I'd put Bandana 1st or second interchangeably.

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

[@ciegosanchez5289]

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

1:45 I mean Nas recorded Illmatic when he was 17 and its considered an extremely influential album.

[@banasine3250]

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

[@godwarrior3403]

He says he's 19 ON that album. How is he seventeen.

[@BookwormCowboy]

@@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.

[@godwarrior3403]

@@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

[@nikk796]

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

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

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

[@GoldenGraham25]

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.

[@sanjayd7]

@@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
