Is it me or does Freddie Gibbs talk about the same 3 things in every song?
Yea he’s got nice wordplay and rapping skills but content wise he’s no better than the next man
Maybe is just this album where he’s especially redundant
Not sure what yall expecting from a nikka like Kane. Everybody not about to be on some 4:44 shyt, and rightfully so. I'd rather you not talk about it if you gotta force it, as itll just come off disingenuous.
nikkas like Pusha and Fred are who they are. And even still, I could still provide about a dozen or more songs each that would be introspective or reflective in some regard. Maybe not to the direct message you may possibly feel you wanna hear, but introspective nonetheless.
Raekwon can drop an album right now and I guarantee you its gon sound like the Purple Tape, even after all these years later, and yet nikkas not gonna complain. Gibbs & Pusha make that "talk that shyt" rap and sprinkle some "honest" moments that dive a little deeper behind who they are here and there. And that should be good enough given their skill level.
“Gangster rap reveals the pathology of its creators,”
Some painters stick to one style and roll with that to the end while some painters encompass a variety of styles, experiement with different approaches. I think nikkas like Gibbs and Pusha are the best at what they do and rather then challenge themselves subject matter wise, they chose to do so production wise which gives their art a different 'feel' each time which is good enough for me. Now, if they were talking some shyt outside of their music and their art wasn't reflective or indicative of that same growth, there might be another convo to be had.
You can do this with every rapper damn near.Is it me or does Freddie Gibbs talk about the same 3 things in every song?

I would have agreed with you on some past Gibbs projects but there are multiple tracks here with depth of topic. Stuff like Something To Rap About, Skinny Suge, Babies & Fools etc aren't about super thug shyt. On Bandana there are multiple personal tracks as well like Practice I'd accept this criticism of Pusha since that's virtually all he raps about but Gibbs has expanded.
Redman has all time great charisma and voice
I think more rap fans would agree with pusha. Gibbs is an aquired taste

this all this, it’s not a ton of rappers that put out a ton of content and they just talking about everything under the sun, you talk about what you know/seen/heard he has some tracks that he talks about being Muslim, he talks about dying in all this chaos on this album, people just like to box folks in and speak without thinking

except pusha giving verses today that r interchangeable w/ when he first came out. gibbs is a better artist w/ more quality projects id add. his rhymes are alot more personal too. hell have some shame or self deprecation behind his stories rather than coming off some character, superhero. almost the type of content youd get from malice before pusha.
