"Bandana feels sharper than Piñata, like Gibbs and Madlib are giving themselves room to breathe, space in which to explore their thematic and darker goals. Subsequently the record feels far more artistically complete, working effectively as a creative snapshot of the two artists as they were in 2019.....In many ways, Bandana is very much the record that people will be expecting. It is an exceptional modern hip-hop album unafraid of exploring the darker sides of the modern rap persona, all whilst creating a rich, textured sonic environment within which it can be best ingested. The album already sounds timeless; when an early sample provocatively suggests that “the surgeon general has determined that the sounds you are about hear will always be devastating to your ear”, it becomes hard to offer up any opposition."

You know if John gotti karate Is on there by another name?

No idea. It's possible but it's equally possible it was a random track that didn't make the final cut.

There was a few songs he played on IG he said was for "Fetti" too, but they weren't on there.
