Freddie gibbs shadow of a doubt rgf2/12/2024 ![]() Freddie: Hype af but someone tell me why I'm listening to the same track for the duration of the project?.BUT on the strength of the first half this sits here Other than that, the rest of the project was forgettable. BFK: I love the first 8 tracks on this to death.For such a short project, phone lit should have been left off. If yall are praising this storytelling, go back and listen to Cold Day in Hell. Also? I like these beats over the beats in Alfredo (other than 1985 and god is perfect, which are great). Fetti: Yall gon think I'm whack putting this above Alfredo, but Gibbs and Spitta flowing off one another and their contrasting voices, paired with the conciseness of the project takes the cake for me.It definitely grew on me just like Shadow of a Doubt did though. Bandana was great and concise on the other hand, but when you cycle through Pinata and Cold Day in Hell, Bandana leaves you kinda wanting a bit more somehow. If you take that into consideration and tolerate the closing out track (Lambo was trying to subvert our expectations of what a closing track should be), then you've got an almost perfect hype record IMO. ![]() He always has a track where he's fucking around straight up. If yall notice too, Basketball Wives is a misstep but is really in line with FLFM on Freddie and Gat Damn on Bandana, the skit on the end of Robes. I think Shadow of a Doubt is also the reason we have Gang Signs. Shadow of a Doubt helped Gibbs perfect his hooks and bridges so we could have Cataracts on Bandana imo. And Black Thought's first verse on Extradite is too cold ("ever see a body dead in the streets then eat breakfast, swallow false beliefs like police justice?"). ![]() Bandana is technically the more consistent project, but Shadow of a Doubt has more bangers IMO. Add in Heaven Can Wait, Neighborhood Hoez with 2 Chainz, BANned? Man this shit an overlooked classic ![]() A lot of folks were talking about how Alfredo was the pinnacle of his story telling, but I really encourage yall to listen to My Homeboy's Girlfriend and name a better story telling track of his. ![]()
