Performance: Freddie Gibbs – “Soul Right†(Video)
March 26, 2020
I can’t hold no grudges. My hands is too busy catching blessings.
BLESS!
So Freddie just dropped off all kinds of fire for Vevo when he fell through to do some Ctrl recording, huh? Check that. He performed that for The Nation! Us. We are The Nation. The Hip-Hop Nation! Click above and get your “Soul Right.”
Wanna know where the hotness is? Go to the fans. The Hip-Hop outlet Ambrosia For Heads did just that when they asked people to assess last year’s best Hip-Hop discs. The results rang out: Freddie Gibbs’ album with Madlib, ‘Bandana,’ ruled. The Midwest rapper’s collab with the SoCal producer is a great mix of perspectives. Gibbs’ street attitude and natural grit meshes well with Mad’s cinematic sounds (check “Massage Seatsâ€) and deep beats. A followup to 2014’s acclaimed ‘Piñata’ disc, ‘Bandana’ is a powerhouse that swerves from lane to lane without fretting about its exact location at any given moment. “I’m not no boom-bap rapper or whatever the f**k that sh*t is,†Freddie recently told GQ. “I’m not a trap rapper. You can’t really put me in a box, man.†‘Cept for that one in our Brooklyn studio. Gibbs said yes to Vevo’s Ctrl invite, and came to crush “Cataracts†and “Soul Right,†two of Bandana’s hottest tracks. Feel free to share ’em.

Andre 3000 x Madlib – “Otis Benjamin 2.0” (MadStacks) [Album]
December 20, 2019
WHO could have seen this coming? Not a dope mashup project from Altered Crates. That’s just what they do. Meaning who saw this particular combination working on wax (you know what I mean).
Andre 3000 & Madlib perfectly blended. Enjoy!
As the world continues to wait for Andre 3000’s solo album, Altered Crates delivers the next best thing; Otis Benjamin 2.0 – Blending together many of Andre’s standout verses and features, including unreleased acapellas, with the Californian beat-master and mad-genius, Madlib. The Outkast MC’s signature flow meshes perfectly with Madlib’s eclectic style. Includes appearances by Big Boi, Pimp C, Nas, Raekwon, Snoop Dogg, Devin The Dude & Q-Tip.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib (Video)
December 9, 2019
I like this whiskey in my cup. We not givin’ a f**k…
‘Skinny Suge’ and Madlib make their way to the studio for a Tiny Desk concert. And everything is right with the world. Actually, it went a little left, starting jazzy then lyrics went HARD. But that makes things even ‘righter’ (haha)!
This Freddie Gibbs and Madlib Tiny Desk performance was a year in the making, largely because Madlib insisted on playing with El Michels Affair, a vintage funk and soul band based out of New York. But it was worth the wait. When pianist Marco Benevento opened with a delicate, almost jazzy run, it created the perfect opening — and juxtaposition — for hard-hitting emcee, Gibbs to jump in and ride the hell out of that beat.

Freddie Gibbs x Madlib – “Gat Damn” (Video)
November 26, 2019
You keep my wife’s meatloaf out your mouth, n!gga…
Why not start with a hard, pimpin’ hard, hilarious clip for your music video? Especially when you know the beats and barz are coming just as hard (pause? yeah, pause that).
The hits keep coming off “Bandana,” don’t they? Yes indeed! And the visual approach to this is super-DOPE, too (as usual).

MED x Blu x Madlib – “The Turn Up” (EP)
November 21, 2017
Soooo… how’d you feel about an EP that hit you with banging azz Beatz & Lyrics, then left you with a couple of beats to bob to and play with… AND a couple of a capellas to let you know that the team ain’t to be played with? Well, that’s what you get on “The Turn Up,” so like it or learn to LOVE it! Dope!

Marvelous Mag – “Sade” (Letters From A Hethen) [Prod. By Madlib]
June 25, 2016
Marvelous continues his love-for-Women tributes as he drops this Madlib-produced track entitled “Sade” aka Letters From A Hethen. This is the smooth jazzy like sound that we’ve come accustomed to hear from Mr. Marvelous. The song explains what guys want to say to their lady when she’s upset and not understanding that he is not a normal Man and is doing what he can to be a gentleman and a street dude. He jumps on this unreleased Madlib track like the 2 were in the studio together and the beat was made for him. So sit back relax and listen to the sounds of Mr. Marvelous.

Latest greatest release from the lost LP (“The Diary”) from the late great J Dilla. This one’s “The Sickness” (produced by Madlib). Aptly named, you’ll agree, with Nas going ill on the track like that.
