I wrote about Freddie Gibbs & Madlib’s brilliant Piñata over at Cypher League recently. Didn’t have space to fit this sentiment in, but if someone put a gun to my head and told me to choose any living rapper to rap for my life, Gibbs would probably be the second person I think of. If you’re only behind Andre 3000 on a verse-to-verse basis, that’s very solid. I’d put the album just above good kid, m.A.A.d city and just behind My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on a list of the decade’s best hip-hop albums. Go listen to “Deeper” and “Robes” on repeat and then spin the whole album a few times for good measure.
