Pi?ata, 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pi?ata 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On Pi?ata, where Gibbs can shift from textbook lessons in robbing and drugging on trackslike Scarface and Knicks, to perhaps the albums most personal song, Broken, a collaboration with Scarface, who, along with Tupac, DMX and 50 Cent, make up the rappers own Mount Rushmore of MCs (Youre getting a hurricane of all those motherfuckers hitting you at once when you listen to Freddie Gibbs, he says). Deeper, a Gibbs favorite and the third single from the album after Thuggin (2012) and Shame, (2013) is an ode to hip-hop in the mold of Commons I Used to Love H.E.R.; High, featuring Danny Brown, is self-explanatory and just what you would expect from Gibbs, Madlib and one of Detroits finest; while on Real, Gibbs addresses an old score just as Michael Corleone settled all family business on baptism day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As 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 Pi?ata, Gibbs confirms that he is anything but average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Supplier\u003cbr\u003eA2 Scarface\u003cbr\u003eA3 Deeper\u003cbr\u003eA4 High feat Danny Brown\u003cbr\u003eA5 Harold's\u003cbr\u003eB1 Bomb feat Raekwon\u003cbr\u003eB2 Shitsville\u003cbr\u003eB3 Thuggin'\u003cbr\u003eB4 Real\u003cbr\u003eB5 Uno\u003cbr\u003eC1 Robes feat Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt\u003cbr\u003eC2 Broken feat Scarface?\u003cbr\u003eC3 Lakers feat Ab-Soul\u003cbr\u003eD1 Knicks\u003cbr\u003eD2 Shame feat BJ the Chicago Kid?\u003cbr\u003eD3 Watts feat Big Time Watts?\u003cbr\u003eD4 Pi?ata feat Casey Veggies, Domo Genesis, G-Wiz, Mac Miller, Meechy Darko, Sulaiman?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madlib \u0026 Freddie Gibbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853266641239,"sku":"ZZ-MMS022-LP","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/Pinata.jpg?v=1782185663","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/pinata-2-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
