Freddie Gibbs x Alchemist - Alfredo (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

Wish “look at me” got another verse whether it’s from him or somebody else. That’s prob my favorite beat on here

It's really trippy, right? I think it would've been the best spot for a Currensy guest verse to close it. If I'm being super nitpicky about the sequencing, it follows a really mellow joint (Scottie Beam), and I think it could've come after Frank Lucas instead of before, as a way to chill out for a second since Frank Lucas is so crazy. After Scottie Beam I was kind of expecting a really hard joint to follow it and not the spaced out and blunted Look at Me.

Supppeerrr nitpick though. The whole album has no skips. This is AOTY and I hope it elevates both Gibbs and Alc into all time great status for a lot of more casual heads.

This is that shyt and my top album of the year. Alc top 5 undisputed legend.

frank Lucas

Your dude Conway absolutely bodied his feature too. Might be my favorite feature verse of his since The Cow. I mean I consider The Cow his song even though it's technically a WSG song but whatever.

This is exactly the type of shyt I'd love to hear Conway do more of.

Every feature on this album is amazing. All 4 guests treated songs like it was their own.

shyt got me acting like my name is Luigi di Angelo. Best Alfredo I ever had. Bravissimo.

Is from a king to a god dropping in the next month? if so we about to feast

WSG is the same for me. Both are people you have to listen to multiple times in order to fully digest it compared to someone like Benny who can capture your ears upon first listen.

WSG is way more of a chore than Gibbs. I actually think he’s got a good rap voice nh.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

shyt's tough. I fukked with Frank Lucas, Babies & Fools, Skinny Suge and Scottie Beam the most. With that said - Off my first all the way through listen, I prefer 'Bandana'

My AOTY contender list looking right now. though.

 

[O.Red]

How the fukk am I just now seeing this!!!!!!

It only just came out last night

If Alc gave S.N.O.R.T. to Freddie, this woulda been an 11

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Its Gibbs so it's real good but this isnt grabbing me like Pinata/Bandana/Fetti

Gibbs is in my top 10 and he been the most consistent mc of his generation but I can understand some criticisms he gets now

His monotone delivery can kinda makes tracks feel kinda similar
Sometimes he does kinda use a flow that is kinda like one big run-in sentence
Lyrical content is obv pretty limited but I dont mind that much

After one listen, didn't really get a strong urge to run it back immediately like previous projects

Not hating tho, I def fw this

I also love Alc but his beats on this weren't terribly interesting. I woulda hoped he woulda outdid Lib.....but

I can't be mad at anyone for liking Pinata and Bandana more. Not even a little bit. This hit way harder than Fetti to me on the 1st couple listens of each.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

If Alc have S..N.O.R.T. to Freddie, this woulda been an 11

I wouldn't be surprised if they were recorded in the same sessions and Boldy ended up with S.N.O.R.T.

God Is Perfect is astonishing. This is a beat Eminem would have spazzed on back in the days of Eminem Show. The piano, the swing of those drums with the doubled up snare and ominous bits and pieces mixed in.. Freddie makes it his own and takes it to the next fukking level. Then to go from that vile shyt to the smooth luxury of Scottie Beam, and for it not to sound out of place?.. What the fukk is going on? Just when I think I’ve seen and heard it all.. To be living in this era...

gibbs is good, even great at times


but the star here is Alch period



I want a jayz alch album it would be a classic

Oh yea I’m sure they were just like I’m sure 500 Oz, Babies & Fools, and Frank Lucas were

Fell asleep before this released on streaming platforms.

Woke up at 5am like it was Christmas morning and have spun this back for 5 hours straight godamn they delivered here

ALC is

What a run he's on and same goes for Gibbs, his consistency cant be ignored at this point

 

[Deafheaven]

I wouldnt be shocked if Freddie ends up top 10 when its all said and done. He making pinnacle level gangsta rap in a era where its not common
