Freddie Gibbs - $oul $old $eparately (Discussion Thread)

I thought Ross complimented the song well. His flow was dope

The Ross verse was fine to me. Not his very best, but not mailed in either.

It doesn't sound too bad after a couple more listens but the song could have been a 10.

Dope project

Freddie is like the only Gibbs project that I don't fukk with. And I like Kenny Beats too, but that shyt was a dudd.

Yea I was late to Freddie Gibbs as a whole, listened to Pinata years late, then Bandana, then went to Freddie. Listening to Freddie I was like….this ain’t what I wanted.

I like the introspective Freddie not trap Freddie. Ie the best song on Freddie by far is Diamonds and it’s not trap Freddie. So yea when he gets in his ‘real music’ bag he’s untouchable. Alfredo and this album is that untouchable Freddie

like I said before, for a rapper that raps with a lot of flash and pizzazz, bar wise he is pretty boring and nothing is really memorable/sticks.
I do like his rapping on the majority of this album though.. couple joints on here were he's gets real descriptive and paints a good picture

I thought this was ass but second listen in a different setting this is pretty good

shyts kind of mid up to Rabbit Vision and from that song onwards it gets really good.

Album
Is dope. Doubted he can put together a dope album without heavy production from madlib and al

Proved me wrong

 

[YakSpiller]

I fukk with Gibbs but I don’t care for this so far. I’m only half way thru though.

The mixing on this sucks

Bruh I was finna say this is mixed terribly but I’m listening on AirPods so I was go wait to I got in the car to see if I was trippin.

That first song sounded like it wasn’t mixed at all.

Freddie Gibbs Wants to Set the Record Straight

It feels like you’re very confessional on this album, just like how you are in real life. From our talk, you are clearly not the person these people try to portray you as on social media and the headlines.You got guys like Akademiks that try to paint a certain picture of me and immediately try...

Pretty honest interview here. Says pretty much what we all know too, how he's with the porn chick cuz she lets him fukk other bytches

Also talks more about the Jeezy shyt - says the beef came from his own insecurity basically and overcompensating

exactly how I felt with the album, he actually had something to say with the second half of the album, even though its not anything we havent heard from gibbs before.

I try not complain about this stuff way too much but it's definitely the weakest part of the album. There's a couple joints where the vocals sound low and muddy in my car and also headphones, and the volume on a couple of tracks seems kind of low. CIA sounded real quiet in my head phones but fine in the car.

Mixing doesn't usually bug me way too much. I really like the album but yeah it could be tighter.
