Freddie Gibbs - Shadow Of A Doubt (Discussion Thread)

[Ohene]

forreeeeeeeal that fukking beat doe
can we post links or no? i got a stream

one of the best beats he ever rapped on. that female vocal sound in the background is so soothing. might even be my favourite freddie gibbs song now and that says a lot

 

[Ohene]

after the second listen i say this is barely in his top 5. some bangers for sure but i can tell he getting way too influenced by what's hot right now instead of sticking to his real ass self. never thought i'd hear autotune on a gibbs track...

whats your opinion now.

as somebody who's been listening to him since 2009 i can say this is his best project.

Midwestboxframe... and Miseducation... though?

i started listening to him with Str8 Killa but didnt go too far back.

Oil money was the first song i heard...old friend put me on during university.

 

[Ohene]

nah for real. Only song I don't like is Mexico. But that's only because Tory Lanez doing a generic hook.

Still give it a strong 4.5

can't compare it to Pinata. Cats shouldn't be trying to compare it to Pinata. Totally different animal.

that hook was definitely not generic. You would have to be from Toronto to understand it though.

I'm from the polar opposite of Mississauga (Mississippi) so you got me there.

Wait so he's out and about in Austria?

 

[hex]

Wait so he's out and about in Austria?

Yeah. He was also on bail in France for like 2-3 weeks, and fought extradition to Austria. Finally he was like "fukk it" and removed his request to block the extradition, offered to go to Austria and get the shyt over with. He was locked up for a week until they processed his bail request, then he got out. His actual trial ain't happened yet.
