@LOST IN THE SAUCE thats a great list of collab albums

But again most of those are still one-offs. Ie Freeway and Jake one :banderas: Talib and Tek projects were years apart…Wale collab’d with 9th and then went back to his normal releases.

So that’s why I worded my post the way I did, Spitta wasn’t the first, but he was the main one going to multiple producers. Blu may have did that but tbh I never heard of those other collabs. Most folk thought Blu & Exile was a group, and he fell off a cliff after their album

At that time doing a collab was major it was a stand alone thing you did a press run single video etc. it woulda have been taboo to do a project and 6 months later do one with another producer. Ie Buckshot or Murs with 9h that was their whole identity at that time. Spitta went against the grain treated it like just another tape which is how we see it done today.

And actually I’m a huge fan of Gibbs.I listen to Gibbs now more than spitta now. He just doesn’t have a point here.
My point was Gibbs didn't copy Spitta's formula, he was just doing the hot thing at the time. Spitta is in a class of his own when it comes to output.

Honestly I think you kind of made Gibbs point for him. It was standard to do the press run, single, video etc. Collabs are normally treated as major, all that. Curren$y just disregarded that and did shyt like he was working by himself.

I listen to both, I'm just looking at the situation objectively.

The thing is yes Gibbs causes a lot of his problems and stays in goofy beefs but I actually agree with him when it comes to Fetti. Fetti is a classic album that deserved so much more than it got

When it comes to Fetti Gibbs and Spitta had an ideological misunderstanding. You can tell that Gibbs felt like Spitta is lazy. Now we all know he's anything but lazy, but it's easy to make that distinction based on certain factors

Currensy is a hippie that creates and releases music then forgets about it. That's a conflict when you look at how somebody like Gibbs treats his projects. When Gibbs releases an album he's going hard on social media, making skits, dressing up, creative videos and all that so I can understand him feeling a way about none of that existing for Fetti.

Alchemist had a similar issue with Spitta in 2011 with Covert Coupe. Alc had all these plans for the album, only to wake up one day and see the shyt on Livemixtapes:dahell: they patched it up obviously but I always understood why Alc was mad about that shyt:russ:

Spitta one of my all time GOATs but as a fan his curation issues can be frustrating because his work could be SO much more than what it is. He may be the most consistent rapper ever but he has DOZENS of classic records that are just out in the wind because they didn't receive any more attention from the day they were released



It's forever:dahell: to me that there were never videos for shyt like




And I know me or anyone else in this thread could post 50 more songs like this that just exist in the Spitta Abyss:francis:

And I think Spitta somewhat understood where Gibbs was coming from because after Gibbs made them comments about Fetti in 2019 Spitta did step up his video output. But man Spitta's entire ecosystem could be so much more:wow:

The ALC story doesn't jive with what he's said on multiple podcasts. He said the label was going to shelve it because of sample clearances but Spitta convinced him to release it for "free" with a merch collab with Diamond Supply

Yeah theres a big interview he did last year where they were running into issues, they were gonna get shelved and Spitta put the thing together with Diamond and it sold out in like 2 days. It's what put ALC onto the whole "you can just cut the label out and sell direct to your fanbase" style that basically runs the whole game outside of majors now.

I don't have a timestamp, but it's in this interview. Dope interview, worth watching if you're an ALC fan:


Actually go to like 29:30
