5 years late but can't agree on scarface murdering him, that second verse from gibbs is easily my favourite of his. Hits hard, especially hearing it from someone like him
Hands down best song on the album, still can play this on loop for a good min. Why is this song so underrated? Scarface feature is dope, instrumental goes in, this song is a classic. I really hope bandanna has another track like this man.
I think this song is fantastic and should be included in any modern black poetry discourse. The song captures so much of the desperation of the hood, as well as the environmental vices and valuelessness of life. As a result, the song offers a glimpse of a brutalized community with a sincere vision of the mindset of those black men who are caught up in the everyday hustle for survival.
@@pac_0183 Versace, No Vacancy, Allah Sent Me and 327. Shawn vs Flair gotta be an honourable mention too. Versace’s goated tho, made a music video of it I like it that much lol His first album’s great too and gotta be my second favourite WSG album
We all know that Gangsta Gibbs & Madlib are shining like gems on this track, but can we please show some love for Scarface too, because his verse brings the pure realness!!
logic is a better rapper than most but his music is so repetitive. as far as content it's all the same and the bars are actually pretty simple he just uses a fast flow, he's above average so he's good but not anything special.
is u serious. that is where hip hop starts and ends for you. man so many dope rapers still dripping dope shit every year they just not mainstream way better than all u mentioned. go listen to the grass class and apologies collaboration album. the control freak album by Tash go listen to. ricanstruction the black rosary album by Chino XL go listen to. weather or not album by Evidence. listen to. In search of stoney Jackson album by Strong Arm Steady
just hearing this man for the first time today like WTF! .. loving every track ive heard so far!! good hip hop just gets swept under the rug now a dayz its a shame. BIG UP FREDDIE N MADLIB** keep this type of music coming..
bandana, the follow up to this album which is also very good in its own right, is just the second album of an alleged three-part Freddie + MadLib album trilogy. So more fire from these two to come in this decade THEY AIN'T DONE YET.
Lyrics: (verse 1) Yeah, Allah the merciful, the beneficent Curse over blessing, pray it be heaven sent Forgive me, my dirty deeds was desperate Fuck the government, I got my own deficit Death to me the only thing that's definite Money rule the world, but when you dead that shit's irrelevant Fingers numb from coka selling, no vote, but out for presidents Granny found my dope, I told her I would stop for selling it Nigga please -- she knew I was lying before I even spoke it Empty promises left them all broken She said Jamel, I can tell your perspective out of focus You too obsessed with the liquor, bitches and weed smoking A young nigga that's been thugging since the old days Promise I've done seen everything but old age Pray my demons never catch up from my old ways Keep the heat cause I was going through a cold phase Uh yeah Keep the heat cause I was going through a cold phase Promise I've done seen everything but old age (verse 2) Surviving off cold cuts and cold Spam Can't see eye to eye with my old man Hiding my insecurities with this gang flag We both despise the police, but he wore the same badge And as I child I admired that, now I wonder how He was a pig, but you was barely making 20 thou I guess that's why you put me on that lick for 20 pounds A life of crime is all we ever shared from then to now And I'm a crook and you crooked, that's all we got in common He chunked the deuce to my mama, so much for family bonding But how could something so destined to be just get demolished? Running through groupies and whoppers, I guess I got it honest And honestly I know I'm out here fucking up Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts And seven bucks an hour wasn't good enough Cause seven days a week I'm living in a rush Seven days a week I'm living in a rush Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts (Scarface) And the money was the root to what the evil is It's mandatory for me to live I hustle harder than the next dude Remember, everybody is out to get you Niggas don't respect to live and let live So I pack a .40 caliber cause that's how shit is Out here, no fear, fuck feelings Trigger man rule, that's the art of drug dealing I'm trying to stack my money to the ceiling No new friends, don't wanna talk about old business Sex on the beach, sipping Guinness With a bitch so thick she can't take no dick Imagine working grave-yard shifts Lost friends steady talking that shit A million a day is for minimum wage Work a nigga like a slave 'til he put him in his grave Frail moments, same page (Seven days a week I'm living in a rush Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts)
I remember the year this came out it was by far my most played album according to Spotify, not my fault it's so good, returning to it over time gotta say this is the best song on the album next to Lakers, this Scarface feature is so special I couldn't get tired of it if I tried
This has so much “awaken my love” vibes I can’t believe how much it reminds me of redbone and the harmonies in the background sound exactly like Glover, like scarily alike
Bruh, it’s called funk? It’s been around forever and madlib loves to mash soul, funk, and psychedelic. But I guess your brain dictating genres by artist
Me and my brother used to know that Gibbs would never sell out. For that we appreciated him beyond his once in a generation magnetic flow and his natural connection of abstract thoughts into chronological logic. Now he does songs with Moneybagg Yo. Sometimes what we think we know we don’t. This album is the best I’ve ever heard if you subtract the discographies of Lupe and Kendrick Lamar.
