this album is so fire brehs, i keep putting it on at the office and stopping bc its got me actin a fool waaaaaay too much

Ima get hated on for this but can we stop leaving all the vinyl crackle in.....I know nikkas think it adds to the ambience or vintage vibe but if you dont mix it right, it just sounds like shyt. Same shyt applied to a few traccs on Tyler's album.

It's 2019, we don't need to fake a vibe with "analog" shyt. We fukkn with that clean sound nowaday

I should’ve read this before responding to your last post.

C’mon man. Let us old folks enjoy that shyt.

It’d be one thing if you said this about Apollo Brown (who I like but he forces static and crackling sounds into almost every single beat he makes) but with Madlib it’s actually from the records he’s sampling.

It doesn’t sound like shyt. At the risk of sounding again...hip-hop isn’t supposed to sound so too clean. Definitely not this type of hip-hop.

Ive been stuck on "Fake Names" "Situations" for 45 mins

By the way .... BUY THE fukkING ALBUM.

Already pre-ordered the Vinyl and CD.

 

[Waterproof]

With all the mixing/mastering programs we have nowadays, crackle can easily be removed or at least minimized. You also don't have to sample off vinyl. I don't sample off records anymore bc lot of that shyt was too loud.

And secondly yeah buy a reissue copy. them nikkas got $

I don't wanna complain too much, I just like to show both sides rather than just be a fanboy

THIS SHYT IS OFFICIAL. I like this better than Pinata overall besides the first two traks, this shyt is much more cohesive

nikka this is hip hop, we stay true to the essence and Madlib is a gate keeper we like our hip hop Dusty.

The GOAT Dre Spoiled y'all nikkas

I couldn't really listen to this when I was getting ready for work this morning but I heard a Pusha T adlib and had to wait until I could hear it clearly. He killed that shyt. This album would get some play from me tonight when I hit the gym and can listen right.

Education is what they play when you enter Heaven

 

[reservoirdogs]

Madlib is a genius at creating a soundscape for an album and Gibbs can rap on anything, he has infinite flows. On this one there are many kind of beats you can imagine totally different kind of rapper rapping on them but it still sounds cohesive and of course Gibbs can rap on them all.

 

[904]

he just started bodying shyt at daytona?





mans been on a 2 decade run.

I know man. We need a MadAlan project of some sort.


True. But something is different. Now he’s rapping from a certified OG perspective and I dig it even more. He’s definitely got “something” that’s hard to put into words from Daytona to now.

Yeah..

Feel like I'm missing a feature.. He's absolutely destroying shyt effortlessly..

My face scrunched up hard at work when that line came up. I jumped up and walked out of my office semi running down the hall. People thought something was wrong with me. I just told them "BANDANA"

 

[BlackDroog]

Love it. No complaints. We've been waiting for so long and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Those features too...

Flawless victory caliber album here. Not sure what more you would want from Gibbs & Madlib especially after "Pinata"
