Here's what Freddie said about the album and his history with Madlib:
"I got the inspiration to do this project from my homeboy Krondon, and Phil [Da Agony], and Mitchy [Slick] - Strong Arm Steady, you know. I saw what they did with Madlib: they kickin' straight street shit, and I was like, 'Damn.' That really inspired me--they really inspired me--to get in the lab with Madlib, to be honest."
"Madlib already got a huge fan base already, so for me to do it was a no-brainer, pretty much. Once we dropped "Thuggin," I think people started to be like, 'Aw shit, I think they got somethin' here.' That was the first song we ever did. I hadn't really rapped on shit like that, and it was, like, a challenge for me lyrically, just to step into his realm of beats and bring my type of shit to it. Things of that nature. So I just took it, and I think I knocked it out the park."

really excited for this.
That is beautiful collab right there. Although it’s going to get compared to Madvillainy by every critic ever which will be super annoying.
Number one, don’t compare this to Madvillainy. Number two, if you do not like this album, either you do not like Rap music, or your opinion is less than meaningless. This kind of project has never been heard before in the history of music. The closest thing i can compare it to is maybe Kool G Rap/ DJ Polo, but that collabo was during a much simpler time in hip hop. Madlib and Gibbs have destroyed the blueprint of gangster rap with Cocaine Pinata. Lets just hope its the first of many to come.
2014 is off to a great start.
