It was released on March 18, 2014 via Madlib Invazion. The album was preceded by three EP's that included lead singles "Thuggin'," "Shame," and "Deeper." Although Piñata saw Freddie Gibbs and Madlib as an unlikely pairing, they skillfully blended Freddie's gangsta rap edge with Madlib's vintage underground production. Thematically, the album plays like a "gangster blaxploitation film on wax," as explained by Gibbs during its initial rollout.
Its stacked list of guest features, established hip-hop legends and then-newcomers, joined Freddie and Madlib, resulting in an all-star lineup. Standout appearances included Danny Brown, Raekwon, Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, Meechy Darko, and Mac Miller. A certified classic, Piñata is widely regarded as Freddie Gibbs's magnum opus and one of Madlib's greatest full-length collaborations. Today, we are revisiting Piñata for its 10th anniversary.

Piñata Propelled Freddie Gibbs To Hip Hop's Forefront
Prior to Piñata, Freddie Gibbs was already a rising name in the hip-hop scene. He appeared on XXL's Freshman cover in 2010. Gibbs also signed with Jeezy's CTE label, releasing multiple well-received mixtapes. Freddie soon left CTE to start his own ESGN label following a disagreement with Jeezy that turned public. In 2013, he released his debut album, ESGN.
But even as he shaped his underground legend, vengeance remained on his mind after he and Jeezy fell out. Their beef continued well after Gibbs' departure, resulting in "Real," a cutthroat diss track that remains a standout on Piñata. ESGN and Freddie's earlier mixtapes primarily consisted of trap production, so a full-length collaboration with Madlib seemed like a left-field crossover. In 2014, Gibbs told Rappcats, "It was a challenge rapping over beats with chops and changes as unpredictable as the man who created them." Luckily, the two gelled their sounds together on Piñata so perfectly that it changed the trajectory of both of their careers.
From the cold-hearted "Thuggin" to the vivid "Deeper" and "Shame," Piñata saw Freddie embracing his lyrical strengths over a sound that he had not yet explored. Both "Knicks" and "Lakers" recall his journey while "Harold's" is easily the hardest rap song about chicken wings and fries. Gibbs shines amongst his contemporaries and OG's throughout the album, especially on its closing posse cut. Ultimately, Piñata propelled Freddie Gibbs to hip-hop's forefront, putting him in the conversation of best lyricists favored by rap purists and publications alike.
A New Phase in Madlib's Career
In addition to positioning Freddie Gibbs within the stratosphere of hip hop's greatest artists, Piñata also marked a new phase in Madlib's career. By 2014, the legendary producer had already amassed a discography of some of hip hop's greatest collaborations, including his work with Lootpack, J Dilla, Talib Kweli, Strong Arm Steady, and of course, Madvillainy with MF DOOM. He had also ventured into jazz and other genres with his instrumental tapes and released rap albums under the Quasimoto alias.
By working with Freddie Gibbs, Madlib unlocked a new vein of hip-hop that he had not yet tapped into. His vintage, soulful, and off-kilter production sounded fresher than ever with the help of Gibbs and his guests. Piñata set up Madlib to make sizable contributions to hip hop's new wave of emerging underground talent. He went on to produce for the likes of Your Old Droog, Wiki, Mach-Hommy, and Westside Gunn. The album also expanded his reach beyond the underground, landing credits on albums from Kanye West, Tyler, The Creator and Anderson .Paak.

Piñata Set The Bar For Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's Future Works
Ten years later, Piñata has a legacy of its own. It set the bar incredibly high for Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's future works, especially their subsequent collaborations. Though Freddie's efforts with The Alchemist naturally garnered comparisons to his projects with Madlib, Pinata is the epitome of his peak creativity. On the other hand, the album joined Madlib's most legendary collabs like Madvillainy and Champion Sound as an indisputable classic. It also set the stage for his future works with Blu, MED, Oh No, and Black Star. Even more than their future works as individuals, Piñata became the standard for Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's future collaborations as a duo.
With an even larger following and major label support, they unleashed Bandana in 2019 via RCA. It was a worthy successor to their debut, displaying that Gibbs and Madlib are strongest together. Piñata remains a landmark release in hip hop's modern era, with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib celebrating its 10th anniversary with "Teñata" shows in Boston, New York, and Chicago. Hopefully, they continue their collaborative winning streak with Montana, the supposed third and final album in a trilogy.

Despite the backlash she received when she began dating Trevon Diggs, the pair have been together for about two years now. The 25-year-old NFL cornerback is also the father of Chavis' soon-to-be-born child.

