Riff: Freddie Gibbs – “10 Times”

Nov 29, 2015

Baby are you still down/Still Down for me/Still down to take a brick/Out of town for me/Rippin off the whole clique

from 10 Times lyrics by Freddie Gibbs

Every king needs a queen, no matter where the kingdom is, a fact of life that Gibbs holds close. He goes on to seek the council of two of the games most vibrant characters and they reassure him with their own tales of conquest. Once again the beat holds the same vibe, which is beginning to wear thin. If it held a little more fire to it, it would make the narrative burn with a littleĀ more sizzle.
