Piñata (Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, 2014)
Madlib's such a lazy producer that the strength of his projects seems to depend mostly on who he's working with. Gibbs' rhymes are on the stale and predictable side and he doesn't seem particularly creative, but he's got enough presence to carry a pretty long album without it getting old (and I listened to the extended version). I listened to it in the car, which isn't ideal, so I'd like to give it a few more shots before I make up my mind about it. But for now I'll give it a tentative thumbs up.
Choice cuts: Shitsville, Robes, Piñata?
