Freddie Gibbs x Alchemist - Alfredo (Discussion Thread)

For sure, and Lupe probably spent the most of my life thus far as my favorite rapper, so that’s as far as I’ll take the convo out of love and respect for two greats some convos aren’t worth it

I hear you. If Lupe is your favorite rapper than that’s that.
But objectively, you can’t put Lupe over LL, G Rap, KRS, Kane, Slick Rick, Chuck D, Melle Mel, Cube, Face, Face, etc. or at least you should be able to see the argument.

Admittedly he’s not my favorite anymore, I don’t have a favorite anymore. Too much good music comes out for me to pick one I think Lupe’s career betrayed his pen, but skill-wise I would put him up with just about anybody

This off topic but I mad this album hasn't dropped yet . If talib kweli and mos def don't drop black star 2 whole album produced by madlib . This would be the perfect time to drop that album. Drop the damn album ...and I heard it been finished

 

[kdslittlebro]

Ended up copping the comic imma frame it over the turntable I’m sure there will be a PDF I can look at if I really want to

He really is the new Scarface

Gibbs is probably the most overrated rapper recently. No verse of the year contender. Not classic guest spots. People saying he has the best discography of the 2010s lol.

Case in point. Nothing even close to thought provoking, introspective and storytelling like face

Name 10 rappers with a better 2010s discography. Rappers, not mumble singers. Not hybrid artists.

No classic guest spots?

He doesn’t do many features but he’s got some fire ones breh. This here is one of the best guest verses of the decade.

Kendrick the only one I'd consider honestly

Those are the two verses I was about to name too. Both great verse of the year contenders.

I think when we get any semblance of “rap” or something that’s “lyrical”. We overrate. But Gibbs benefits from great production and a nice flow above all else. Lacks hooks, lacks creativity, lacks content, lacks versatility, lacks quotables. Maybe it’s because we are living in an era where mainstream rap is water down cookie cutter shyt so it’s easier to stand out if your a true emcee but top 10 all time this and best rapper alive that. I don’t see or hear it.

Both dope tracks but let’s be serious.
