Freddie Gibbs Unpacks "Bandana" Favorite "Situations" On "Between The Lines"

On Between the Lines, we look closer into some of our favourite songs to find things that maybe we didn't notice the first time around. Gangsta Gibbs decided to look into "Situations," telling us that this track, in particular, shows exactly what he was trying to prove on the entire body of work. "This album was basically like a manifesto for me. I was saying a bunch of shyt that I probably shouldn't have said," said Gibbs with a laugh. "I made some people mad but they'll get over that shyt."

In order to get into the right mood, Gibbs says that he was bumping Bone Thugs' song "Days Of Our Lives," which is one of his personal favourites. He says that before getting locked up, he was messing with that one song heavy and it inspired him to come out with "Situations."

................................

Gotta brag a little cause I called that shyt last week .......shyt is a classic. Freddie did bone justice

Was just coming in here to post about this track. This shyt is hard as fukk. Is it just me or does the beat sound like it has a bone thugs sample?....with them demonic ass voices in the back. Gibbs is even using the signature bone flow at certain times. And he repeats the phrase "young and thuggin" throughout the track....is Gibbs payin homage


Or maybe I'm reaching.....But fukk it....even if it's not bone I'm still gonna pretend it is because it makes the track even doper to me

Sad part is when we get to that point. That will be their last album together and Gibbs last one(words Gibbs himself said)

I think Gibbs is bullshytting, because the next album is already done. He said he's retiring after "Bandana" too.

Fred.

Breh has too much money to re-make, he's not retiring lol. Rosenberg summed it up nicely...Gibbs got the type of projects he can live off for years. Piñata and Bandana can be toured, re-released, etc for a long time.

Breh missed out on a lot of tour money while in jail. He's gonna make that back, pay those lawyer fees, and start cashing checks. I'd imagine his next album will be modern shyt but with a label budget/push. We bout to get a Gibbs and SZA single lol (label mates). I wouldn't expect Montana for a few more years

I thought the deal was just distribution for this one album.

Flat Tummy Tea sounds so much better on the album.. shyt crazy..

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Man what an album... Cause fred stepped up big time. Lib went OD with the beat flips though, some were NOT good and not needed others were FIRE. A lot more modern sound from Lib, and better flow and bars from Fred.
THAT SAID...
Pusha killed him in Palmolive, and what's worse they talking the same subject matter too. Looked bad for Caine, cause Able bodied him.
Cataracts 2nd verse short, simple to the point. First verse is nice too.

Yea the beat flips were not needed in some spots esp on Cataracts

Pusha's verse was better but he didnt renegade Fred...he

Cataracts is some powerful music

I can't listen to it just once after it comes on

I cant play Cataracts any less than 3 times a row.

I played Pinata and theres still a lot of ones on there that i skip(High, Harold's) and a couple ones that are just ok(Lakers, Bomb)

Bandana is better....ppl just have nostalgia

 

[904]

This is better than Pinata

Unquestionable for me

 

[reservoirdogs]

I played Pinata and theres still a lot of ones on there that i skip(High, Harold's)

Those are two of the best ones on it, Harold’s my favorite probably.
If I skip any track on it those are Robes (still dope but kinda drags compared to the others on the album) and the titke track (bit too long). Usually don’t skip any though all if them are at least good.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Harold's sounds like a throwaway to me and im a big DB fan but his verse on High was basically the most annoying aspects of his style

Title trac has a great Freddie verse, i like Meechs verse...the rest of it was kinda meh

 

[Guvnor]

Am I tripping or did Freddie Gibbs talk about how on one song on the album a rapper thought he was throwing subs and he wasn't? Who was the rapper and what was the song?

I heard him mention it but I never looked into it and now I forgot all about that shyt.

I concur, nikkas is bugging. The smoothness of the beat on Harolds and the way Gibbs is flowing is crazy. Then High is dope as fukk.

I don't skip one song on Pinata.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

"Days of Our Lives" is one of his favorite songs.

He's a 22-12 representer


My nikka

@ Gibbs & Madlib saying Montana is better than this.

He said people thought he was dissing ASAP Rocky on "Crime Pays".

Gibbs channeled prime 50 on the 2nd half

He said he wants 50 on the remix
