He’s still the best rapper by definition imo. Hasn’t sold out, hasn’t changed his sound or vibe, still makes rolling deep bangers. Dudes boss, lived the life, brings it forward without overly bragging.
Nah Pinata will always edge over Bandana he flows too well on those beats and there is not one miss 17/17 Bandana I just feel doesnt match exactly what I loved about Pinata but doesn't change the fact its the best rap album of 2019 and Alfredo is something I didn't know I needed outta Freddie hopefully the third installment Montana lives up to its predecessors
When on my vacation in Europe in 2014 I was 13 years old. At that time Piñata dropped and I illegally downloaded it on my phone and I knew that first listen, I found something special, I went back and downloaded all of Freddie’s projects and bumped them through my months stay. Now I’m 20 and I’ve followed Gibbs throughout his career and I can’t believe how much he’s grown and I love that other people appreciate him too
I'm not even 7 mins in the video, and i love the new "realism" editing with the cutouts and pics of FG face on them! This is NOTHING like other music video essays ever! It's so natural and more personal imo, I wouldn't trade it back for the OG Digital Visuals ever!!!
Gibbs has the most complete discography and is the most versatile rapper since hov, his flow and lyrics is unmatched and his MO is just perfect because he sticks to a single producer and concept and it just goes perfect
As an incredibly huge Gibbs fan, I have to say as much as I love Alfredo, Piñata has to be one of his most perfect albums. It's an absolute timeless masterpiece that I haven't stopped playing since release, and have no plan to stop in the future 🔥
@@godwarrior3403 According to Pitchfork " 'Illmatic' arguably remains Nas' shining rap moment and, unbelievably, the rapper was only 17 when he started recording it. " As it was released when he was 20, I'm guessing the writing, recording and finding a label took several years. Through this time he changed his name from Kid Wave to Nasty Nas as well I believe.
@@BookwormCowboy Yeah he probably wrote one or two of those songs at 17. He didn't record illmatic at 17. You're misrepresenting it and you know it. Freddie's songs are also stronger than anything on Illmatic. That album is legend for being revolutionary for the time, it doesn't hold up as anything that hasn't been outdone
Ever time I watch videos on this channel I realize that it is really one of its own kind.. please keep making videos, channels like this are what keeps me coming back to youtube!!

I've been listening to Gangsta GIbb's for a lil over 10 years, I went to see him in shows every time he came to my city; whether you agree if he's the best rapper or not, it's without a doubt that there is no other rapper like Freddie Gibbs. A tremendously versatile artist, for me he's one of a kind & I feel privileged to have seen his growth & success over the years. He's my GOAT
I was EARLY as hell on Freddie Gibbs. Im so happy for him that hes finally getting the recognition he deserves. The man has been killing for YEARSSSSS!!!
The new handmade feel of the video is really cool. The format of cut out paper is really fun to watch, and as always, the content is entertaining and educational.
At this point I'm really thinking about completely staying off TH-cam and only watching nebula. Cause YT is just been downhill for years. Phenomenal video as always Volk, love to see Gibbs get shine.
I been fucking with Freddie for a minute and the fact that other people are starting to give this man the recognition he deserves makes you feel like we all made it. Big Lord Bunny Rabbit 💪💪
I didn't know about Freddie until Shadow of a Doubt, and hell, I gotta say this dude's one of the best rappers I've ever heard. Bandana and Pinata are one of my most played albums, and I'm looking forward to Montana. He literally never misses, every album is a classic.
No rapper will ever touch Kendrick, To Pimp A Butterfly alone was enough to put Kendrick in his own lane, lightyears ahead of any rapper. He made an ART piece. Besides, I don’t see why Black artists are always pitted against each other like to undermine one’s talents is to uplift another. Freddie is dope AF... Cole is dope AF. There are many others I could mention but you get my point. Let people make the art that touches them and their base. There CAN be more than 1 King. Just learn how to rule over your domain.
@@GoldenGraham25 tpab is untouchable. And it's not to undermine any ones talents it's just the unique nature of hip-hop that's always been competitive and that's what drives the culture forward
they are both great, if i had to pick between the two I pick Freddie every time just because he is SO FUCKING SLEPT ON and also he has released quite a bit more music
Freddie Gibbs one of the greatest of all time been a fan since 2007 have seen Freddie in concert 6 times from when he only had a couple dozen people at his shows to watching him sell out a big venue and rock the stage with madlib
Kendrick, Freddie gibbs & big krit are best in the game right now. They been the best in the game on the low for the last decade. People just now getting on gibbs. And still sleeping on krit.
Been messing with Freddie since miseducation and B.F.K. I must say it's so very exciting to see how far he has come, saw him live with tech n9ne in like 2015 and it was surreal. Crazy to see that growth.
Ironic i saw this video pop up. Alfredo was my most played album last year and currently it and Bandana has been on constant replay. I love me some Freddie Gibbs. Boy is too hard.
The fact that youtube bleeds content creators who want to actually work with existing art/artists is ridiculous. This was a really good vid. Pretty to the point..but gave info into his general history in the music industry and before. Id like to see the extended too, im gonna have to look into it.
Pinata is one of the best projects made in the last two decades and his discography is straight up phenomenal. But saying nobody was as good at 22 years is a stretch lmao.
nice vid man. i always felt he was great back then. he is super talented. my fave collab is when freddie and el michels affair did bandana live w madlib too.
i dont know if anyone will see this everytime you the name of an album that ive loved of freddie all i got was like 10 goosebumps all through this video fukin hell im gratefull that i fw his music like that..
The collabs and new albums are fire but Str8 Killa still my favorite. The Str8 Killa No Filla mixtape was my first experience with him a few weeks before the EP, and that shit just blew my mind too.