Freddie has to be top 5 for flow at least at the moment. Maybe not on this song particularly, but on High, 1985, and so many other songs his flow and breath control are crazy
I'll be here when this track hits 1M views; now it's 741K. Issa Dope song plus the instrumental is BAM! "no new friends, don't wanna talk about old Business"
Me and my best friend lives in apartments next to each other he was 18 & me 19 and we trapped super hard all I listened to was this album and I remember grinding in the snow and what I didn’t know was the best moments of my life and now my friend passed away in a car accident this song ha a whole new feeling
Madlib produced a perfect beat for Freddie Gibbs & Scarfaces lyrics.The whole DOOM is better to be rapping over Madlibs beats is moronic, DOOM & 'Gibbs are chalk & cheese, you can't compare them, DOOMS in a lane all by hisself, thats partly what makes him so fuckin dope, but this is a class album that at times I would rather listen to for that street shit rather than DOOMS genious abstract wordplay.Sidenote-why Scarface isn't in most peoples top 10 lyricists of all time escapes me.He is a master storyteller lyricist when he's on his game &never less than dope unlike Nas at times who always gets a spot in a top 10, he'd be in mine aswell...just sayin'.
can someone tell me if that's an interpolation in the background from 1:11 to 1:30 or if it's original? if it's a sample, please let me know who it is so smooth
![Madvillain (MF DOOM & Madlib) - Rhinestone Cowboy [Official Music Video - 4k Remaster]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lWpRJK_z08I/mqdefault.jpg)
Damn, madlib better be mentioned in your top 5 producer
probably number one
Yall forget bout dj skee?
Kanye, Qtip, Madlib, Dilla, Pete Rock
With Premier being number 1 lol. Premo, Pete, Madlib, Dilla, 9th Wonder, & Doom
Lots of great producers and beats but when djs match up perfectly with the mcs...like Gibbs and Lib thats magic.
this track is a classic in my books. Fuck it, this whole album!!
I agree! This whole album is killer
Brittany kools I Agree
+1
Honestly, probably in my top 20 songs of all time.
top 15
Can't describe how much i love this song and it sucks it hasn't hit as hard for anyone I've played it for
@@eoin7664 I feel you bro, the beat is both nostalgic and ethereal at the same time, it takes an intelligent mind to pick up on stuff like that
@@eoin7664 The whole album is magic, hope it will be considered one of the best rap albums of all time
Top 100
I love how the flow is slow enough that you can sometimes hear Scarface hitting the blunt between bars.
Whoa didnt hear that
+SuprSilvr scarface only smokes zig zags bruv
Never noticed that, thank you
Scarface killed the song
good catch lmao
he made the song cry
littleafriccaa Yea me too. When we going to dinner?
juniornac1 lmao settle down cuz
bro im crying too for real
This song and deeper
Grown man tears too....
"Both despised police, but you wore the same badge." His feelings spill on this album
Gibbs said this was probably his favourite track on Piñata because of how personal it is + scarface murdering his verse. And that beat, good heavens!
I could’ve sworn he said his favorite was suno, but either is a good choice regardless
5 years late but can't agree on scarface murdering him, that second verse from gibbs is easily my favourite of his. Hits hard, especially hearing it from someone like him
@@eoin7664 He’s not saying Scarface murdered Freddie’s verse, he’s just saying Scarface had an amazing verse
@@BallKnower oh right i getchu
Hands down best song on the album, still can play this on loop for a good min. Why is this song so underrated? Scarface feature is dope, instrumental goes in, this song is a classic. I really hope bandanna has another track like this man.
shawnz12ss the whole album is fire but my top 3 is Real, Knicks, and Bomb
Soul Right is the Broken on Bandanna
It did
it did. practice
@@walkedoverwater major facts
there isnt a single bad song on this album. I can't believe I slept on this for 6 years smh shame on me.
