[@BigCocoEnergy]

The consistency from Mick Jenkins’ discography is phenomenal. I’m a huge fan of his work

[@germ187]

Please please please more ADÁN!!! I’ve ALWAYS loved his insight and when Myke tells stories about him and Adán going out and stuff it makes me wish he would come around more and be part of one of the DEHH media projects!

[@whyareyoureadingthisyouidiot]

Damn the album was so good, they brought in a spiritual brotha with locs.

[@iamjshep3]

For real bruh.😂😂😂

[@CircumcisedUnicorn]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dominiquesmith7680]

“Gangsta Gibbs if you are listening you’re fine, as a rapper.” With that inserted pause without saying pause is hilarious 🤣

[@JayZC96]

I still remember The Water(s) and how I thought it was so unique and how great of a lyricist he was even back then. It’s cool to see him continuing to drop high quality music.

[@bboyenzoIL]

man the first time i heard Jerome i had the stankface stuck on for about 4 weeks

[@kilobeatsog]

Freddie Gibbs is one of my favorite rappers but I can agree with Adan. I will say Freddie at times can have some crazy bars, but when I really think about it it's moreso his flow and pockets that he can find and live in that I appreciate. Also his beat selection is immaculate which is crazy for how diverse the production he chooses can get sometimes.

[@khylera883]

I've realized I'm more appreciative that I'm a fan of mick more than upset he's not getting recognition. His subject matter just doesn't connect with the masses. Can't be mad about it just thankful I've come across one of the most talented artist of my generation.

[@HUNGRYFLOWER98]

Niggas like sexy redd so it makes since😂😂

[@harisahmadzi7831]

I think Mick Jenkins is underrated and under appreciated. The Waters was reallyyy popular and I thought he was gonna become another household name from that era like Chance became or TDE became but he didn’t. He’s always put out great work and damn can he rap, but he doesn’t have a large following like he should

[@Buhrennen]

Perfectly said

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

Yea I honestly believe that him and Skyzoo are the 2 most underrated rappers of the modern day era. Very underrated discographies from both imo

[@RadicalTadpoles1000]

I think it’s bc most people think like me and say that after the waters he hasn’t done anything that impressive at all. Pieces of a man got some good tracks here and there but a lot of the production his flows and even the subject matter just does not grip me or stand out amongst the field he’s in at all. Myke said it best he has great lyrics and schemes but there’s not much that will bring a lot of people back to his work bc there’s not much there to bring you back

[@LookingForAName...]

There were a lot of rappers with distinct sounds and a lot of talent in that era. It's interesting to see where each of them is today.

[@MAK537-w5x]

@@RadicalTadpoles1000 I’m late as hell but Yea with Mick his music is for a really particular audience. I connect with him mainly because of his perspective as a black man and how he communicates different aspects of that. He’s not the only artist I feel that way about but that’s what brings me back to his music often. Side note: he makes really good night drive music and music to smoke to. With all that being said I could see how he’s not as popular, complex lyricism and songs that is clearly not trying to appeal to the masses

[@giovannizerbini3119]

I thought the way Freddie flowed was absolutely elite. I haven't heard him rap like that in a minute. 5:48 -- I agree that I don't find his lyrics memorable but that isn't always important.

[@derontillman7301]

The only way for Mick to get respect is to align himself with the industry’s agenda….which he clearly states he WILL NOT do. Therefore, he will always have the best “dish” in the restaurant, but the “smallest” font on the menu. The Patience 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 Classic

[@PandainAtlanta]

Adan should come on more often, he blended in perfectly with yall and that Gibbs hot take is honestly kind of true. Gibbs doesnt have the hardest or most complex bars but he has mastered his flow, his breath control is insane. He also picks great fucking beats to rap over.

[@shettywap]

Breath control is also about mixing and editing. You hear people live that have good breath control, but it's never as good as a track, because its been edited. Lol

[@mickjenkins5271]

I defiantly felt I could rap better than them. Anyone really. Wether they came with they A game or not. Didn’t matter to me. Haha Love the review as always. Lmao Im holding out for KEN to say I’m his favorite rapper.

