Would argue better replayability from Gibbs
Wouldn't argue that at all. He's pretty one dimensional subject wise. He made good music with limitations and his Achilles heel was always the gangsta act which put a glass ceiling on his ability to truly peak as an artist. He's always in character and that's what eventually set him back because his real life wasn't matching his persona..

Post Kanye the rap game opened up a lane for rappers to be themselves in a way that hadn't been seen since the native tongues. That was his revolutionary contribution to rap and the symbolism of his defeat of 50 cent. Rappers like Freddie Gibbs are self defeating and self limiting. And the fact is the numbers present no such argument, replayability is a metric you can see in stream numbers

Man first listen this is better than SSS which was a dope ass album. This is like the exact type of production I love to hear him over. :wow: Samples on ruthless and anniversary are crazy.

Edit: looks like he’s no longer on a major? Probably less pressure and a easier process to get the music complete and released.
