Gucci Mane :: Trap House :: Big Cat Records/La Flare Ent.
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon
The most famous thing Radric 'Gucci Mane' Davis has done yet in his young life is be arrested for murder. Before May 19th the only knowledge the public had of Mane was the small amount of success his single "Icy" featuring Young Jeezy had found in some markets before the scheduled national release of his debut album "Trap House" on May 24th. Starved for any kind of press, good or bad, Gucci Mane's people immediately sent out a statement touting that Mane had voluntarily turned himself in to face these charges; subsequently Mane and his attorney managed to post bail and get him out of jail just as the album hit stores.

There was a time in hip-hop music when such an announcement would be viewed as a tragedy - a young man set to make his name nationally throws away his opportunity and faces an uncertain future possibly including jail time. Instead it's a sign of the cynical world that we live in that not only is this news fodder for a press release but viewed as the kind of publicity that could propel him to the top. While it's true that there is a disturbing correlation between the success of rappers and violent gun-related crimes, most were the recipient of the violence. Tupac Shakur survived several attacks on his life, and with each failure the already highly talented artist achieved a more iconic status; his ultimate demise making him a martyr in many eyes and keeping album sales high well after his death. Notorious B.I.G. was already a worldwide rap superstar before he was gunned down and had been for some time. Even 50 Cent had risen beyond local notoriety with several singles like "How to Rob" before the attempt on his life nearly blew his face off. In short, rappers are the victims of their fame, not the perpetrators of the violence in an ATTEMPT to gain fame.

Recently the trend has swung heavily in the other direction. Whether they are truly innocent and being railroaded by the system or as guilty as their convictions would indicate, MC's from Shyne to C-Murder to Pimp C to T.I. have had to do time for their crimes. The remarkable thing about all four is that being locked up has been no impediment to releasing a new album that appears in stores. While Gucci Mane's album was already in the can before he wound up in the pen, it's still telling that all parties involved used the timing of the incident to their advantage. One can only hope Mr. Davis was really not looking for more publicity via these means and that this is just a case of wrong place/wrong time or at the very worst self-defense. When the smoke clears from this incident the debut album "Trap House" still remains as the TRUE platform for Gucci Mane to achieve his success, not these unfortunate charges. Clocking in at 18 tracks including an intro, outro and several skits, this full-length release puts both Mane and Big Cat Records on the map. The latter clearly has big plans, as they even put an ad for an upcoming album by Magic and a "404 vs. 504" compilation underneath the clear tray on which Mane's CD sits.

Now as for the artist himself, the sad truth here is that there's not much to write about other than his arrest record. Mane follows in the recent tradition of debuting Southern rappers whose rhyme schemes are overly simplstic, accents are extra thick, and beats are incredibly uninteresting. Even the lead single "Icy" has a barely passable beat by Xavier Dotson, p.k.a. "Zaytoven" according to the liner notes. I'd hold off on the comparisons to Beethoven just yet if I were him - a simple series of electronic beats and beeps does not a maestro make. Neither rapper in the song has anything interesting to say, but Mane comes off half as clever as Jeezy, who at least manages a semi-clever reference to Ginuwine in his opening verse. Mane has nothing:

"She diggin my fit, she think I'm the shit
Is this a chain on my neck, or the watch in my wrist
Maybe the ice in my ear, or the brace-eh-let
But she look like the type that could take a dick
Uhhhhhhh... young Gucci Mane
Don't kiss me baby you can kiss my chain
Uhhhh - ya gotta be a dime piece
just to look at the rocks in my time piece"

The lyrical critique here is not just of the inane materialistic content, because that type of material is so prevalent in today's hip-hop anyway and there are some who do it well or at least have enough charisma to make it interesting. Mane is charismatic and not completely unpleasant vocally, but adding an extra syllable to the word "bracelet" in order to rhyme it with "take a dick" insults both your eardrum and your intelligence. Furthermore after a certain amount of time one has to question the quality of chicks these "iced out" rappers pull, when they look like tens on the outside but are so vapid on the inside they only care about how much sparkle you wear. It's not as if this song is an exception to the rule and Mane offers more profound wisdom elsewhere on his album. Rather this song is the height of what are otherwise a string of lyrical lows. Here's another example of how clever Gucci Mane is: "Don't let yo' mouth write a check that yo' ass cain't cash/I'm the lawnmower man, and yo' ass is grass." That might have been clever back in 1992 but it's heavily dated today, and the fact it's the hook of a song NAMED "Lawnmower Man" isn't helping. Here's some more of Mane's talent on this track:

"Uhhhhh, I'm from the hood I'll punch ya lights out
... I took your jewelry, now I'm iced out
(icy icy) Gucci Mane got that 'caine in
(I ain't got no bricks) I swear I never tuck my chain in
... You just a thug in trainin
... I'm a thug entertainin"

No Mane, you're not entertaining. The closest this album gets to entertaining is a parody of Dem Franchize Boyz "White Tee" entitled "Black Tee" that features Bun B, Lil Scrappy and Jody Breeze among others - and while the talent on their version is better the Franchize Boyz still win for having a better beat than the one Zaytoven provides here. I'd like to say Gucci Mane has a bright future in front of him as a rapper if he beats the charges, but songs like "Damn Shawty" contradict the statement with ridiculous lyrics like "Shawty got an ass on hurr, I'ma put my hands on hurr, I'ma spend a couple grand on hurr, I'ma pop a rubber band on hurr." Much as I knocked Mike Jones in a review a few weeks ago, one has to give Jones credit for three things: more interesting beats, better hooks to his songs, and a gimmick that's memorable no matter how ridiculous it might be. Gucci Mane has none of these things going for him. His only gimmick right now is his infamy, and even that won't last when people see how vapid his music is.

