letz talk abt gucci mane

noz is absolutely slating the album on twitter

yeah he's totally right about that stretch of songs in the second half, that Nicki/Pharrell song is truly awful as is the Wyclef song

;_;

ok obv i haven't heard the album yet & reserve judgment but "i think the magic might be gone" is idiotic, mr zone 6 and jewelry selection are amazing & state vs radric davis wasn't even one of his best releases last year

State Vs Radric Davis got critically slammed by quite a few critics, too. I dunno how easy it is to gauge quality from early reviews cuz there are plenty of critics who think he sucks, just as there are plenty who think he is amazing.

yeah and who looks to these albums for the magic anyway? i assume it will be a pile of overproduced shit, and if there are 3 or 4 songs last time that are really good--like classical, gingerbread man, and bingo on the last one--then i'll be happy.

definitely don't think noz is among the former tbh

the tracklist looked fucking terrible

i heard hes leaving the label

Does that surprise you? Also... I kind of like that Pharell/Nicki collabo?

i don't HATE it. too much pharell and not enough gucci though

i think gucci sounds pretty cool over the beat

Young Jeezy album pushed back, Gucci not going to have as much competition, although Lil Boosie and Ice Cube still have joints coming out.

I have Gucci on pre-order, fingers still crossed.

dunno that new joint is pretty super boring. the beginning of his second verse sounded pretty sweet though.

lets face it guccis great but he's falling off, even waka's doing better in the charts lately. i dont think his label is promoting him as much as they should, i mean his last 2 singles didnt even have proper videos

yeah, it's all label fuckery. any of us in this thread could do so much better a job managing his career at this point.

gucci time as a single is the most braindead decision of all time.

it prob sounds butthurt on my end to say that he's been managed terribly but he's been managed absolutely terribly

think about the fact that by far his biggest single since his renaissance -- "wasted" -- was the one that got zero label promotion & in fact when the label did try and promote the song, they replaced pretty much everyone's favorite (the plies one) with some disastrous juiceman verse that actually caused a palpable backlash from fans and radio DJs

"spotlight" was a total disaster of course, and "it's gucci time" was a step in the right direction in the sense that it was not a chick song, but it was still a really mismatched pairing

i think i said this before (maybe not) but they tried to skip to his "lollipop"/"whatever you like" without building up the "go dj"/"fireman"/"rubberband man"/"bring em out" foundation

i mean the most braindead gucci mane decision of all time. obv godfather 3 and stuff were worse.

altho he hasn't fallen off cuz his raps are still largely dope when he's not on songs with wyclef

oh hay jordan

hey man

"gucci time" has grown on me actually

he hasnt fallen off as a rapper but he needs to stick to mixtapes if this is the shit thats gonna happen

u forgot lemonade iirc

so who here has heard the album?

two ferraris parked outside call em solange and beyonce

well "missing" is classique

gucci is on his social media grind today.

i'm gonna take a twitpic of jacques_lamures dick and send it as a tweet

and as a mixtape cover

This has leaked btw

lol people pretending to like non-indie rock

a thread this epic deserves a better troll

jordan bringing the not-really-trying-that-hard-but-still-making-a-point burns

sorry bro that was intense of me, apologies

i'm still waiting for Steve 'Flash' Juon to find this thread while vanity searching himself

it's okay dro

imo this ... is not quite as bad as i was expedcting

is it better than 'ferrari music'

never checked that

yeah it's not as bad as i was expecting either. its dumb that the album seems split between the street stuff and the pop stuff with neptunes et al. i don't mind him working with the neptunes and gucci makes an effort to adapt to it but basically these are just shit songs. i like gucci's flow on haterade but half the songs feels like pharrell's terrible hook - gucci is a genius at writing hooks i mean what the fuck is going on here? this guy is a street rapper who has had a remarkable pop sensibility right from very beginning but it really doesn't come across at all on this record.

'trap talk' is amazing. loving 'missing' and 'what's it gonna be' (in partic the hook!!!). the middle stretch of the album just seems mostly unlistenable to me right now. there's some good stuff at the end 'weirdo' in partic. can't help but think 'grown man' could have been turned from a shit song into an amazing song had you given the same material to block beataz.

basically there is some good "street gucci" on here but there is no brilliant pop crossover hit which really should be what he's going for on the major album. what a shame.

are you talking about the mixtape or the album with the comments above? I know Missing and Weirdo are on the album...

'late' off ferrari music is dope

one of his best songs of the year, easy

yahhhh

also: transcribing that was a blast

also this

tatted up ~song peaks~

is sooooo good, one of my favourite musical instants at the moment. i find the tone of the song up to that point tenuously menacing but also just jokey detached trap talk, and then suddenly it's like he's standing up shaking you by the shoulders. perfectly complimented by the beat drop