[@skabzemortal]

This really mick?

[@ShadeThaArtist]

I was finna say: damn! Myke done bulked up! But its was just Feefo with glasses on 😂😂😂😂😂

[@chiefmiyagi9802]

😂😂😂

[@leviturner4565]

This video was So Fun😂😂😂 I didn’t even listen to the album but y’all have been making these reviews so entertaining for 10+ years

[@mickjenkins5271]

Just fyi. Tho. I hated my previously record deal situation. And I simply wasn’t trying very hard while I was with them. Shit different now lol much more to come

[@PureMoney4]

A Cold Day in Hell Baby Faced Killa Midwestboxframe.. Str8 killa no filla Gibbs had a lot of quality work before the madlib and Alchemist collabs. Verse on this project was okay, he phoned it in.

[@HUNGRYFLOWER98]

I’m a mick fan But “monsters inc we got the dough stackin” is corny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mohauntaopane4264]

How you guys shoot down Feefo for his opinions, and then say exactly what he was just saying keeps perplexing me. Anyway, I loved the review. The guest must come back for sure. Would’ve loved Beezy’s take still.

[@tommyjohn_45]

ayyyyyyyy let's gooooo! Mick putting out an absolute masterclass in writing

[@Myiic]

love getting lost in the wordplay

[@Skrewz]

Feefo morphing into Myke C-Town is craaayyy.

[@iangarcia1585]

Sayong Freddie Gibbs is overrated is insane (in a bad way)

[@shredmaestro93]

Feefo looking like Rick James illegitimate son.

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

That "RGB" moment was funny to me. Myke and Rod did not get the "Roy G Biv meaning, but go lt the "RGB".

[@AdanBean]

Yeah, Myke and Rod definitely didn’t understand what I was saying lol

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

@AdanBean Yooo I can't believe I'm getting a reply from AdanBean. You're a legend, been a fan of yours for years dude. Please keep up the amazing art.

[@PeacefulWretch]

Appreciate y'all for this! Cause Mick Jenkins is incredible!

[@mickjenkins5271]

I’d actually love to do an interview with y’all but I know that’s not really your thing

[@shamariopatterson1206]

Freddie merked that track!!! Mick did not kill not Freddie on that track please stop the BS!!!! Mock verse was mid grade!!

[@parkerbrother12]

Bandana and Pinata are absolutely classic albums

[@hiphopbreaux]

Freddie flow on the second part of his verse was INSANE

[@CodyJohnson-e3x]

mick youve been in my top 5 since the waters. put trees and truths on streaming my goat

[@Fleeceman327]

Myke explaining Roy G Biv like we didn’t all learn that in kindergarten

[@0194D]

As someone who has Gibbs as his favorite rapper, I respect that guy’s opinion. I’ll even say that 100% agree. Freddie isn’t the best lyricist in the world. What makes Freddie work is he’s such a great combination of everything you want in a rapper in terms of his output. Great beat selection, good lyricism while being introspective at times, amazing flow So many dudes fall into a category where they have great lyrics but they’re on some dusty vinyl crate boom bap boring rap beats. On some, this can’t be bumped in the whip shit.

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

So glad y’all reviewed this album. Easily a top 5 project for me this year. Salute DEHH 💯

[@accidentaltroll129]

feefo lovebombing Mick caught me off gaurd

[@DomGeez12357]

Both Benny and Freddy gave some cruise control verses, I was definitely disappointed with Benny’s though.

[@enjoydavision933]

homie tripping on the Freddie Gibbs comment.

[@ajoesaint5858]

Great review as always yall! Will y’all ever go back and review Pieces of a Man? That album is phenomenal.

[@parkerbrother12]

Only complaint...album way too short

[@michaeldewitt3500]

I’m so thankful for this show. Been a viewer 4 a long time . Thank you Deadend !

