3:16 w/ Freddie Gibbs & Pill

"In this third edition of Yours Truly & The Smoking Section’s 3:16 series we turn our attention to two of the baddest beat bandits under the sun: Freddie Gibbs and Pill. These dudes spit that gritty, dirt under the nails, bricks in the trunk, don’t visit us at home hip-hop that harkens back to a time when it still felt good to be a gansta. Act accordingly."

Donnis been catching a lot of flack for going over this beat but I think he did a damn good job. I agree there's certain songs you shouldn't mess with but I'm feelin' this.