like garfield odie nigga ima dogg

loool amon

i'm a junkyard dog not a scooby doo
i got that white girl true i'm talking betty boop

^^leave it to gucci to come up w/ the only original white girl reference 10 months after it was a "thing"

i'm just getting through those mixtapes now

i really like this weird raspy croak that he's got when he sings his hooks ("nickelodeon", "haunted house") and originally i thought his mixtape tracks were too blunted to really register for me (whereas back to the traphouse is glossy as fuck and tons of fun to listen to) but i'm kind of digging the mood but maybe i'm just projecting

nickelodeon is insane

no wayne flashbacks intended by using the phrase "weird raspy croak"

less entertaining more educational video of zaytoven talking about working w/ gucci -- real interesting actually

hmm i guess that vid isnt really entertaining as much as disturbing xp

friends and i almost got our brains blown 20 mins ago out by a dude blasting gucci while we were at a stoplight

Wait someone gave you brain at a stoplight while bumping gucci mane?

lol yeah it was so awesome - gucci really brings ppl together

I didn't get time to talk about D & J's 30 Top Gucci Mane Tracks of 2008 last night on DAA. Next week guyz!

haa thnx man!! where do we get to hear this tho

wow that would be cool tim

i am enjoying his album even tho it is very half-assed. i feel bad for paying money for it now that i've watched him sock a woman in the face too.

Yeah that video is fucked. I think the album is pretty great front to back though like 'half assed' is an intentional stylistic decision

yeah it totally is

lol @ hollertronix forum deleting the thread about gucci with all the embarrassing quotes

?

there was this thread that linked to my rap blog's gucci posts which was how i found it, basically it was full of ppl saying funny shit like

all u dudes are fucking idiots. shit has never had anything to do with buzz if no good record is made. gucci doesnt have it in him. whatever its the hollerboard not the place to be talking about street rap trends.

basically there were only like 2 dudes who said they liked his music & it was all borderline-racist stuff about how funny & stupid he was & how he needed to do a rap version of 'trapped in the closet', the rest of it was a bunch of folks saying they didnt get it & didnt think he had any buzz

but now its been deleted RIP

"most exciting music writing this year' - tim f

Argh actually I felt I kind of stuffed that slightly. The time pressures are such that if you don't get out what you're wanting to say immediately you don't get another chance to say it properly. But I was pleased to be able to promote the piece.

I feel like the last show in particular was really good but it isn't online yet.

could someone plz link to the orig. and tim f pieces? you've got me intruiged.

tim's thing is his show

Twenty bands per pocket call it battle of the grands

^______________________________________^

so this glacier mix is nice?

Gucci, you start strong, analytical but don't bind down the line far as I can see. The yearn to move beyond the rule of ugliness, Webster, closed society being the orchestrator of the show of your scant bindings, the academic fall like a crackhead, the truth therein, the fundamental futility (wrong def. ..) the... fickality of science as it is. The truth of introspection ina corrupt sha(m-n..). The easy dominant sadness of the battles that should be silent on youtube, an easy win. The crit loses.

Fault in scant bindings, defense trump, easy. Call me on this I be depressed ? How you really change these bound minds to getting outside, the introversion. This death of language and depression *icial LA

so this glacier mix is nice?

love for gucci tho'

only issue i have with this guy is that some of these rhymes read clearer than they sound when he actually raps 'em

so what is the one must have post-jail, pre-Writing On The Wall mixtape??? I copped the Glacier one, haven't really given it a listen, considering the Guccimania one...is one more essential than the other, is there on or two I'm missing, or should I just not bother and wait til Writing comes out?

i need to know

also, why no talk about Warner Brothers?

y'all actually riding for juiceman is like desperate '05 dipset stans going "omg hell rell is so awesome"

not really, dude at least has some style -- hes def not on gucci level or anything tho

the guy can rap \(o_O)/ - and believe me i have nothing invested in wacka flocka flame

wacka indeed! (wack means bad!)

also don't compare us to any sort of dipset stan until we start writing about how amazing gucci's song about a bowel disorder is

the oj twitter is fake right?

yeah i love that they seem to have accepted him how he is and not tried to channel him towards a more conventional marketable style.

he said that he flew up in ny to record in the studio w her!

so they could better understand each other's swag, he said

not sure how long it will be (if ever) that gucci himself decides to alter his image (mixtape wayne to carter 3?)

ha that sounds so awesome

supposedly his album got pushed up (!) to sept - so i guess it shouldn't be too far off. but i dont think he'll alter his image any and i think in general that wayne is a bad comparison for gucci - i think what wayne did with his career was a one in a million type thing - i would look for gucci's career as a commercial artist to follow that of jeezy's instead of wayne's - he'll have a "go crazy" (if not a "soul survivor") instead of a "lollipop" i think

yeah, wayne's rise is one serious headfuck. but i think gucci could be marketed as way more of a popstar if he chose to, he can write amazing choruses and is prefectly capable of enunciating clear enough for the radio, plus he can pick a beat. just some bigtime producer and a few more well placed guest appearances and maybe he'll blow.

