Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

Crime Pays

I shouldn't have listened to the singles so much. I really wanted to skip Crime Pays and Flat Tummy Tea when I was listening to the album. I shoulsn't have wanted to skip anything and if I'd stayed away from those singles I know for sure I wouldn't have felt the urge to skip to the next new heat.

Speaking of skipping... where's the skipper on this album?
Because right now I don't hear one.

These dudes Gibbs and Madlib man

Best producer/rapper combo since.....Gang Starr? Reflection Eternal? When was the last great producer/rapper combo that dropped more than one album? I'm thinking Gang Starr. That's what my inner hip-hop head wants to say...and God bless the dead and RIP Guru...but I'll be damned if I'd rather not hear MadGibbs' Montana album over any other rapper/producer album right now...and Bandana ain't even officially dropped yet.

Benny aint never had the versatility, flows/deliveries, creativity and quality output that Gibbs has.

Benny got bars though, I'm a fan, so this is no hate.

Very true. But I do have to say he switched up the flows and delivery on this new EP. I posted earlier that I thought after Butcher on Steroids and Tana Talk 3 that he was gonna have the same flow (which would've been fine) but he's really stepping it up. Obviously Gibbs' versatility is pretty much unmatched by anyone out there right now, but I do give Benny props for elevating his style.

No bro it's not on here. Heartbreaking. I mean this album is so fire. Potential to be better than Pinata for sure. I like it even more than off 2 listens than I did Pinata off 2 listens...but John Gotti Karate is the ONE fukking joint on here I wanted to hear and it's not here. It's weird too because there's sort of a Japanese musical theme throughout the album's interludes and the song would've fit perfectly. Apparently they didn't go guerilla and they actually did clear all the samples on here so I'm guessing sample clearance issues maybe?

I feel so ungrateful complaining after a full course 5-star meal but

Madlib. Gibbs. Please.

I've heard that "Massage Seats" beat somewhere before.
