Shadow Of A Doubt", which is nothing alike. And on that album he had a song with Black Thought, which was different from the rest of the album.

Even with "Freddie", he dropped a song with fukking MF DOOM the same day. He's trying to hit literally every rap fan base on the planet.

Fred.

He is the most versatile rapper out...

This definitely has a similar tone given that it's an EP but dude is very versatile. Check Shadow of a Doubt and Pinata.

Cosign. I used to just say he has the most versatile flow out, but now I think he's pretty clearly the most versatile rapper out as well as quite possibly being one of the most talented rappers to debut in long ass time.

How many rappers can go from killing something like this:

It was skr8....whole album kinda blended in together .nothing stood out or needed to be set aside to listen to down the line

Beats slapped...but pretty unremarkable when considering contemporary hip hop highlights (gotta take it there hes being crowned as one of the heavyweights)
