{"product_id":"freddie-gibbs-madlib-pinata-2xlp","title":"Freddie Gibbs \u0026 Madlib - Piñata - 2XLP","description":"\u003cp\u003eFreddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona. Piñata, a 17 track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining an at times stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiñata is a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax, says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city previously best known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted funk, soul and prog musical tapestries. While this is the latest in a series of single-artist collaborations for Madlib, after Jaylib (J Dilla), Madvillainy (MF Doom) and the street-centric O.J. Simpson with Detroits Guilty Simpson, the pairing is unique as it is the first time for Gibbs working with just one producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a producer, Madlib, quite simply, is music, and ten years into his career-a time when other artists become comfortable-Gibbs remains restless, focused, with an eye on the competition and their position relative to his ascent. This is because mentally, hes still on the corner hustling, which would be the downfall of the average rapper. With Piñata, Gibbs confirms that he is anything but average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplier\u003cbr\u003eScarface\u003cbr\u003eDeeper\u003cbr\u003eHigh feat Danny Brown\u003cbr\u003eHarold's\u003cbr\u003eBomb feat Raekwon\u003cbr\u003eShitsville\u003cbr\u003eThuggin'\u003cbr\u003eReal\u003cbr\u003eUno\u003cbr\u003eRobes feat Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt\u003cbr\u003eBroken feat Scarface\u003cbr\u003eLakers feat Ab-Soul\u003cbr\u003eKnicks\u003cbr\u003eShame feat BJ the Chicago Kid\u003cbr\u003eWatts feat Big Time Watts\u003cbr\u003ePiñata feat Casey Veggies, Domo Genesis, G-Wiz, Mac Miller, Meechy Darko, Sulaiman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noise to Go","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49324990496951,"sku":null,"price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/madlib-invazion-madlib-freddie-gibbs-pinata-2xlp-black-vinyl-lp-madlib-freddie-gibbs-pinata-2xlp-black-vinyl-989327002211-mms022-lp-photo-photo-photo-1255315690.webp?v=1791570643","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/freddie-gibbs-madlib-pinata-2xlp","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
