Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

[Youseenmywork]

Funny shyt is I get the question from plenty of young dudes asking why I still vinyl shop and to me it’s not even close the way vinyl sound when sampling is unmatched.

 

[Youseenmywork]

Am I the only one that’s STILL listening on repeat ?

That is what good music suppose to do. It’s suppose to evoke a feeling when you hear it...and even you take a break and come back to it ...you realize like yeah this is why I like this album

Album did 18.9k first week and debuted at 21 on the Billboard 200. Gibbs seems happy with his numbers.

I don't know what cats expected. Gibbs, even signed to a major, is still an underground artist. Madlib is not a mainstream producer. There wasn't 50 songs on the album, to cheat code their way to better numbers. There wasn't a dumb ass meme or viral "challenge" to help them out, either. They dropped a cohesive album in an era where people are throwing out random songs, calling it an album, and hoping at least 2-3 of them are hit records. This is about what I thought he'd do.

I saw the billboard position now thats dope but I haven't found any source for the first week sales. Where did you see that?

Gibbs IG story from yesterday. And he said "all this with no radio play, no hit record, etc. Believe in yourself" which is why I said he seems happy with how it performed.

This album is fire. Piñata took about a month to grow on me but I love this album straight out the gate. Madlib really diversified his production on this album and Gibbs did his thing as usual. The second half of “Half Manne, Half Cocaine”

Fukk with Mister K, put ya face on one of them picture chains
Sugar Ray the fade or go John Wick with the pistol game
Bytch ain't crack the safe, got his moms hit with the pistol grip
Move like the Yakuza - set trip, we clippin off fingertips
BYTCH!! - Freddie Gibbs (Half Manne Half Cocaine)

Gibbs channeled prime 50 on the 2nd half

This a good release. Was never much a Gibbs fan but the production and flows are a perfect match.