[@flymamma2666]

"Mop" is Mick Playwriting the Kendrick V Drake Beef....only Real Hip Hop SEES

[@TheD1995B]

This quickly became one of my favorites this year

[@MartyMcFly__25]

I LOVE the Gibbs take 🤣🤣. Feefo face was priceless! He’s absolutely right Gibbs for me is flow , style and aggression not a crazy bars

[@mikes6471]

He was spitting.

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

@@mikes6471mostly about his baby momma situation that nobody cares about anymore. The flow/delivery was there but the bars were not. It was a mid feature imo

[@kazzykaioken8873]

Freddie gibbs be singing too much

[@viberdelight9553]

Mick doesn’t miss bro

[@FreeTheColonized]

I already see this happening but if that scene of smino, noname, mick, saba (maybe chance) Starts to collab with the Earl, MIKE, Navy Blue, Mavi, AKAI SOLO scene more it could really be some great music in collaboration

[@InfumuZ_BoneZ]

For the people that are just getting into mick and like the more aggressive flow I highly recommend "Or More The Anxious" album. One of my favorite releases from mick and he has a lot of singles floating around on KZbin you probably won't find on other apps so do some digging you can start with lemonade for recommendations

[@curtiscurtisx9556]

"I don't know what pissed him off" --- dropping an album like Elephant in the Room 2yrs ago and still not getting proper recognition

[@dereka415]

This is such a good album. It's just a solid album that I can see myself playing through the year.

[@leija8005]

Feefo saying it sounded somber is correct. Somber and dark mean basically the same thing

[@kickinnflickin1646]

i think mick had a nice verse on that track with freddie but killed him? nah…freddie made the song 5x better for me…freddie flow was stupid on that track..my fav on the album..if anything freddie outdid mick on that one

[@camiamproducer]

Michelin Star isn’t a sample, it has that Ahmad Jamal swing to it, but those are just Bill Evans stock preset sounds. The beat breakdown is on YT

[@germ187]

The Gibbs take was on point tho, it’s the production that carries it

[@MrJordan3023]

Nah his pre pinata albums are fire too.

[@shettywap]

​@MrJordan3023 at this point, those are over a decade ago. He hasn't really had "bars" in a minute.

[@MrJordan3023]

@@shettywap cap he was going crazy on soul sold separately

[@shettywap]

@@MrJordan3023 cap, it's his flow and production. Agree to disagree. I've never really been wowed by his bars.

[@erictownsend4615]

My album of the year, hands down.

[@benvarney]

This my number 2 spot after maps - but fucking dope ass album, can’t see much else competing

[@ianjudge5572]

Best rap album this year, no skips! Glad yall covered it

[@skabzemortal]

Am i the only listener of Mick who thinks Pieces of a Man is his best... like every album & tape outside of that is cool alternative rap to me especially as i get older

[@dopeanimekid918]

Damn I remember y'all put me on to mick with waters when I was in high school shit is crazy

[@redgenerall28]

I feel like every Mick's album is just on the verge of being classic but not quite there. Like it's good but not great, feel me? Although that song with Benny is straight up fire. On repeat.

[@kmc1994]

No hate but I really don’t like Gibbs verse on there. I feel like it’s out of place on the track and the entire album thennn Mick follows up after him and it’s sooo slowed down from where Gibbs was just at I find that off putting, weird. Almost like Mick didn’t really like Gibbs direction either but it was too late to cut the verse from the project.. yeah. Lol just my thoughts on that song.

[@zomb60]

I first heard him on Alex Wiley's Forever. I've always considered him up there with K Dot in a way. But Mick just doesn't make hits. That's the problem.

[@joshuagonzales8451]

Review the Real Bad Man & Blu project

[@mikemr..3602]

Love Mick Jenkins work, as a poet I study it to improve my own skills. Solid project ✊🏿

[@shalomsims7270]

Nah fr though. Chicago has been cookin up some rappers for the past decade.