yeah he does write amazing choruses, that is true

i'm just saying he prolly could become a star, it's really up to him

im sure he wants to become a star + i think he's a much more thoughtful/reasoned/cerebral guy than people give him credit for

i figure he has lotsa fun being who he is and even if he does put alot of interview stock into being about his grind and getting that money he still is in love with rapping and is entirely comfortable with the trajectory his career has taken and is taking

he already is a star dudes --

this has become one of my top 5 gucci tracks ever btw -- its so genuinely WEIRD

the most fucked up use of auto-tune ever, just applied it over normal rapping. it's gud, but i'm so glad he didn't adopt it as a regular tool.

it's almost like a mockery

are you really anticipating the gucci major label release? i mean this like, expecting it to be something more than Back to the Traphouse...cuz we're talking about either Carter III level hype or just another trap rap album. which is it gonna be

back to the traphouse was three years ago and he's an infinitely better rapper, so yes, i'm anticipating the gucci mane major label release

this song is amazing (hottest in the nation)

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhPh9i93VfkuwkpoQR

3 new videos + 2 new leaks incl the full song w/ juvie

happy father's gucci mane day yall

the "she got a friend" video is soo sick!

"baby tell your man ill blam him with the damn hamma/ fly as soulja boy, gucci bandana santana" <-- this is a dope line from juelz

big boi's verse kinda never gets off the ground but it's pretty cool nonetheless - def the worst of the three tho

i love the "we goin ham when cd drop" slowed down though

also when juelz goes "I jsut like em nasty" he sticks he pinky finger up his nose. classic

'she got a friend' is old j0rdan s. (in internet time anyway)

i posted the lyrics awhile ago

holy shit @ gucci rapping with juvenile's style!!!

boy oh boy do i look forward to bloggers having this argument 8000 times over the next year

yah i mean its obviously true, but just making that point right now is pretty boring -- i was saying this to j0rdan earlier but i think continuing to treat the discourse around dude like these clueless internet okayplayer fruitflies are a significant % of rap fans or that these particular rap fans should even MATTER when talking about his music any more is really probably best avoided. consider the frame here ... every time u are like "CANT BELIEVE FOLKS SLEEP ON GUCCI, ACTUALLY (c. max) HES A GENIUS" its just giving these dudes more power than they really should have ... no one is really sleeping on gucci at this pt.

at least, who shouldnt be

sittin at the round table, money tall as a skyscraper
74 o's the color of now and laters
alligator flo's, my house got elevators
haters decapitate em, gucci's the undertaker

haha this is such classic lyricism ... luv it

the "photoshoot" video reminded me of how good that little intro thing is

like tommy lee and pamela im fuckin on the camera
mo stamina than animals, gucci is no amatcha
jahru the damaja could damage you or handle ya
2 girls on my bike, one on the back on the handlebars

got canada on calanda so shout out to my manaja
i walk through in south africa, i shot them bout 4 acuras

my car's getting washed by this ugly ass junky,
i keep laughin like a woman but it ain't shit funny.

that's like my most favourite image in a gucci track ever, it's so complete despite being just a couple of lines long.

mo stamina than animals, gucci is no amatcha
jahru the damaja could damage you or handle ya

ugh @ transcribing the pronunciation

can someone explain to me who the fukk this dude is supposed to be parodying:
wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/2009/06/gucci-mane-lyrical-genius-outsider.html

who on earth is slotting gucci into feminist critiques? who is comparing him to ellison? who the fuck is evening listening to a gucci song called "booty shorts"?

omg u are sooooooooo mad

jordan s said...
this is a good blog post that directly addresses the points that have been made as to why gucci mane is a great rap lyricist

JUNE 26, 2009 11:08 PM

yeah well he doesn't say "amateur" because it doesn't rhyme with "stamina"

u should notice that he didnt even link to a post of mine -- im defending u here!!

what is there even to say about the post though? the guy is just taking criticisms of gangster rap that have been around since i was like 2 years old and projecting them onto gucci with the example being some track that i've never even heard of. there's no point to even respond to

i dunno it seems to be getting a lot of attention on its own.

and if someone is gonna imply that im a racist for saying that gucci is a good lyricist with an unusual vocabulary or whatever it is then im just gonna go "lol internet" because what else is there to say

i dunno something abt it really bothers me. maybe its just annoying that its so stupid

its giving me 'stuff white people like' extremely imprecise satire vibes

it's getting attention because people who aren't feeling gucci can rally around this piece of writing that doesn't address the music because it's much easier to do that than to articulate why he's not a good rapper and even easier than to admit that the guy is a good rapper. i would have the same response if people on blogs started rallying around ethan's joke review of 'like father, like son' - this gucci post is as much of a joke

plus dude cmon i was getting bored w/ defending mj from the internet

alright

^^this is from the guy who wrote the "hysterical satirical piece" on lil wayne/zac efron - i think this basically proves my point as to who this is catering to and why it isn't worthy of a response

real glad i ended up not posting anything abt that aside from in its comments section

"doczeus is sounding pretty 'sensitive' to me."

