letz talk abt gucci mane

the 'mash up' of gucci with my boo for the h.a.t.e. u remix was 20x the song this one is

that's a good point about it giving an opportunity for people to avoid listening to gucci on his own terms. i'm just wondering to what degree your collectives attitudes are hinged on you guys actually disliking diplo's work, or simply the idea of him remixing gucci. clearly you've enjoyed some of what he's done.

and part of me dreads these mixes coming out, when the salem remix dropped, gorillavsbear posted "he should hire them to make all his beats," whic is like-arghh, he's already got great beats! but maybe that's just the grumpy old man in me.

how have i clearly enjoyed some of what he's done?

I think he was referring to me.

Clearly it won't be as awful as the (admittedly v. enjoyable to listen to) Favela on Blast situation

ha juicy j's flow on "ike turner pimpin" reminds me exactly of gucci on "real as it gets"

LOL @ sampling Mariah's "Can't Let Go." I love that song!

^^i think this comment sums up diplo's audience pretty perfectly

just for the record. lots of people have their own problems with dilpo but that shirt is 100% just for the LULZ

lulz have indeed been had...and they continue to roll in

he deleted this tweet

plus another one shitting on music JOURNALISTS something to the effect of they can't be musicians so they have to "stay relevant"
i'm really pissed I didn't grab that before he deleted it

that's true though

yes. the lulz are true. BELIEVE

let them have that useless debate wherever they want. but not in "letz talk abt gucci mane"

for real. since Piracy Funds Terrorism the guy has looped one Clas song and chopped up a pretty obvious beatles joint into a bmore (cough) re-edit. THAT'S IT. He's almost nearing hack status. Major Lazer fucking sucks ballz and he's clowning himself

*Clash

tbh this has nothing on dude calling Al ugly

surfboards youve done a 180 on dude in a short time.

i heard that major lazer joint w/ the surf guitar in a good dj set the other nite & enjoyed it ... hollercurious?

xp fuck. that sounds kinda funny

i was and still am (to a much lesser degree) a hollersympathizer. i really dont give a fuck about the musical, sociological or moral implications of any of this.

except i now really don't like this dude

im embarrassed for all involved including myself for watching this car crash

eagerly anticipating carles stepping in

this'll likely get on pitchfork news.

i kind of love "i just make beats , peace"

i kind of love "i dont know what adroit means." wasnt dude a teacher? lol faux naif

Caramanica in the Sunday NY Times talking to and about Gucci's music producers-Zaytoven, Fatboi, Shawty Redd, Drumma Boi; plus to Gucci from jail. Also Gucci advisor and A & R man Coach K (Wow, he coaches Duke's basketball team and helps Gucci).

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/13/arts/music/13gucci.html

good article for the most part -- his descriptions of the sounds of atlanta's beats is otm but didnt really resonate w/ me, or something -- like it feels like the piece perfectly summarizing zaytoven's style in particular has yet to be written

cross ref w mentions of 'diplo'

also there are rap blogs

Dude is on Gorilla Vs Bear right now, do you need to see a parade down Bedford Avenue?

Discobelle just said "Free Gucci!" i ain't bullshittin

"Nothing on this track really pops lyrically, but it's a good example of how people like Gucci and Wayne just manage to fill a track with personality. It makes you wonder if Gucci could make a track work just by repeating his name for 4 minutes."

Fucking chillwave band SALEM remixes Gucci

haha jesus yr a dork -- im not a self-hating dude like you, just earlier this week we were talking about how the hipster-embrace of dude has barely yet begun. I know salem remixed dude, we've talked about that before. Shit barely made a ripple. Its gonna happen, esp when the diplo tape comes out.

& what do you know, the only mention of gucci on 'gorilla vs bear' (really gross-looking site btw) is of the diplo remix

"Nothing on this track really pops lyrically, but it's a good example of how people like Gucci and Wayne just manage to fill a track with personality. It makes you wonder if Gucci could make a track work just by repeating his name for 4 minutes."
