Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

[Drew Wonder]

Situations is so fukkin fire got damn

 

[987654321]

Top three after a week:

1. Cataracts (this that sunrise to a new day type of music)
2. Situations (this that sideway type of music, feels like your vision should be swaying type of music)
3. Fake Names (sit and think hard about what you need type of music, second half's the find your peace type of music).

Can't remember loving another album like this for 2019.

The melodies are very mature in this joint...this that grown man type of vibe. No self- doubt, no self-loathing, just understanding.

It legit hurt when the beat switched on “cataracts” lol.

Me too
Let that shyt ride out....you aint gotta do a beat switch on that

After further review I still have to give the edge to Pinata. Both brothas still showed out though like I said before. Freddie was consistent if not better than before. However Madlib was a bit more impressive on Pinata imo.

Thuggin is still Gibbs greatest song
Probably my favorite rap song ever
The lyrics
The beat
How can a song so ugly sound so good

I said earlier in the thread, there was a few songs Gibbs played that didn't make the cut for "Fetti", either.

Fred.

Say what?!

I remember seeing all Currensy post this and all 4 or 5 joints teased here made it on the EP so I assumed nothing got left off.

In the interview with Bootleg Kev he said he got way better records that he didn't put on Bandana but they'll be on the 3rd joint with Madlib for sure

I hate when artists do that man. If you got it just put it out Give us that John Gotti Karate

Edit: let me rephrase. It annoys me when artists say shot like that. Put your best foot forward when you release a project. If you really think some of your best material isn’t on what you’re giving us, we don’t need to know. I love Gibbs and Madlib big it’s lame to get hit with the ole “if you loved this you should hear our really good shyt that’ll be out sometime later on.”

Madlib and Gibbs did it again. Bandana is dope. They gotta keep this momentum going.

There was a few songs Gibbs played on his IG story that wasn't on "Fetti".

That beat is plain stupid man. The way it phases in still has me

Just saw Gibbs tear it down in nyc. Dope ass performer. Came back out twice to rap after his set was over

 

[ReasonableMatic]

Codeine got me passin' out
Kron, mix it with cranberry
Tryna see what that about
'Member we hit that lick and tied up them Crips in that Atlanta house
Had to smoke that nikka that came along with us 'cause he was gon' rat us out
Seem like my actions was devil sent, I can't sympathize
fukk Generation X, this generation genocide
Your social stat make you fantasize about a homicide
To me, the God Allah is the Black man personified
Anticipatin' and killin' my own, in search of wealth
Should he come knockin' at the door of your home, you know, we don't fear death
Knew the Lord was in the room when my daughter took her first breath
Cold turkey on the dope, had to gain the knowledge of self - Freddie Gibbs (Cataracts)

 

[Renegade47]

anyone got a directors cut link?

 

[John Mexico]

I could swore this was a step up from pinata...

And then I listened to pinata again today lol. That album ended strong as fukk, notably Shame.

I just want another album already. Classic after classic.

 

[RasNas]

The only thing I'm mad at is that not more people are supporting this masterpiece. Over a week later and most songs don't even got a million streams on spotify

There's only so much you can do.

And directors cut edition.

There's only so much a true fan can do.

Just pre ordered the rappcats edition double vinyl.

Two records – the LP and a bonus LP – individually packaged in two different sleeves. The bonus LP is the Madlib Invazion version of the album cut to vinyl early this Spring. While the actual track list remains the same on both versions, the Rappcats bonus LP can be looked at as Madlib’s “Director’s Cut.” This LP and its unique sleeve are exclusive to Rappcats and will not be presented in any other formats or repressed