I'm sorry didn't you pop shots on your blog at Gordon and proceed to promptly delete your post when you realized you looked childish and foolish? Have the courage to, at least, stand by what you believe in. Grow some balls, son.

well not exactly

i already responded to that & basically put forth my philosophy of ignoring morons who still dont get it. they have to 'approve' the comments

should have followed that in the first place but talking w noz abt the philaflava thread where i guess everyone is cosigning this post had my *rolling my damn eyes* again

yes i know this is more than i should have bothered with

responding to gucci bashers is not something that shouldn't be done it's just that it people who hate him are unwilling to engage with his music so there are no real arguments to respond to - the only one i can think of was jayson greene in that coke blunts comment section but what he was saying was like... wildly off base even objectively

even this guy doczeus in the comments of this spends 200 words talking about regional biases

uhhh said...
um nah heres real talk:

gucci is gangster rap. Some ppl like to pretend gangster shit is 'over' as if the streets are passe. they also like to accuse folks taking street shit seriously of overwriting.

in the initial arguments for gucci's relevance i dont see much hyperbole or whatever. (i dont understand a word of what brandon says, but im not sure hes using 'hyperbole' like is being parodied here per se).

basically here is how i break it down to an extent: gucci is a great rapper. no academia needed to back that up. hes super lyrical & raps about standard gangster rap topics. if u dont get it, u are probably a softbatch blogger who at best is just parodying people for not being very good writers / very good at expressing appreciation. you still dont have interesting opinions of your own & mos def's record isnt better than gucci's just because gucci has a song called 'booty shorts'

ok so which ilxor is this? is it you deej under an assumed name?

i hope you realize that GM wouldn't even warrant the ire of all these reactionary Bill Cosby-ass rap blogs if you guys hadn't zealously oversold the whole "gucci is such a lyricist in the classic sense" angle

also sarge when you call people who don't like your favorite rapper "bashers" you come off pretty butthurt even if that's obviously what you're trying not to do

really bummed that my car broke down this weekend so I couldn't make it out to this:

he is a great lyricist some dude. & i dont think we were zealously overselling anything -- keeping in mind u were sleeping when we wrote that shit too

this is exactly whats annoying me abt this 'debate' -- its totally changing the terms on which ppl are discussing his music.

i'm just saying, you guys really set the terms of discourse that allowed these cornballs to turn GM into their platform for boring-ass discussions of racism and trying to read a rapper's "intelligence" based on their songs

i think that stream of discussion has happened every time a new rapper surfaces ...? I think after the clipse/jeezy pitchfork thing dudes were just waiting for the next street rapper who has a 'stupid' persona to be taken seriously so they could pull this, i mean theyve been saying the same damn things about noz ever since he took soulja boy seriously so

im not really sure what we could have done to avoid this

im happy that we've set the discourse as gucci as a classical lyricist because he is. and i agree with deej that gucci is just being held up as "generic southern rapper x" for people who want to bash gangster rap be it for the misogyny or the drug talk or the fact that the guy doesn't rap like nas or whatever it is. as i've said, i have read very few reasonable criticisms of gucci's music and even more to the point very view criticisms directly to things that i and david write. even in noz's comments section, which basically turns into a gucci discussion whenever he posts a song, there seem to be a lot of people who are like "i wasn't fucking with dude but he's great yeah!"

also sarge when you call people who don't like your favorite rapper "bashers" you come off pretty butthurt even if that's obviously what you're trying not to do

im just trying to use a catchall term - "bashers" or "detractors" or "people who don't like gucci mane" or whatever it is

yeah i dunno -- basically i think noz's super sarcastic post ("He’s way smarter than anybody who was ever on Rawkus (except for maybe Big L because he was a drug dealer)") was the way to go with this shit. the problem is these cornballs were writing epic tracts about Lil Wayne well after LW was too big for their ridiculous theories to have any effect, but since GM's record sales haven't caught up with his popularity yet all these hacks are trying to be gatekeepers, like 'blog buzz' can stop a career from growing the same way it can put guys on the XXL cover.

prefer gucci to GM

i prefer just about anything to discussing abbreviation preferences for "gucci mane"

:)

kinda sad to see that in the guardian's bit on obsessed, there is nothing mentioned about the gucci remix.

you're british!

apology accepted

ha, yeah.

also this

unnamed source tells of gucci's plans to 'clean up'
lol @ thought of gucci getting a personal trainer

heavy breathing adlib joke

"that boy bad"

gucci pull up shawty go and tell everybody
maserati stinkin like a god damn dead body
red monkeys on my ass, ten grand in every pocket
so icey plug man, plug me into any socket
so mad i beat a charge then i made a rap about it
sean paul's in the hood i bet i get a hundred out it
money stackin to the point where i can't count it
i need a new accountant, lost my mind and still aint found it
higher than a martian, but not a local artist
when i was a local artist, 10 bricks in my ma's apartment
glove compartment full of white, trunk filled with green
plus im smokin on the kush, rollin on a bean
on the scene, fresh and clean like a money machine
purple kush, purple lean, purple donk on things
sellin dreams, gucci understand me
i'm a walking bank roll, you can rubber band me

this blog guy is just bitter that a rapper can generate hype on the internet these days without being officially ranked one place above Blueprint in Jason Seagrave's Top 50

three x-men fell victim to my 40 cal, little smurfs tryna act like they were gargamels

Gucci Mane not Stephen King but my car crazy like Christine.

zaytoven's studio is in his parents basement!!

jingle bells
bubble kush smells

drop top beem, passenger seat celebrity
seven chains on so gucci mane shining heavily

my car got personality, the grille be smiling honey
my rims are very charming and my leather seats are comfy
gucci major money shawty i get crazy cloudy
have a baby be me probly maybe i'll buy you an audi
maui wowey, stupid cloudy, loudy got me rowdy rowdy
chevy caprice 73 play master p im bout it bout it
prints color mariah carey, if they're candid ask about it
tell em that big gucci said it, so icey get stupid with it
drop top beem, passenger seat celebrity
seven chains on so gucci mane shining heavily
cocaine heavenly, soft white prejudice
all white bricks same color as my necklace

