Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana (Discussion Thread)

[Antdrewjosh]

Or I have my own opinion. He's not fukking with Benny when it comes to the street rap shyt.

What does one have to do with the other??

situations is crazyyyyyyyyyyy ....that second verse

Was just coming in here to post about this track. This shyt is hard as fukk. Is it just me or does the beat sound like it has a bone thugs sample?....with them demonic ass voices in the back. Gibbs is even using the signature bone flow at certain times. And he repeats the phrase "young and thuggin" throughout the track....is Gibbs payin homage


Or maybe I'm reaching.....But fukk it....even if it's not bone I'm still gonna pretend it is because it makes the track even doper to me

I really like Killer Mike's hook on Palmolive, fits and sounds so perfect

Stone heart jewels and gold for the fools
The bones of the innocent is buckles on they boots
The jail is overcrowded, they emptied out the school
See the devil twitchin', ears itchin’ from the truth
Strange fruit, cyanide souffle and soup
It's tasty for a few and murder for the group
A dead-end street with a lemonade stand
Where is the sky in upside down land?


mighty mos probably got the best verse on the album b

Black thought is just incredible man. It don't make sense how he just keeps getting better. His flow was smoother in the 90's, but his verses have more substance today. It's like every fukkin line is potent.


Peace parishioners, onlookers, and listeners
Visitors keepin' the consumption conspicuous
Kids graduatin' from public schools and prisoners
Underprivileged, aboriginal, indigenous
Sent images of that family that got adopted
The president of some nonprofits is out of pocket
I heard the world ending is trendin', I tried to watch it
I focused on sinnin’ when winnin' was not an option
The system we compete against is farm to table hand
Pickin' them ingredients, civil disobedience
Encyclopedia definition of greediness
Gluttony, please take heed of who you treaty with
Me, Freddie, Flaco, and Shot never forgot though
That Plymouth Rock landed on top of new Morocco
Couldn't see who was firin' shots, the shooter got low
And left a burnin' cross on the lawn just like a pothole
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
They sayin the six bands are higher for the flight
So I may be a hitman for hire for the night
If you're figurin' this man's maniacal, you're right
Bar codes on the wristband, it's not an oversight
They intentionally expand, probably to extradite
If you wanna play blind, just look straight into the light
The puppeteers playin' you for spite
And worldwide, what we're payin' is the price
And that's life



Jesus fukkin christ

Betty Fibbs really stepped his game up

I can't even shyt on him like I used to back in the day

 

[ReggieFlare]

Yeah...this is my AOTY at the moment. After a few listens even the tracks I didn't care for like Crime Pays, Massage Seats, and Cataracts have grown on me heavy. Got the album stuck on repeat, might be a few days until I switch to something else.
