That one. And Cataracts. And Gat Damn. Quite honestly, it's the most complete piece of music that Gibbs has put together, and I'm thrilled with the thing. To me it's significantly better than its predecessor, which I think slowed down significantly in the second half (honestly, "Lakers" and "Knicks" didn't need to be there). That was also a record where Gibbs I think didn't quite show off much of his raw ability: He's always been able to switch speeds on a dime and fall into these jaw-dropping, super melodic Bone Thugs/Z-Ro-esque runs, and that's relatively absent on Piñata: The rapping is straightforward and, as always, excellent, but it's all kinda restrained by his standards.
Bandana is a great summation of almost everything he can do, with a wider range of what Madlib can do, also. It's one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard on a rap album.

One day I hope someone looks at me the way white people look at Freddie Gibbs.

You Gritty though, you bigger than Wu Tang.
Yeah, it's not bad. Rodeo is okay too, just not when you're high. Gave me a headache in that case.
Yo, this was the jam last year. Used to have it right before Throwing Shade by Lil Baby in my playlist and would laugh as one lead synth changed to another.

4th NF album just dropped. AOTY for me out of 19 tracks a majority of them have a ton of replay value. He should blow after this, newest video has just 100k less than the new travis scott video that released a day prior.
you wont get the symbolism in the video visually if you have not followed the last three albums and videos. The beat and flow is dope though.

I was just coming in here to post this. Everything about this album is like the best parts of 90s hip hop.

Coloring Book is legit one of my favourite albums and... The Big Day is... so bad. Like it actually hurts my soul that that's what he came out with. It has zero heart and feels like he just slapped a bunch of random happy tracks together and called it a day. I only cared for the intro track.

100%, there's quite a bit of diversity in his tracks on this album. Leave Me Alone is my favourite so far. And as someone who deals with mental health problems this album is just that much better since it resonates with me a lot.

I agree. it is very relatable music to a vast majority of people.this is something a bit different and it really works as the beat selection is just on a different level.

I've legit never listened to NF but have seen the name here and there for a couple years. I got the album loaded up on Spotify for later.

If you enjoy the journey the prior albums are great as well. The man can spit.