^^second verse

first verse

(intro)
jiiiingle bells
bumble kush smells
6-7-5 one ounce
my trap do numbers, chickens all summers
but come back dawg year out, out

my swag turned up, my swag got an amp
your tramp seen the champ and her pussy got damp
chickens with the stamp
i count so much money that my fingers got a cramp
if you're not with that camp, i suggest you better vamp
i'm rollin up the plant, gucci mane's an alien and youre not even ant
never say can't, ball, kevin durant
camp shine like lamps; guns, grass game gramp
crack a egg, that's my charm, like an omelette on my arm
cuz my diamonds are my sons, yellow diamonds for my mom
he'll go to the prom, sellin dope what i was doin
lamborghini, beemer, corvettes and my ten year class reunion

my flow so weird
diamonds same color as santa clause beard
ho ho hoes i think santa clause here
dashing through the snow in my old school chevrolet
over the hills we go, neena, i sold so much dope

third verse (i tried)

[???] jumper, i can't throw a slider
but gucci mane's a rider, slide by any spider
spiker, viper, vette with rally striper
tiger stripe piss in my house, ran into bite ya
scandals way higher, don't have time to tie em
cocaina fry em, gas don't cut the eye uh
bags full of kushy, beg a pussy to push me
brick ya from the roofie, uses it for a cushion
gushin, whippin, my watch is good lookin
attractive, handsome, damn that bitch is lookin
gucci admit it, realest that ever did it
committed, my ceiling's on penny gutter and gritty

The beat is ridiculous.

what song are you talking about here

"weird"

http://sharebee.com/adfefbd6

and yes, the beat is next level and gucci's lyrics are retarded in the best way possible

everything about this track is like... an 8 level jump icy tower style

tim f if you read this thread this song really reminds me of wayne circa lil weezyana

"first drive then ride" is also crazy and also has a fucked up wayne verse but it sounds mismatched verse so i think it's some bootleg bland

alright holy shit that's gucci in like suuuuuuuper autotune - couldn't even tell it was him (obv) until he shouted himself out

O_O

autotune haters take note that there are two normal verse and then the... other one

Jordan: Is there anything new I should be checking out? I have The Writings On The Wall mixtape and just happened to check cocaine blunts for the first time in ages to hear Weird and wanna know what else I should be hearing. The more I hear Gucci, the more I like him. (And Zaytoven too I guess. Does he do beats elsewhere?)

yeah the 'gucci the glacier: zone 6 polar bear' mixtape has a bunch of good stuff ("ice", "look like this", "ridiculous remix", "wasted", "30 inches remix") otherwise i think it's just a bunch of random tracks. i kind of have trouble keeping track of what is on what mixtape. basically this is the playlist that i run with (you could find all these by googling i think, if there's any you don't have and can't find online, i'll upload them)

(these are strictly songs he's released in 09 btw)

awesome (ft snoop dogg)
dont trust her (ft ludacris)
first day out
first drive then ride
gorgeous
hustlers anthem remix (ft oj)
ice (ft oj)
look like this (ft lil scrappy)
never too much remix (ft three 6, project pat, oj & yung joc)
ridiculous remix (ft oj, yo gotti & lonnie mac)
she got a friend (ft juelz santana & big boi)
tall rims (ft oj & yo gotti)
wasted (ft plies)
weird
wonderful
wrist gliss
2 seats (ft yo gotti)
30 inches remix

those songs + writing on da wall is basically what i play in terms of 09 stuff

Cheers. When I eventually turn off this Pill tape, I will get on that. :)

'crush on you'?

actually, trappin got me counting money rapidly
wheels spin backwardly, brick squad factory

BY THE WAY

http://dirtyglovebastard.blogspot.com/2009/07/audio-dj-drama-gucci-mane-movie-part-2.html

wouldn't be a letz talk about gucci mane revive w/o me fucking up the first lyric i post

actually, trappin got me counting cash rapidly
wheels spin backwardly, brick squad factory

rims on my M made your trim wanna lay with him
slim with the tilted brim, flashing all the diamond gems

"burr"

(first verse)

my money growin like a chia pet
ch-ch-ch-chea
and my ears like a quarter mill
is you for real?
and my lam is a shark with gills
look at the rims
and my beemer coupe got spinning wheels
like they on peel
[??] sixes on my old school and my rolls royce
swear to god drumma boy i only drove that bitch once
ball players where gucci live, that's how we chill
my bank account big as a baseball field, that's for the deal
my pocket full of old big head white dudes
cuz i get 40 thou just to walk through
schedule booked up, now i cant make room
pissy jewelry like my jeweler got it from your restroom

them niggas in the hood mad cuz i got cash
probly cuz i ride by fast, new tags
jumpin out the back of the phantom like damn
don't like so motherfuckin handsome ma'am?
"man fuck gucci, so icey ain't a movie"
so icey ain't a movie, pussy nigga is you stupid?
cuba shoot arrows, i shoot double barrels
retarded ass diamond watch like lil darrel
a nigga named harold, who used to go to darrel's
if i don't call brah, backseat of a jaguar
homie youre the lick, 30 bricks bought a camaro
it's gucci mane la flair just like my apparel

the third verse is kind of incomprehensible

[???] leaguer, search and seizure, get way from vehicle
believe, i've been smoking reefer, i don't believe ya
at least let's go by police, damn what a relief
if he beef with under the seat, just like people leave
i bequeath me into my seat, you know i'm a g
she petite, but she such a freak, tear down the boutique
eagle street, we rack up receipts, damn i'm such a thief
[??] yo girlfriend soon as you aint, take her out to eat
at the [??] say she incomplete so she fuckin me
the elite, gucci mane a g, drumma on the beat
drumma believe what you can't achieve, man just look at me
cuz my life a living testimony, gucci doesn't breach

