Track: Curren$y & Alchemist – “Scottie Pippen (feat. Freddie Gibbs)”
Track: “Scottie Pippen (feat. Freddie Gibbs)”
Artist: Curren$y & Alchemist
Release Date: April 20, 2011
Label: Jet Life Recordings/Warner Bros.
This cut, taken from Curren$y‘s fifth studio album Covert Coup, features Curren$y and Freddie Gibbs trading verses over a dark, moody backing track courtesy of The Alchemist. Although only two verses long, “Scottie Pippen” is a nonstop showcase of both rappers’ lyrical and technical talents. Curren$y’s distinctive New Orleans drawl opens the track, bringing in a few basketball references and his signature punch lines before allowing Freddie Gibbs to take over the mic — and take over he does. Gibbs’s verse highlights the rapper’s incredible flow and rhymes, with the Indiana-based rapper spitting perhaps the strongest verse on the entire album. Seriously, is it even allowed for a feature to go this hard on a track?
“Scottie Pippen (feat. Freddie Gibbs)” is from Covert Coup, out now via Jet Life Recordings/Warner Bros. You can download it for free here.
Rating: 9/10

Listen: Earl Sweatshirt – “Dat Ass”
A brand new track has surfaced from OFWGKTA‘s lost member Earl Sweatshirt, who is rumored to be attending boarding school. The new track is entitled “Dat Ass” and first appeared in one of Earl’s skater videos but was never actually released. It has now been revealed that the track is from Earl’s unreleased mixtape Kitchen Cutlery, recorded by Earl two years ago and even before he joined Odd Future. Kitchen Cutlery, had it been released, would have seen Earl rap under the alias Sly Tendencies. Currently, it is unknown if the Odd Future crew will release the rest of the Kitchen Cutlery mixtape, but this certainly was a nice surprise from the young rapper.
Free Earl! You can listen to “Dat Ass” in its entirety below.
