Writing, vocals, instrumentation and concept are all a lot stronger than on their previous albums, feels like they're really starting to realise their identity.
This is a step up from their first album but it's pretty explicit in most tracks they haven't quite fleshed out their sound yet leading to some songs sounding a bit empty.
Gibbles is a bit noticeably has better performances than Curren$y but overall they both do great on Al's production which is pretty good on this but not his best
Imagine getting shot 9 times with a Tech-9 in an alleyway and the guy who did it goes on to release FLFM
Gonna compile all of Freddie Gibbs' lyrics into a book and call it the Gibble
It's the same old bladee but at this point in his career that isn't keeping me interested anymore esp when the performances and production aren't anything wowing either
Even with the stale performances and a sort of underwhelming last stretch, this is still pretty good. I really just can’t see what merits this album’s score being lower than BBC but it is what it is.
This is so out of place in his discog 😭 so is that 7th song tho
Kinda underrated it should be a few points higher imo