[@TheJ1s]

I don't remember someone talking about it but the 2004 track is missing when I checked out the album. I'll listen to it on my next morning walk.

[@directedbysunny]

Yea it’s greyed out on Spotify but i believe it’s still playable on Apple Music. We aren’t sure why it’s like that though

[@IAmWizdom1000]

He did a fan Q and A where he was breaking down how he hasn't been in any of his music deals since he dropped The Waters. He said that he named he album The Patience because its the practice of being patient has been one that he wrestles with, hence the tone of aggression in this project.

[@zomb60]

How is freddie overrated? I rate him is the same lane as Scarface amd C-Bo.

[@sanjayvenkatesh5743]

Love adan but you crazy for that Gibbs take ngl

[@Nicolasmondragon707]

Y’all should review the album Forward by Jordan Ward.

[@chiefmiyagi9802]

Yeah Forward is a really good album. Had it on repeat for a while.

[@henryfrazier3046]

Ah man I was like bruh I know these dudes aren’t about to and act like Mick didn’t drop 🙏 thank you

[@B2twenty]

Mick is the best MC outside of K Dot and has been for years so it’s beyond me how he still hasn’t gotten his due respect

[@whywouldtheylie]

People like one of my best friends continue to say that J. Cole is better than both Mick and Kendrick. And until mick and cole rap together, mick not gonna move up.

[@GoB1996]

You know I heard Gibb’s verse on that track and thought “hmm that was okay but whatever” but then I heard Adan say it out loud and thought of every track I could from shadow of a doubt To SSS and yeah… he really is just okay. I still love’em because it’s Gibbs but I can actually agree with that. He’s a vibe

[@shettywap]

It's all about his flow. Dude is an okay lyricist, but the flow and production is what gets it.

[@skabzemortal]

He can rap...i fuck with Mop

[@AJGaming-cf4zh]

Ths my AOTY fr

[@thatguyoverthere1229]

I actually really liked 2004. Kind of sad it’s not on Spotify anymore. Still a dope ass album

Any explanation as to why it’s not on spotify anymore?

Always looked ova Mick (he's jus lacking something) iDk what it is but watched BoB the PopPop break this down I'm phuckin wit'em now tho 👍🏽👍🏽 Freddie flow is phuckin 🍌

[@kentekuzan]

there's a very good chance that Mick comments on here

[@OmarMannan]

There’s a few guys in the industry who are insanely underrated and probably to the point they never even get reviews even though their numbers merit more; NF Mick J Payroll Giovanni Larry June Etc

[@btorres5x]

9:26 best part of the video 😅

[@hiddenmosaic]

I think Mick Jenkins is next-level in both lyrical ability and sheer focus. The music is awesome and this is my favorite rap album of the year by far

[@renkendil]

Y’all need to review that new Earl Sweatshirt/Alchemist album!

[@somekid7]

I think the reason why Mick doesn't get the shine he deserves is just the industry. Sure, we get amazing artists to hit it big sometimes, but imagine if the entire structure of the entertainment industry was devoid of greed and old money. I don't think most people can imagine it because for most of us it's all we know. Imagine if Black people, Native/Indigenous peoples and all the other marginalized groups weren't dying at the highest rates from the #1 killer of people, which is poverty. There's probably been hundreds of people as good as Mick from Chicago who either got killed or never got the chance to even make a record cause they had to get active to survive. I mean Chicago ain't never been the most violent city statistically (mainstream media played you if you ever believed it) so it's like all this shit is not even thought about.

[@IamFirtyDucker]

I 100% agree with that Freddie Gibs tske

It's funny y'all say that about 2004 because that's my favorite song on the album outside of Mop. I like so much because it's so different and overly aggressive. I hate it's greyed out on Spotify but what can I do about it. Also great review y'all. Y'all still should have reviewed Meechey Darko's album and Kenny Mason's New album but it is what it is.