He may have lost Grammy, but he is undefeated In court!
Grammy after party bitch we rockin like we won the bitch
At least he lost to nas and not Macklemore
“got a 600 dollar an hr lawyer I ain’t worried about shit!” 💯
It should have gone to Freddy. Nas should have won it for Illmatic but the grannies are lead by clueless idiots from corporate labels
@@joeydonnelly7082 that song is great
One can study Freddie, but nobody can come to a conclusion to his IG content.

Freddie Gibb's building quite a legendary discography
For sure I thought he couldn't follow up Pinata and Bandana but Alfredo is mighty good
He already has built one
Hey Dat
Indeed! He already has one of the most consistently great discographies of all time!
Le beautiful & Dat in 1 comment section?? 😮
1. Pinata
2. Alfredo
3. Bandana
4. Fetti
5. You Only Live 2wice
6. Shadow Of A Doubt
7. Freddie
Not one miss here only hits
Thanks for the video Volk
I'd put Bandana 1st or second interchangeably.
And Shadow of A Doubt is interchangeable with You Only Live 2wice too! Damn, not to mention his mixtapes BFK, Cold Day in Hell and so many others!
@@crispythablack5837 I agree, Bandana is the best!
Thank you for getting this right

Freddie Gibbs has NEVER made a bad project.
agreed
Yup
Esgn and Fetty are criminally underrated
I would have to agree
NEVER!
Gibbs has the most complete discography and is the most versatile rapper since hov, his flow and lyrics is unmatched and his MO is just perfect because he sticks to a single producer and concept and it just goes perfect
Freddie always gave me a stoner uncle who is very talented kind of vibe whenever i see him in interviews

Piñata is deadass one of the best albums of all time and nobody even notices it 😔🦓
in this genre though
Can you compare it with peppers? Didn’t think so
@@Leon-cd1iy absolutely fantastic profile picture good sir
1:45 I mean Nas recorded Illmatic when he was 17 and its considered an extremely influential album.
1999 by joey bada$$ was made when he was 17 and b.ad.a$$ at 20 and the latter I've not heard but apparently its rlly good and 1999 is amazing
He says he's 19 ON that album. How is he seventeen.

Rakim made paid in full when he was 17 and he created the blueprint of multiple rhyme scheme and modern rapping at that time

straight up.
It has to be said that BFK is still the hardest opening song for any rap project ever. First time I heard it I knew Freddie was Goated.
Yes! That was such a great project....The Hard is still one of my favorites

Thanks for making this. I feel like Freddie Gibbs still doesn't have the recognition he deserves for his unique aesthetic and the quality of his flow.
I was EARLY as hell on Freddie Gibbs. Im so happy for him that hes finally getting the recognition he deserves. The man has been killing for YEARSSSSS!!!
100% feels like the whole team winnin
Been listening since 2010. Freddie is every bit as good as Kendrick, and its really been a blessing to have both of them in the game at the same time.
maybe joey badass was as good as freddie gibbs at his 20s cause he was a beast with 17
Facts
Ehhh...
@@qomco 1999?
Thats just my opinion. I shouldnt have said anything, I just prefer Gibbs now as an artist so its hard to compare

Freddie is the greatest rapper alive for sure. When Kendrick becomes active again then let's see if he reclaims his throne.

His IG story is unexplainable, the man is the most entertaining artist outside of music too

Shout out to Freddie being possibly the realest, hardest, most talented rapper I've found in the past 20 years.
Funny thing is he been around for the better part of those 20 years dude really grinded and now its paying off
