first verse is obv the stone cold classic but i was listening to some old gucci favorites a few days ago and realized how much i/ppl slept on the rest of that song, the second verse is great too

one of the things that pissed me off the most abt the coverage of his stuff was that caramanica argument about how stepping up his lyrics hadnt made him more popular. he had it totally backwards

once again i'll be interested to see what he raps like right after getting out

if anyone can help us retire the whole 'mystique' of jailtime having some kind of perceptible effect on a rapper's musical output it's gucci
― some dude, Friday, 8 July 2011 03:11 (twelve years ago) link
well i always thought that he sounded decidedly more sober on 'mr. zone 6'
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Friday, 8 July 2011 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
also i thought a lot his raps & flows were inventive on that tape, as if one of the only things he had time to do was sit down & write raps
then again he had a lot of inventive raps and flows when he was smoking like a hundred blunts a day, so i don't subscribe to it much either
― Jacques_Lamure, Friday, 8 July 2011 03:16 (twelve years ago) link
well i think you could also argue there's a cumulative effect -- there was a point where being a drug addict either didn't effect or even heightened the music he was making, but at some point the other shoe drops -- again it's more of a thesis than anything that can be proven, but then again i think 'mr zone 6' was the last front to back great thing he put out, & his music was really bad recently when he was doing lots of stupid shit & acting like a total fucked up drug addict
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Friday, 8 July 2011 03:19 (twelve years ago) link
i wouldn't look at lil wayne's career post, say, 'da drought 3' and be like "oh well he used to be so good when he was taking drugs!" because clearly the guy is (or was, before jail) just a constant avalanche of downright awful drug addict music
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Friday, 8 July 2011 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
i'm not sure that timeline really works out. drought 3 came when he was drinking lean like water and basically everything that came out of his mouth was kinda brilliant. then he made a concerted effort to kick the lean and we got his awful simile period and rap rock period.
― Jacques_Lamure, Friday, 8 July 2011 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
i get the feeling that a sober lil wayne would say his lyrics on "drop the world" are better than anything on drought 3

"young buck's verse is dope btw"
Yes. I've been stanning way hard on Buck for the last 18 months or so, cant get enough, he's smashing everything hard atm.
Feeling MVP, Recently (50's cadence is nice) and Translation quite a bit. Good tape.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 July 2011 03:37 (twelve years ago) link
i think drug use is a little easier to connect to music -- lil wayne and eminem both at some point finally burned out the brain cells that made them great rappers. i just think the jail thing is kind of a non-starter, especially for someone like gucci who's been in and out several times over the years and also puts a minimum of real autobiographical detail into his music
― some dude, Friday, 8 July 2011 03:40 (twelve years ago) link
did you guys ever figure out who did the "up my alley" beat? sorry I don't really follow this thread/gucci's career
― gr8080+ (gr8080), Friday, 8 July 2011 09:19 (twelve years ago) link
I think it was Zaytoven

yeah the keys would suggest zay

Fwiw not sure if this is an explanation or an excuse but he mentions in a skit on this hes not writing down his raps any more

"1st day out" is in my top 5 gucci songs. zaytoven is a genius

grady fat boy did tons of gucci stuff, mostly. he used to go by 'fat boi'
― *rolls eyez on me* (D-40), Sunday, 10 July 2011 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
he did 'wasted'
his stuff on here actually sounds more like southside on the track or prince (the rap producer obv) than it does standard fat boy though -- like, 'camera ready' sounds, to me, more like this kind of shit:
