letz talk abt gucci mane

more banjo and glockenspiel tbh

this has been true for a long time, but online culture often celebrates ~the idea~ of a rapper more than the actual rapper, and this seems like a peak example of that

that's kind of been the whole thing since he got out of jail tbh

East Atlanta Santa is way better than anything he's released since getting out. His best bars in years, and he seems to have pushed his producers, too.

good int

his verse on the new big boi song feels vintage to me... suwoo bentley and the forgies suwoo too / and i know two jews eat a case like it's fast food

& considering that he raps about mapquesting to your house, the verse might actually be like 10 years old

well his delivery is today's.

good song

Zaytoven is an inspiration

I read the book, btw. It was a bit short for a guy who has released so much music and has been part of so much, but on the whole it was nice enough. Turns out that big pot belly before he went in was... constipation. Ugh.

i looked up yung pinch, brutal, post malone has a wave

yeah that was a real anticlimax to the Zaytoven video

big time

yung pinch has such a terrible rapper voice

6dogs is the next big white ironic rapper getting a push

lmao yung pinch is terrible

not really a bombshell interview but amusing enough

"Gucci Mane Biopic in the Works"

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/gucci-mane-biopic-paramount-players-1202693921/

Paramount Players and Imagine Entertainment have launched development of a biopic on musician Gucci Mane based on his “The Autobiography of Gucci Mane.”

The studio has obtained life rights to Mane, whose real name is Radric Delantic Davis, and movie rights to the book. Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Erica Huggins will produce the project. Mane and Todd Moskowitz will executive produce.

Mane is a pioneer of the hip-hop genre known as trap music. He made his studio album debut in 2005 with “Trap House,” the first of a dozen studio albums, followed by “Hard to Kill.”

The book tells of his childhood in poverty in Alabama and his move to Atlanta, where he became involved in criminal activity. He spent nearly three years in prison starting in 2004 after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. While incarcerated, he began releasing mixtapes from prison with rappers Migos and Young Thug.

also lol @: "UTA repped Mane in the deal."

I still listen “Lemonade” constantly, 13 years later or whatever it is

Cool his career seems better than ever? Cool and surprising. The new stuff doesn’t do it for me though.

Burr!

like him or not, when this dude was at the top, shit was much more fun. summers of 2009 and 2010 were enhanced by this dude.

I literally get transported back when I hear "Lemonade" or "Making Love to the Money" or anything from that era.

fuuuuuuuck.

agreed

The track samples 1996 song "Rundgang um die transzendentale Säule der Singularität" by Burzum throughout.[2]

haa nice

the new mixtape is pretty good! i like the way it's structured, with collaborations from his young label signees at the beginning, collabs with trap veterans like 2 chainz and project pat in the middle, and solo tracks towards the end.

the hook from this one has been stuck in my head for about a week
