This is all I've been playing since it dropped. You know you got a great album when you got a new favorite each time you listen

Only way Freddie can get smoked on a track

Freddie don't know that Tesla will burn his Aston Martin

This is not better than Bandana. Dope though.

Serious thought. Gibbs top 3 rapper out . technically the nicca can rap to anything and find the pocket. CONSISTENTLY.

Gibbs really has mastered his craft.

the nikka is a living legend to me at this point.

All Glass grew on me. Some of the hardest bars on the entire album. Those violent lines over those church organs. It's almost got Just Blaze/PSA vibes. And that vocal sample that comes in at the end of each verse? And the Breaking Bad sample at the end?

fukkin' Gibbs went out with a bang on that joint.

Between naming a song after the show and Walter White references on his last three projects....Gibbs is a "BB" stan.

Fred.

In case anyone missed it, they break down the making of the album here:

‘This Album’s Going to Be a Classic’: Freddie Gibbs and Alchemist Break Down ‘Alfredo’

That’s a good read, props. Cool to see artists excited about what they do and their relationship as well.

Side note I’d love to see a Gibbs and Fredwreck project, that’d be crazy.

When he said he told Gary police he had more guns than them in 05

Merch is fire. Just copped a t shirt, the comic and the CD

Edit. Man I fukked up and didnt realise you could cop things individually, just bought the digital album 3 times because they were all in bundles. Oh well still worth the money.

 

[wire28]

i still like bandana the best but probably bias because i like madlib more than the alchemist

with that said, im buyin merch, i've played the album probably 10 times now and its a 9/10 at minimum

 

[livewire]

gibbs is easily lyrically top 3 right now....

 

[beenz]

this nikka is FLOATING over these alchemist beats.

this shyt might be better than covert coup.
