Madlib can make magic with three drum beats, some bass, and
a string loop. Old soul vocals drift in and out in place of a hook, like the
ghost of some pain past. Over this sparse, melancholy canvas, Gibbs weaves a
tale of love and heartbreak, of a woman who left him for a sucka and lied about
her baby’s parentage. Since it’s Gibbs, he finds room to discuss bagging up
heroin in the midst of all of this. Between this and the other five songs we’ve
heard from Piñata, MadGibbs is
shaping up to be one of the best collaborations of both artists’ careers. I’d list
the guests that will be on the record but that list is too long. Piñata will be out in February.