(i think)

"beat it up" FEATURING MY MANS TREY SONGZ >:O

i hop out my bed, turn my swag on
scrambled eggs, filet mignon
two sheets blown, just fuck alone
money never limited, so icey with benefits
my driveway need a passport, all my cars are immigrants (<------- wow)
ech! it's so sickening, history you're witnessing
i had her cuz she quit me, now i'm single wanna get with me?
sticky game, they stick to me, if you see your chick with gucci
think before confronting, ruling, it ain't my fault your lady choosy
430s still blowing purpy, 08 verty rollin dirty
wardrobe clean as dish detergent, got yo girlfriend pickin purses
say she lonely, gucci only, one wish to meet me in person
when she met me, oh my nigga, told me that she [???]

your girlfriend keep callin me, i feel like she stalkin me
you went home and she with me, so morning is an argument
gucci mane be doggin it, be down there straight poundin it
drillin on yo sheets got your blanket at the laundromat
way baby girl throw it back, old man might catch heart attack
gucci mane not hardly that, smack it like i'm mad at that
sweaty sex so passionate, oral sex she mastered that
pornographic poses like she posing for the internet
one hour not finished yet, never been a minute man
always dinner business man, gotta catch the finish man
got her man, "oh really now", actin like i give a damn
used to lock her, now i don't, got a shorter attention span

i transcribed that one out of completism

gucci, trey songz, put it on
my shirt off when i preform
she say this her favorite song
she got on my favorite thong
she so hot, too hot to touch
too feeling, too much for lames
gucci mane i'm extra clean
so extra rubbers on my brain
got yo main thang screamin gucci
every tuesday night we do it
wish we could do it more often
but i'm often somewhere flossin
lay it down like carpet, barbie
aston martin, double park it
beat it like we got a problem
pop it till she call me poppa
freakin partners probly never bother with a second option
hoppin, got the mattress poppin, rockin while her girlfriend watchin
freakin partners probly never bother with a second option
hoppin, got the mattress poppin, rockin while her girlfriend watchin

"gucci" featuring shawnna and gucci mane

(gucci's verse, third)

gucci mane he crazy, but that boy still my favorite
he got so much flave-it, swag so persuasive
club going mayham, so icey fan mail
gucci mane out of jail, flexin in a yellow lam
gucci, ma, movie, no she not a groupie
stupid crazy booty, coogi, louie, uzi

[a line said in a whisper and i can't understand it]
she a gucci zombie, yeah a gucci junkie
magic city mondays, me, her, throwing money
gucci mane her baby, that boy drive her crazy
gucci mane my favorite, sweat no one, replace it

shawnna and nicki minaj, that should be

"cuba shoot arrows, i shoot double barrels"

cupid????

"i hop out my bed, turn my swag on
scrambled eggs, filet mignon
two sheets blown, just fuck alone"

2 g's blown, just for cologne

both are right i think

"hottest rapper"

200 k for necklace cuz i'm the chief executive
my cocaine counter prejudice, my whole click consecutive [?]
fuckin all celebrities, gucci mane be flexin like a motherfuckin mexican
whole body started like a mexican, gucci sip lean all day like a texican
flyer than a pelican, rich as a republican
rap game smotherin, leer jet hoverin
40 k a show man [?? dj drops] ya bitch so story

NO CHORUS

"overboard"

btw i still don't really understand what this means - i thought i had transcribed it wrong tbh

yeah i'm not sure it means anything i just read it as heavily alliterative nonsense and i go nuts when dudes obviously love the sound of words

okay me too - feelin that line

I been hearing that line in "Hottest Rapper" as "my pinky ring pretty but my index handsome"

i like it more when gucci makes sense -- id say 70% of the time when i think its just him being LOL weird it turns out i just misheard him & it actually makes sense.

btw 'the movie 2' is pretty good imho, not as consistent as most of his tapes but his drama joints have been like that anyway ... pop-ier expensive beats, more immediately memorable joints, without sacrificing lyrics or weirdness or edge. Just way more inconsistent. But like "swag overboard," that shit sounds like a future hit to me if u nix the LA The darkman verse ... how great is that fuckin chorus btw??? incredible

his track w/ trey songz, esp the last verse, which is just bonkers

yeah man - CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO SAY THIS BUT - i think they should release that trey songz joint as a single!! chorus and beat are cool and the verses are pretty incredi (second one excepted) - i think it sounds how the mario/garrett/gucci joint SHOULD sound

im not really a drumma boy fanboy but his beats on this are dope - his elastic bounciness fits great w/ gucci, which i should've known from "photoshoot" but u kno

i bolded the parts i know that i got wrong for sure

"pressure"

the waves in my fade i think a bitch need a surfboard
our thang on the track like she need christian vice lords
blood land king if you're fang call your ragga
whole clique flagged up, go and get toe tagged up
black card, white guts, you can call it oreo
gucci bring pies to your door like he dominoes
soldier like geronimo, my house big as the pentagon
[drama drops] like texaco but now i'm finna buy the one
rims on my M made your trim wanna lay with him
slim with the tilted brim, flossing all the diamond gems
actually, trapping got me counting cash rapidly
wheels spin backwardly, brick squad factory

i dont got no brain no more, my brain probly in lost and found
if you find it give it to me, i'll give you a hundred thou
give you worth of jewelry on, wedding band, right now
bling blow, girl ow, kids see it say "wow"
chopper size of your child, rims big as your house
when you see me, girl smile, i stay full of lil [???]
in the back with the scrap and the cooked up crack
ten pounds allowed, two hundred thou
but dead hoes could see me now, i bet i make sun valley proud
bouldercrest my stopping grounds, still tip toe down to stomp you down
forty glock ya, double pump ya, fuck yo fucka walk a truck in
gucci mane, invisible mane, around here but can't see me, lames!
flow so hot like stovetop, [???]

