Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

[NYtymes]

i remember madlib saying he made " no more parties in LA" for kanye on his ipad, i wonder what app/ software he uses

 

[Cagny]

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

That joint SCREAMS Bone Thugs

I don't even feel its knee jerk giving this a perfect score for me. arguably best gangsta rap record I've heard and I've listened to all the classics. Like fukk, the beats, the lyrics, gibbs flow on this is otherworldly features. I know it could be in the moment capping but I got this with Illmatic and mbdtf as my favorite rap albums ever. Its that good.

I don't know who mixed the album, but it was mastered by the legendary Bernie Grundman, who has done a variety of classic albums including two of the best sounding albums of all tiome - Steely Dan's Aja, and The Chronic. Everything sounds great except for the mixing levels between samples and vocals. It's not noticeable on every track, at least.

I do like how some of the vocals are distorted, depending on the tone/feel of the record. The vocals on Practice sound...naked, alone, like he's confessing in a large empty room. Fits the track perfect. And then the second half of Half Manne Half Cocaine just has some wild, stark vocal distortion that just...works.

speaking of aja whew



recognize the sample?

Uptown baby

[Long Live The Kane]

Wow...just...wow

Saw that tweet and immediately came here to see if anyone mentioned what software

 

[Maude]

For a guy who can and has made every type of music that exists it doesn't surprise me he'd try his hand at trap beats

madlib probably got a trap album sitting on the shelf right now. Im pretty sure he sent fred a batch of those