Not the only one…
Heard it in 2016. Still listen to this album to this day
I barely found it in 2022, I feel lame af.
FOR REAL, i was in the beats at first but when you really listen it changes
Damn lol hey at least you found it. Hope you still bumping this 🔥🙏🏽
This song is art in its purest form
This song has perfect philosophical depth, and madlib accompanied it without pervading a single instant
I think this song is fantastic and should be included in any modern black poetry discourse.
The song captures so much of the desperation of the hood, as well as the environmental vices and valuelessness of life. As a result, the song offers a glimpse of a brutalized community with a sincere vision of the mindset of those black men who are caught up in the everyday hustle for survival.
wow!
Agreed
gorgeous.
true art.
Very well put. Thank you for the comment
Oliver Burt very well said
that 2nd verse gives me chills too
Yeah that shit was deep
The instrumental loop is upbeat but chillingly melancholy at the same time, it baffles me
Pray for Paris pfp? Best album I’ve heard, you got good taste my guy
@@psilopsychic the album is flawless my guy and the cover art just tops it off as one of my favourites.
@@pac_0183 whats your favourite track from the album
@@psilopsychic hard to choose one, I’d say no vacancy, Claiborne kick and Versace. What about you?
@@pac_0183 Versace, No Vacancy, Allah Sent Me and 327. Shawn vs Flair gotta be an honourable mention too. Versace’s goated tho, made a music video of it I like it that much lol
His first album’s great too and gotta be my second favourite WSG album
if you can relate this song in anyway, I'm sure it wasn't just a song, but a relief from whatever we dealing with everyday..this is too deep
“She knew I was lying before I even spoke, empty promises left em all broken” is such a painful line
A classic. This album is incredible
I got this on repeat riding out here in mexico
My favorite track off piñata. Too hard too real
same bro. perfection. kinda slept on for a pinata track this good
Seen everything but old age 🥶🥶🥶
From the heart. This is my favourite Gibbs tune man
AM i the only one super hyped about scarface's verse? so dope! awesome flow.
Yeah I think your the only one lol
im with you bro..nice word plays and nice voice..he kills freddie with his verse
"out here, no fear, fuck feelings,
trigger man rule thats the art of drug dealing"
Dcfolyffe fuck outta here. Scarface is a legend. his verse was awesome
No I fuck with it heavily
This is truly art. Like poetry at its finest and the best floats you along… fr one of the best songs ever
I heard this joint playing in a vegan pizzeria in Brooklyn. Nodded my head the whole time. So smooth and dope!!🔥🔥🔥
This for sure is one of them joints you hear in public and get lost in it.
Thats dope
y'all don't know the real sample from this beat, its Isaac Hayes - Wherever You Are
LucidBeats TELL EM DOG
+Lucid Soundz That sample was used in Live Nigga by Onyx in the All we got iz us immortal album.
Francesco Reale I knew I heard this beat from somewhere else!
Vince Staples Nate used this correct?
Prolific Pops devin the dude -we gettin high ft odd squad
This shit so goddamn smoove. The epitome of a great song/ album.
This song is the truth. Lyrics, Flows, Production. Excellence
“Honestly I know I’m out here fucking up” damn Freddie hit me hard with that one, bless up.
One of the best beats of the album
Damn.. One of the realest tracks I've heard in a while. Freddie Gibbs coming through as always. Reppin Indiana too. Naptown! lol
I listen to this song everyday at work
A million of days for minimum wage. Worked a nigga like a slave till they put him in his grave..
Freddie Gibbs is very inspirational and intelligent
keep the heat cause i was goin thru a cold phase
promise I done seen everything but old age..
Shit hits home a lil bit
We all know that Gangsta Gibbs & Madlib are shining like gems on this track, but can we please show some love for Scarface too, because his verse brings the pure realness!!
You could visualize that Shit! His verse was Cold As Fuck!!
