letz talk abt gucci mane

they already did one xp

well isn't today your lucky day http://www.datpiff.com/Gucci-Mane-Future-Free-Bricks-mixtape.256907.html

Damn, too much shit for me to keep abreast of. *goes to DatPiff* Is it any good?

it's cool

eh i was underwhelmed

yeah i don't remember it being much of anything

that was a pretty rough time for gucci

first track is great on that imo

i am realizing that there were a lot of old gucci mixtapes I never dug into. looks like datpiff doesn't have most of em tho (think j0rd said his managers pulled em down)? filestube here we go then.

tempted to d/l the new one but I'm at the point where I have too much new hip hop to listen to and i just wanna let what I have in front of me marinate first. datpiff ain't goin nowhere

well, a bunch of his classic tapes were taken down from datpiff by grayzone inc, which is fucking insane and stupid

very cool and professional logo

was courtside w/ birdman tonight wearing a shirt that said

GET CLEAN
OR DIE

: o

where do you live J0rdan? (forgive my ignorance)

he's saying gucci was courtside

at tonight's heat-Knicks game

oh i live in chicago

gucci was courtside in miami, just saw it on tv

ah, it's more than a bit late here

lol Jordan S kicking it w/ gucci & birdman would be a thread worth bookmarking

seriously

'trap back' has been downloaded from dat piff 340,015 times and streamed another 329,165 times since being put up on 02/05

seems... significant to me

significant how? is that way more or way less than his recent tapes or his earlier classics or what?

it's a lot... three times as much as any other mixtape on datpiff for february, already one of the 30 most downloaded mixtapes in the history of the site

the numbers are a bit skewed since it was an "exclusive" to datpiff but for comparison the t.i. mixtape was posted on new year's day and has 245k downloads

the ross mixtape was posted on 1/6 and has 680k downloads

anyway i guess i have no idea if any of that means anything, just thought that a gucci mane mixtape in 2012 having 300k downloads in a month was a big number

yeah it seemed like a big # but i didn't know what the basis of comparison was -- already almost twice as many downloads as Writings On The Wall 2 so definitely seems like building momentum

still haven't heard this tape yet, are any songs jumping off as hits or something?

i don't think so... just seems like a lot of hype around the tape in general

the leaks were strong and his people actually did a good job of building it up as a big comeback record

no gucci comeback will ever be complete without a series of youtubes detailing his facial tattoo removal surgeries

I also think Trap Back has benefited from being quite a good record, with dudes like Mike Will giving Gucci their best beats. It's probably my most listened to rap record this year, by far.

Production on this tape is off the hook.

the beat for 'brick fair' is gorgeous. zaytoven at his most melodic

definitely. It's a great tape and the production is a huge part

Yeah, the beat on "Brick Fair" is insane. Gorgeous stuff from Zaytoven.

Plain Jane deserves a mention as well.

'walking lick' is my fav track

this track is a fucking classic:

ahahahahaha fuck i love that photo

but yeah that song is amazing

i cosign this excellent mixtape

who did the "plain jane" beat?!

Mike Will

that's my favourite on the tape

thx

mine too, i think, but i'm still getting to know the whole thing

his verse on that new song w chris brown and lil wayne is dope

though that seems like a lot of star power for a random mixtape single

i'm from east atlanta and i say i loud
i got a black ferrari cos i'm black and proud
got a yellow one they're like salt and pepper
when i put them together they stand out

I know this information is in this thread, but I can't quite figure it out - what was the last Gucci Mane mixtape?

I'm Up iirc

yep. and trap lord comes out 10/17

Trap Back and I'm Up have turned into favorite for me. seriously good tapes. can't wait for trap lord

man gucci beefing like a southern 50 rn

yep. and trap lord comes out 10/17

lol at "trap god" having been "trap lord" at some point

the complex thing is cool but why didn't he say a thing about writings on the wall ?

nah it looks like a bunch of sites announced it as Trap Lord back in aug/sep!
