criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Shadow of a Doubt with four out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor David Maurer, Freddie Gibbs manifests " his raw, honest gangsta attitude with excellent rap skills and an authenticity that hardly anyone currently achieves on wonderfully dark beats ". The rapper impresses with “the type and authenticity of the story, continuous fire rape and the tough attitude. “ Extradite delivers an“ impressive rhyme battle with a brilliantly presented Black Thought ”, Amazing becomes a“ hedonism anthem ” with a“ perfectly adapted George Michael sample [...] ”and Careless is declared the“ highlight of the record ”. The “ minimalist ” 10 Times also had “ hit potential”. "Overall, none of the songs on the album seem" too long, let alone superfluous. "

Leaderboard

In the list of the best “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2015 by Laut.de, Shadow of a Doubt was ranked 18th. " Every line, every story [and] every dark, humming beat " on the album shows that Gibbs is " still the most genuine of the gangsta rappers ". He sounds " sometimes like Migos , sometimes like Future , but luckily mostly like himself. "