"alot"

(first verse)

my time piece custom, tennis shoes custom,
90 bricks just passed customs, i aint even touched em
may not even bust em
any rapper challenge me, verbal race, dust em
my gang ya not accustom
you got on a costume, actin like a ball [??]
zap you with a bar stool, like fo said, rush him
everybody jumpin
gucci mane so bossed up, old mack didn't get to hush him
god can only judge me, lord can only judge him
he don't have a porsche so, guess somebody stuck him
"gucci got a fly mouth, somebody punch him"
last nigga tried that, head looked like a pumpkin
i don't give a fuck if you fucks don't give a fuck

(second verse)

gucci got an aresenal
heard he ride with carbon fifteens with grenade launchers on em
tech nine with the cool-it on it
if you want it, take it off me, i'll put all my jewelry on it
take it? fuck, replace it, aint no need to put insurance on it
homie got a ipod, lil mama need insurance on em
like my nigga wocka flocka, don't want a bag of money
sniper rifle, shoot yo pussy ass from across the corner
i be lyin in my lamborghini, game, sexin women
thinking back when i was in cutlass with no air conditioning
this track is a partner with me, think i got a heart condition
got so much jewelry on, leave yo ass with blurred vision
honestly, i tote so much money i can't wear true religion
you niggas be truly snitches, start askin bout old arrestes
you niggas no competiton
it's gucci

(third verse)

gucci mane phenomenon, napkins with three numbers on
fuckin with a rubber on, yellow lam, yellow blunt
me and money got a [???], you and the rest don't get along
no you can not have a light, right now cuz i'm never home
pictures on my camera phone, make a nigga wanna rap
wanna be like gucci mane, wanna live off any track
no this ain't the life of [??], think before you enter
hungry as a ninja, had the [??] out and leave her
make you a believer when you see me with the eagle
street sweeper shoe people cuz they think they deeper
deeper than this rap shit, dead people can't talk
blind men can't see, gucci knock your head off

shoot people**

is

me and money got a [???], you and the rest don't get along

me and money got a bond, you and the rest don't get along

your jeweler is a loser, my jeweler is bi-polar
i'm colder than the polar, my yellow ring is solar

if "wasted" had a promo push i think it could be huge tbh - maybe it will be like "ain't i" and will be a hit in the spring

the beat kinda reminds me of "back that azz up"

i'm already hearing "Wasted" on the radio more than any of his other solo tracks since "Freaky Gurl," would not be surprised if it ends up really big

Beginning of pressure, I think

the waves in my fade I make a bitch need a surfboard
I bang on the track like she needs crips and vice lords
blood land kings if you bang, throw your rag up...

"christian vice lords" is funnier tho

gucci that is not even real

hahaha

yeah i was gonna change those but i figured "blood land king if you're fang call your ragga" was good for some lols

Beginning of pressure, I think

the waves in my fade I make a bitch need a surfboard
I bang on the track like she needs crips and vice lords
blood land kings if you bang, throw your rag up...

i just listened again its actually

the waves in my fade I make a bitch need a surfboard
I bang on the track like GDs, crips and vice lords

i actually think this first guest verse is kinda hard ... not all these weed carrier verses are bad at all ... but fuck LA the Darkman & Wocka Flocka

"but dead hoes could see me now, i bet i make sun valley proud"

'i cut more girls than wolverine' with the beat dropping is one of my favorite moments on the tape. i also really like that part where it sounds like he says sponge bob. no idea what's he's saying though.

has it ever occurred to you guys that a) some rappers' lyrics aren't really flattered by being typed up or read and b) gucci is one such rapper?

not really & i disagree

actually thats a lie, it has occurred to me about SOME rappers obv. but no, gucci's lyrics are awesome to type out

this track is fire http://www.zshare.net/audio/639708208f2def02/

joc/gucci/oj/minaj called "birds"

i can't make out everything but there's some amazing shit

im wilt chamberlain, charms dancin and danglin
pot, skrr-scrapin it, cookie cutters & bakeries

i blowed up, i'm blowin up them particles
gucci mane's a trapper but that question's rhetorical
go ask a oracle, better yet read an article
feds use binoculars, gucci sellin tilapia

we choppin ya, poppin ya, stand on top of ya
helicopter transferrin ya to the doctor uh

that's a good look for nikki on the hook. not that i dislike her rapping. just you can tell she has mainstream ambitions.

tho i'm hesitant to do this after deej (rightly) carved my shit up last time,
just because it's is fun to do and because i fear that otherwise these verses will just disappear into the internet ether...

