In a press release, Freddie Gibbs described Piñata as 'a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax. Freddie Gibbs, speaking in April 2013, with HipHopDX about how he came up with the album's original title, Cocaine Piñata. So, I just called that shit Cocaine Piñata. It was little four-year-old kids hitting dope in piñatas. I was just like, 'Damn, man.' They was just kids playing in the dope. I must've been cooking some dope or some shit that week, because the nigga started hitting the piñata, and it wasn't shit but dope falling out the piñata. That nigga wanted a piñata, man, in the dream, man. So it was like a little nigga-Mexican baby and shit. Anyways, so the baby would probably be a Mexi-nigga or some shit. I want to say all of my girls speak Spanish and shit. You know I like Latina girls and shit, man. The little baby's birthday was here and shit. I had a dream, dog, that I had a little baby.
