Fantano with a dope review

But he hates that gangsta rap according to many

the fat fukk

Fantano is a great reviewer in some aspects(very descriptive in a real musical sense), but terrible in others I think. The problem with him is that he only enjoys a certain type of hiphop. shyt always has to be thought provoking, unique, strange, or groundbreaking to be dope. Sometimes rap music can be dope simply with dope beats, great mic presence, dope rhymes, and ignorant subject matter like a Ross or Juicy J. He lets his personal bias for certain types of rap to allow him to shyt on the rest of it. He don't got the ears of a real nikka for this rap shyt. He's basically your typical cross genre music reviewer. He could never appreciate what an artist like Curren$y brings to the table on one of his projects. Sometimes a nikka just want to ride and vibe out to some shyt, it don't always gotta be that deep. An artist don't always have to reinvent the wheel with every project either.

The fact that he never felt none of Gibbs other projects tells you what you need to know about dudes ears for rap music.

Some valid points made

Ross is still grade A even on a ignorant level. Juicy J is way better at doing it than him.

I don't use the C word loosely But, a couple years from now when they ask what's this decade classic Freddie Gibbs & Madlibs Cocaine Pinata will be mention You know an album's classic wehen every day you listen to it, and the next song sounds greater than the next song And even with Cracknny Brown and Cac Miller verses, it doesn't deviate from this album's excellence Gibbs flow on here is ridic, and I love him for saying: nikkas trying to vulture the culture, motherfukk all of y'all Madlib messed around and made a 93-97 RZA album in 2014 Those soulful voice samples just melts my 90s kid heartThey often see what we can't see/Wearing a smile, then the way her heavenly voice blends into the beat If you ask me what's my favorite song, I'll just say from 1-17

 

[Big Mel]

I agree I don't know why people are saying this.

They comparing it to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx but I think that has more to do with the concepts of the production. RZA was cinematic and wanted to paint a mafioso story with the mafia/Blaxplotation/Kung fu movie samples and this album Gibbs was tryna make a "gangster, blaxploitation film on wax".

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Surprised that some people are saying it falls off after Uno. Robes, Broken, Lakers, and Knicks is an amazing 4 song run to me.

 

[AlldayNE]

This is a dope project as a whole, I'm gonna sit with this for a while

 

[NerdNash]

I like this album.
