ONLY to be pissed on by an unneeded beat switch and meh bars from gibbs (in comparison with the first parts). shyt could've been the best track of 2019 if it ended with the first beat.

I like the beat switch. Second beat is dope too. Not to say this is you but I think a lot of people who are tight about some of the beat changes ain't really Madlib fans like that. Go back to the Lootpack and Quas albums and you get 3 or more beat changes on one song. It's just always been his style. I love how easily Gibbs can adapt to the flips he really doesn't miss a step.

I gotta revisit Piñata and really compare these albums. I think one big difference is the samples. Piñata had more diverse samples/genres whereas Bandana is a lot more soul sample based. I wonder what direction the third album will go in?

Dunno where Gibbs will go next but I hope it's not generic trap beats. That Freddie album has some joints I like but nearly every beat sounds the same. Flip side, Shadow Of A Doubt had a lot of trap but felt diverse. I'm hoping he just flexes that major label clout and gives us some shyt Ross would do - some trap, some classic producers, some random shyt, etc lol.

Only beat switch I disliked on the whole album. Totally unnecessary, 1st Cataracts beat needs to ride out, the feel and vibe was too engrossing.

I think he reached out to Banks in the past and got no response. That's probably why you don't hear too many features on any of his recent projects before this. He sees how phony the industry can be
Damn just googled it and banks declined

Would've been ill :BanksRejoice:

Would not be surprised it goes into some electronica/bossa-nova/prog heat while combining Pinata and Bandana style shyt. In other words, Lib gonna Lib:blessed:

Does madlib put skits on these beats after the fact or do the artist hear these skits before recording their verse to the track?

it flows like a madlib beat tape
How does that differ from the regular version exactly?