This is what consider a hit song and rap at its core track,hook,lyrics,and content wrapped around a message...BEAUTIFUL!!!
Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badass, Big KRIT, Logic, and my dude Freddie Gibbs. As long as these guys keep making music hip hop will stay alive for me.
logic is a better rapper than most but his music is so repetitive. as far as content it's all the same and the bars are actually pretty simple he just uses a fast flow, he's above average so he's good but not anything special.
+Jujuman95
Solo hooooooooooooo
Bruce Kent lmao logic get the fuck out of here
And Danny Brown
is u serious. that is where hip hop starts and ends for you. man so many dope rapers still dripping dope shit every year they just not mainstream way better than all u mentioned. go listen to the grass class and apologies collaboration album. the control freak album by Tash go listen to. ricanstruction the black rosary album by Chino XL go listen to. weather or not album by Evidence. listen to. In search of stoney Jackson album by Strong Arm Steady
This WHOLE album is hot
Its rare ow if a rapper comes out wit an album where EVERY track is dope
Good Shit !
just hearing this man for the first time today like WTF! .. loving every track ive heard so far!! good hip hop just gets swept under the rug now a dayz its a shame. BIG UP FREDDIE N MADLIB** keep this type of music coming..
bandana, the follow up to this album which is also very good in its own right, is just the second album of an alleged three-part Freddie + MadLib album trilogy. So more fire from these two to come in this decade THEY AIN'T DONE YET.
'Keep the heat cause I was going through a cold phase' Jesus Christ Freddie 🔥🔥🔥
2 OF THE HARDEST RAPPERS TODAY.... HANDS DOWN ON THE SAME TRACK 🔥.
Album just gets better with time
2020 still banging, forever love this song
One of my favs off the album
One of my all time favorite Gibbs songs
Scarface came through with that realness
Word, one of my fav songs and features on the album
+Knowledge Of Self
scarface is that dude, top 5 all time imo
the usual from Uncle Face
Slid right in...
Always
Amazing Track....
Nice n chill
Just heard these two are doing a new joint called bandanna. Cant wait, pinata was my favorite joint to come out in a long long time
Damn this song is sick AF!!!! This on repeat for me
Lyrics:
(verse 1)
Yeah, Allah the merciful, the beneficent
Curse over blessing, pray it be heaven sent
Forgive me, my dirty deeds was desperate
Fuck the government, I got my own deficit
Death to me the only thing that's definite
Money rule the world, but when you dead that shit's irrelevant
Fingers numb from coka selling, no vote, but out for presidents
Granny found my dope, I told her I would stop for selling it
Nigga please -- she knew I was lying before I even spoke it
Empty promises left them all broken
She said Jamel, I can tell your perspective out of focus
You too obsessed with the liquor, bitches and weed smoking
A young nigga that's been thugging since the old days
Promise I've done seen everything but old age
Pray my demons never catch up from my old ways
Keep the heat cause I was going through a cold phase
Uh yeah
Keep the heat cause I was going through a cold phase
Promise I've done seen everything but old age
(verse 2)
Surviving off cold cuts and cold Spam
Can't see eye to eye with my old man
Hiding my insecurities with this gang flag
We both despise the police, but he wore the same badge
And as I child I admired that, now I wonder how
He was a pig, but you was barely making 20 thou
I guess that's why you put me on that lick for 20 pounds
A life of crime is all we ever shared from then to now
And I'm a crook and you crooked, that's all we got in common
He chunked the deuce to my mama, so much for family bonding
But how could something so destined to be just get demolished?
