As a huge fan of Madlib's work, I was a little surprised to hear he was working with Freddie Gibbs last year. I am a fan of Gibbs as well, but it just seemed like an odd combination, Gibbs "Gangsta" raps over Madlib's soulful production. I feel like Gibbs previous albums have suffered a bit from inconsistency and it looks like working with a producer like Madlib has completely ended that streak. Pinata is excellent from start to finish. The two artists work incredibly well together and the end result is an incredibly enjoyable & consistent album from front to back. The album features guest features from Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Ab-Soul, Domo Genesis, and more:
