Freddie Gibbs - Str8 Killa [Discussion Thread]

[Leggy Hendrix]

BoB will be flying across genres where as Gibbs will always be stuck to hip-hop.   

i dont see that as being a bad thing, as long as an artist doesnt sacrifice his integrity to appeal to a more mainstream audience then hes stayed true to himself and that should be respected

For some reason I couldn't really get into this new mixtape. I think The Miseducation tape was better.

The best tracks are Personal OG, Rep 2 Tha Fullest & Goon Shit.

I think this is years ahead of the game, not musically but release-wise.

He basically had all the EP tracks on the mixtape except they are shortend, I think this will become very popular in the future

Yeah, it's an interesting approach. I really like the mixtape, but I've been wondering whether to cop the EP. One one hand, I believe in supporting artists, and it would be good to have those tracks at full length and without DJ drops. On the other, with so much good music out there at the moment, I'm tempted just to be satisfied with the mixtape versions...

I just downloaded the no DJ version (which you gotta get the EP to complete the full untagged mixtape) and after doing all that it was worth it. I gave it a quick listen and was liking it, so I burned it to put in the ride for rotation.

Don't sleep, dudes tight. I'm considering picking up the EP on payday. My favorites so far are Personal OG and National Anthem .
