Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

[Zero]

Yeah they gotta collab. Best EP and best LP of the year in this past week. Benny needs to hop on a Madlib track.

Together on a whole EP possibly produced by Alchemist? Maaaan

Man I NEED this

Initial thoughts.

- Gibbs is the best active rapper out there right now but we knew this.

- Madlib brought a very different flavor. Seems to me like harder drums and more eclectic and foreign samples. Piñata had a lot of more traditional soul samples (Ie. Deeper, Kicks, Lakers, Robes, Shame, etc.) There’s a lot of foreign funk on here for sure.

- Madlib and Gibbs are much bigger stars and flex more. Way less guest spots for Gibbs to shine and way more beat switches. I didn’t count but it felt like at least every 3rd song had a beat switch.

Lord Quas on the cover so as a longtime Madlib fan I knew what time it is, dude dipped into his bag on this one, yes indeed

Breh....what else can I say? That lingering vocal sample in the background on some Wu shyt :timmyimout:


Better than Pintata? Unless these next 5 tracks aren't up to par (which I HIGHLY doubt), you damn right.

Boys dropped 2 classics

Gibbs mentions freestyling a lot recently.

On both the Freestyle Joint on Bandana and The Blow on Fetti he acts like both are freestyles.

Y’all think he mean off the top or just random bars he wrote?

I need this for the gym today but I’ll hold off another 12 and a half hours

If I'm Benny, I'm side-eyeing the shyt out of Gibbs right now

No bullshyttin' y'all, but not even 5 seconds before I opened the thread, I thought the EXACT same thang

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Sit your five dollar ass down before I make change/
Pay for your funeral get your shyt arranged/
Kiss your wife and say you were solid then go piss on your grave/



Also I swear that either havoc or alchemist has used this 2nd beat’s sample on half man half cocaine before. Sounds like some old mobb deep shyt.

 

[RasNas]

Aight I Just got of work 'bout 2 listen to dis shyt asap