Running through groupies and whoppers, I guess I got it honest
And honestly I know I'm out here fucking up
Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts
And seven bucks an hour wasn't good enough
Cause seven days a week I'm living in a rush
Seven days a week I'm living in a rush
Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts
(Scarface)
And the money was the root to what the evil is
It's mandatory for me to live
I hustle harder than the next dude
Remember, everybody is out to get you
Niggas don't respect to live and let live
So I pack a .40 caliber cause that's how shit is
Out here, no fear, fuck feelings
Trigger man rule, that's the art of drug dealing
I'm trying to stack my money to the ceiling
No new friends, don't wanna talk about old business
Sex on the beach, sipping Guinness
With a bitch so thick she can't take no dick
Imagine working grave-yard shifts
Lost friends steady talking that shit
A million a day is for minimum wage
Work a nigga like a slave 'til he put him in his grave
Frail moments, same page
(Seven days a week I'm living in a rush
Seven grams of rock, I stuff 'em in my nuts)

Madlib the sample GOD🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽
incredible track for that boy gibbs great beat from madlib salute
This has so much “awaken my love” vibes I can’t believe how much it reminds me of redbone and the harmonies in the background sound exactly like Glover, like scarily alike
on god that sounds just like Gambino
Bruh, it’s called funk? It’s been around forever and madlib loves to mash soul, funk, and psychedelic. But I guess your brain dictating genres by artist
@@julianserene This came out first???
One of my favorite songs so many to choose from tho!!!
'Seven bucks an hour wasn't good enough...'
Todays $25 an hour ain’t good enough now 😂
💯
So seven days a week I'm living in a RUT
@jaythompson8061 the more things change, the more they stay the same
The song I come back to in this album. Always. Just the title alone. Broken. And Scar's verse. Jesus christ.
still knocking this like it dropped yesterday!!!!
"n ima crook n he crooked thats all we got in common" Real shit
This beat put tears to my eyes...hiw can beat be this beautiful?
Such a great combination. Madlib set the tone. Gibbs and Face craved out a work of art.
Madlib GOAT of beats
One of my favourite tracks of all time :)
This album is so good, damn
Me and my brother used to know that Gibbs would never sell out. For that we appreciated him beyond his once in a generation magnetic flow and his natural connection of abstract thoughts into chronological logic. Now he does songs with Moneybagg Yo. Sometimes what we think we know we don’t. This album is the best I’ve ever heard if you subtract the discographies of Lupe and Kendrick Lamar.
Favourite off the album
Wow Gibbs killed it sick production as always by Madlib has to be like in the top 3 producers!!
this song is so real, helps you roll with the punches
Freddie has to be top 5 for flow at least at the moment. Maybe not on this song particularly, but on High, 1985, and so many other songs his flow and breath control are crazy
This damn song is wayy way to relatable... I love it..
There is an element of this beat that's reminiscent of Live Niguz by Onyx
Use to stay up all night playing this album back and forth 🔥 Good Times
People sleep so fucking hard on this album. A classic in the making.
You know you doing something right when get a Scarface feat
💯
Probably my favorite off the album-- whole thing was badass though-- favorite hip hop of the year thus far. I also liked the Open MIke Eagle LP...
Love it. Flawless.
I'll be here when this track hits 1M views; now it's 741K. Issa Dope song plus the instrumental is BAM! "no new friends, don't wanna talk about old Business"

Side note about Scarface is the truth. Dude can spit a story like no other. The song Never Seen a Man Cry
Madlib should do 1 more joint with gangsta gibbs
you mean a whole album! this is a gold mine
+Draven Miller yeh thats what i ment
Your wish has been granted, bandana !
+Soul Brown W Madlib heard your prayer
+Draven Miller straight up dude. bot one bad song on this right here :00
Can't tell you how many blunts I've burnt listening to this. This song is meditation.
Was smoking a joint to this a while ago shit was trippy
lol
One of the best rap songs ever
dope track the beat is crazy....
Scarface has so much conviction in his voice. It's like your old homie from the block dropped knowledge.
The brilliant idea of bringing face mob to the song
Best song on the album man, still bumpin in 2020
Remember everybody's out to get you...The only rapper I know that brings reasonable reality to paranoia.
I'm feeling this FIBA, burning smooth.
"Niggas don't respect to live and let live
So I pack a 40 caliber because that's how shit is"
Real ass shit right there homie.
My favorite song by gibbs
This that shit right here.. Best rap song of the year candidate
весь альбом гениален!!!!!!!
Ridiculous joint right here...
I onow right KG...all west coast
can someone tell me if that's an interpolation in the background from 1:11 to 1:30 or if it's original? if it's a sample, please let me know who it is
so smooth
Back then I thought that was madlib singing lmao. He just looked like the type of dude to sing like that
@@dirtybirdxx word!! lol
To this day i still wonder 😭😭 I’ve always thought it sounds like Gambino when he be singing…