Shai Moss was born to Joie Chavis and Bow Wow on April 27, 2011, and is the oldest of Joie's kids. Although her parents are no longer together, the 12-year-old has grown up cultivating a good relationship with both of them. Since she was very young, Shai has displayed a natural talent for the arts. Like Joie Chavis, Shai is a good dancer and has a talent for singing, as well. Furthermore, the youngster is also a budding actress and has already begun showcasing her acting chops. She made her acting debut in 2021 appearing in Nickelodeon's Side Hustle.
By all means, even at such a young age, Shai has started making a name for herself. However, in November 2023, Joie Chavis shared with fans that Shai didn't want to start a career just yet, which her father previously disclosed. According to Chavis, Shai just wished to be a normal kid, and told her, "I feel like you and dad are trying to pressure me into acting and all this stuff. I don't want to do it." Although Joie Chavis would have preferred for Shai to follow that path, she is a mother who heeds the desires of her kids. Since then, the 12-year-old has appeared significantly less on social media. Regardless, Shai Moss still has an impressive following on social media, with over 500 thousand followers on Instagram alone.

The second of her kids, Joie Chavis gave birth to Hendrix on December 14, 2018. However, she didn't reveal his birth until December 25, 2018 when she shared photos on Instagram. Soon after Hendrix was born, his parents broke up. Chavis has mentioned that neither Future nor Bow Wow give her child support. Nonetheless, she has maintained an amicable relationship with them and co-parents their kids. On Hendrix's third birthday in 2021, his parents came together to throw him a Spider-Man-themed party. Some photos from the celebration found their way to social media and it seemed to be a fun event for all in attendance. Hendrix is now five years old, and has a cute relationship with his older sister, Shai Moss. Soon, he will no longer be the youngest of his mother's kids as Joie Chavis is set to give birth sometime soon.

Last month, Bruno Mars was in Las Vegas alongside dozens of other celebrities for the Super Bowl. But he wasn't just there to enjoy the big game or even to perform.

It opened up with a stunning lineup including Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, and T-Pain in attendance.
It's been 8 years since Bruno Mars dropped his last solo album 24k Magic. He followed that up in 2021 when he formed Silk Sonic alongside Anderson .Paak. The pair released their debut album An Evening With Silk Sonic which spawned the mega-hit "Leave The Door Open." What do you think of the rumor about Bruno Mars owing $50 million in gambling debt?

However, the 28-year-old has been mixing elements of hip-hop and country since the mid 2010s. Today, we excited to cover our first Shaboozey track "Vegas."
A song that has turned a lot of hip-hop fans heads as of late has been "Let It Burn." The track released in October of 2023 and it sees Shaboozey bust out his rapping chops on the second half. What also makes the break-up song work so well is his standout deep and husky voice. Even in a high register, he shines as well.

"Vegas" incorporates some similar elements of that song, but this one is a little less explosive. However, that is not to say it is a bad song by any means. In fact, it is quite catchy, probably even more so than "Let It Burn." Once again, you will here Shaboozey pick up the speed on his lone verse.

Moreover, that's exactly what folks at a strip club witnessed when Latto came into the venue, accompanied by City Girls member Yung Miami. They threw stacks of cash and rapped along to the former's 2024 hit "Sunday Service," and many folks took particular note of Caresha being alongside the 777 artist. That's because a lot of people see this track as a marker of loyalty, given that many fans think that it's a pointed diss towards Ice Spice.
Furthermore, the "cold war" between her and Latto's been a hot topic of conversation for some time now, with things really becoming a narrative this year. Their back-and-forth singles (which fans think included subliminals at each other), plus some apparent references in their promotion, led many to believe there's animosity between them. Whether or not there actually are any issues with Ice Spice doesn't matter, because that's the marketing and public narrative that both the artists and the fans are running with right now. As such, this is a myth becoming reality in a pretty weird way.

Of course, it's entirely possible that this feud between Latto and Ice Spice is legit, and not just the product of misogynistic PR wanting to pit femcees against each other. But Yung Miami's inclusion in all this is curious, because if fans' conspiracy theories are to be believed, then the Nicki Minaj affiliate through JT should in theory be a Spice supporter. But it goes to show that things are never that simple, and that no artist should be immediately prohibited from fraternizing with another based on petty competition or narratives. Also, the City Girl's got other fish to fry in the beef section.
Meanwhile, it seems like the "Put It On Da Floor" lyricist is having a lot of fun as of late, as she also enjoyed a club outing with Rubi Rose. Maybe they'll collab again in the future and we can add more weaving webs in this femcee beef universe. Or just, you know, focus on the competitive releases and the artistry itself. Either way, for more news and updates on Latto, Yung Miami, and Ice Spice, log back into HNHH.
