"This single LP edit of Piñata has been lacquered at half speed master by Metropolis Mastering in London for the highest fidelity and is housed in a Blaxploitation-themed cover exclusively for Record Store Day 2020. This single LP version of Piñata, the acclaimed rap album from 2014 that debuted at Number 39 on Billboard's Top 200, is presented in a unique cover for RSD 2020. The cover is a collaboration between Jeff Jank and Pathetic Pixels with inspiration found in the unique graphics and content of 1970s Blaxploitation films. Piñata is 'a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax,' says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city previously best known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted funk, soul and prog musical tapestries. This version of Piñata comes on the heels of the 2019 release of the duo's acclaimed album Bandana, named album of the year by Hypebeast, Rap Caviar, and many others, and is a welcome reminder of the undeniable musical chemistry that first catalyzed 6 years ago, elevating Freddie Gibbs and Madlib to the upper echelon of the genre's teams, and placing a classic album alongside the others Madlib issued over the years, from Madvillain's Madvillainy to Quasimoto's The Unseen."

"Following the launch of what most critics (Billboard, Pitchfork, NPR amongst them) are calling one of the best rap records (if not one of the best records) of the year, producer Madlib and rapper Freddie Gibbs reunite for a final EP -- Knicks Remix. This EP contains exclusive tracks not available on the pair's Piñata album. 'Knicks,' in remixed form, now features a new verse by Gibbs alongside Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$, and Ransom. The B-side, 'Home,' features BJ The Chicago Kid -- the velvet voiced vocalist from the duo's earlier 'Shame' -- and Madlib's two-part soul-flip carries Gibb's narrative about a traveling man's disregard for his woman at home. Both sides are completed by previously unheard Madlib instrumentals."

2021 reprint. "Madlib and Freddie Gibbs offer a limited edition cassette version of their lauded Piñata for those with tape-deck only buckets. Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets. But unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona. Piñata, a 17 track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining an at times stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer. Piñata is 'a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax,' says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted funk, soul and prog musical tapestries. While this is the latest in a series of single-artist collaborations for Madlib, after Jaylib (J Dilla), Madvillainy (MF Doom) and the street-centric O.J. Simpson with Detroit's Guilty Simpson, the pairing is unique as it is the first time for Gibbs working with just one producer."

2018 repress. "Madlib and Freddie Gibbs return with a final EP launch before they release their long-awaited collaborative album, Piñata. The Deeper EP delivers on this promise, and more. Gibbs showcases the yin and yang of heartbreak and anger on the title track, in a lovelorn narrative that meshes perfectly with the weepy strings and insistent rhythm of Madlib's beat. We haven't heard something like this in rap music since Nas' 'One Love,' nearly twenty years ago. The B-side, 'Harolds' -- exclusive to this EP -- gives Gibbs a chance to ride some low down Beat Konducta-fueled funk in a nostalgic ode to the Chicago chicken-shack that served as the backdrop to many of his seminal life experiences."

"In late 2011, producer Madlib and rapper Freddie Gibbs announced their forthcoming album with their debut EP Thuggin'/Deep. The 6-track record - released on Madlib's Madlib Invazion label - was hailed by the LA Times as 'inspired.' They said Madlib's 'hypnotic samples warped by an underground hero' were 'demolished by one of the best rappers breathing...' The duo's Shame/Terrorist EP follows where Thuggin'/Deep left off: with Gibbs effectively spooling street stories onto the Beat Konducta's wax. 'Shame,' featuring singer B.J. The Chicago Kid, is Gibbs' honest appraisal of a one night stand; 'Terrorist' is all killer, no filler - a short, terrifying rap offset by a cheeky fusion jazz sample."

2018 repress. "This project gives the Gary, Indiana-bred, LA-based rapper a chance to stretch out over the Beat Konducta's lush musical tapestry. If the first release is any indication, this collaboration will find Gibbs' rough-hewn raps landing atop smoldering soul and jagged psychedelia."
