freddie gibbs shadow of a doubt tracklist

One was the hook on 'Mexico' and that was actually a pretty good hook (future level) and the other was on 'Packages' which I didn't like so much because the guy on it just sounded like a bad future rip-off. Anyway back to the song I should be talking about **** Up the Count', it made me kind of worried when it was released as the first single because there was a bit of auto-tune at the end and I didn't know if the rest of the album would be heavily auto tuned but there was really only 2 bits on the album from what I can remember.

**** Up the Count' has a great beat based off, I think, Nine Inch Nails' 'Right Where It Belongs' ending piano notes which makes me love it even more because NINE INCH NAILS and 'With Teeth' is one of my favourite albums of the 21st century so any samples of it are gonna be appealing to me. I'm not discrediting it but as a white middle class English male I find it completely unrelatable and that applies to a lot of hip hop releases, I'm only mentioning it here because I've seen more of an emphasise put on it by critics.

His flow, in my opinion, is perfect on every single song here- that's probably the reason I could never dislike a Freddie Gibbs project- and he portrays a pretty good image of growing up in the hood with his lyrics but I've heard most of it before so it's not really the main reason I return to the album. Although it's not as good as I'd hoped I still like a good portion of it.