it's on person, i'm one person, but i'm twerkin'

but i'm wilt chamberlain, charm dancin' and danglin'
pot scrr scrapin' it, cookie cutters and bakeries
you hustlin' lazily, blow? your weight is on marginal
green kush, white cane, pill color of cardinal
i blowed up, i'm blowin' up them particles
gucci mane's a trapper but that question's rhetorical
go ask an oracle, better yet read an article
feds use binoculars, gucci sellin' tilapia
twin chopp-e-rs, poppin' ya, stand on top of ya,
helicopters transferrin' ya to the docter-a
see i'm the author of cookie cappin' and chargin' ya
while i'm burnin yay in my kitchen just like an arensal

i'm not even gonna bother putting any question marks because it's all suspect

good start

--nicci mane

i think that's pretty much 100% otm except i think it's "twin chopper ya" or "twin choppin ya"

hook is really dope too

gotta respect nikki for having the foresight to hook up with both gucci and weezy. a few blowjobs bought her like a half a decade of guaranteed blog prominence

you hustlin' lazily, slow your weight is on marginal

i think

otherwise nice work. hes killing it!!

also like to point out that joc's verse on this is at least on par w/ plenty of verses off the last clipse

gonna listen to some of this new shit tonight. not really feeling that no flow drumma boy track tbh.

"wasted" jumped 10 spots on hip hop/r&b this week (29 to 19) if anyone cares

so warner bros actually shut down cocaine blunts bcuz of his gucci mp3s ... retarded

the fuuuuck

i hope -- and i mean this sincerely -- that you dudes aren't next

oh my god

serg checked & we havent gotten any emails from them

it's a good thing that i never got around to posting a .zip file of our gucci mane top 30 like everyone in the comments asked for

this is mental, especially considering blog leaks is the only reason gucci is a big name artist these days.

well, not the only reason certainly, but it's just immeasurably counterproductive - shit like this NEVER ceases to amaze

Well I don't remember Warners having any direct influence on him blowing up. As internet is where a very large percentage of his fans lie, and people like me telling friends about the top tracks thing on sms (obv your influence much bigger here) which has influenced to buy actual mixtapes with actual monies, this just seems beyond fucking stupid. Cocaine Blunts was essentially 50% of where I got my gucci news from, as I don't read many rap blogs and like noz, so now i'll just hear about 50% less new gucci.

there's an update up on cocaine blunts now

yeah i mean - it's hard to tell even now how much blog buzz translates into real world results, but i think it's telling that nah right hasn't had a high profile label beef in a long ass time. they are leaking bp3 tracks and at the same time are almost mocking jay - they clearly aren't scared of def jam and i think it's because all major labels are now aware of nah right's influence & importance (slaughterhouse maybe an example of the contrary but dudes were pimping drake like a motherfucker before he blew up)

with something like gucci it's much harder to tell - i can certainly say that our gucci mane posts have helped mine & deej's profile more than gucci's, but on the other hand i think we - along with noz - have definitely helped to legitimize the idea of gucci mane in the critical atmosphere. would a gucci mane mixtape have gotten a review in SPIN (albeit a perfunctory one) if it wasn't for the writing on our blog & noz's blog etc? i dont know, but i like to think so. again, how much does it matter? sean fenn & tom breihan have been pretty vocal supporters of our gucci writing but it's not like you saw a gucci feature in VIBE or big gucci coverage on pitchfork. so who knows. i don't think blogs are responsible for "wasted" having a rapid ascent up the charts with literally zero promotion. i think that's from clubs and more organic real people word of mouth type thing.

all that said, this is really really really fucking stupid on warner's part because it can only help gucci, even if it's "help" that's barely above negligible. noz in particular tho.

Yes but surely 'organic real people word of mouth type thing' is coming from people hearing stuff on the internet and passing it onto friends these days? Everyone, even my dad, has their favourite place on the net to find about music; uses spotify/last.fm instead of the radio etc.

Messing with one of the big name rap bloggers who also writes for one of the two big hiphop publications who just had yr rapper on the cover = fucking, fucking stupid. It might only influence 5 percent of gucci fans, but if they are the 5 percent who tell the other 95 what to look out for

'organic real people word of mouth type thing'

there's definitely an element of that yeah, but there's def a huge element of ppl hearing them from other places - djs in clubs, radio, 'big name' mixtapes like drama stuff that ppl can & will still physically cop - i think it's easy to forget that tons of fans of big budget genres don't know shit about mp3 blogs - again, you'd think that slaughterhouse was a big fucking deal if you went by blogs, but they're pretty damn invisible in real life

we are totally in agreement tho about this whole noz thing and the idea of majors going after blogs in general

lol people supporting yr music doesn't stop it being shit. poor slaughterhouse and asher roth, it's like nah right care in the community.

:( this is really sad

I think you're underselling yourselves there Jordan which is admirable but come on! the internet, blogs and yes the occasional leak are all established parts of the game now. this is 2009 and every rapper has a twitter for christs sake xp

bare grills (tpp)

this is dope

RIP cocaine blunts, u were da best

today i heard a radio DJ basically say "everyone requesting the version of Wasted with Plies on it, please stop, we're not legally allowed to play it anymore" -- Gucci's label fucking up all over the place already

damn that's seriously fucked up

the idea of taking a good song and putting OJ Da Juiceman on it at the exact moment you think you're about to hear your favorite verse is kind of a hilariously unintentional rickroll though imo

I feel like doing a remix of "Benjamins" where the second the beat changes and Biggie's about to come in, suddenly you just hear "Ay! Ay! Ay!"

hahaha

the version climbing up the billboard charts is still the plies version tho?

yeah -- I'm sure it's a matter of days/weeks before WB has Billboard change the chart entry, though. those things are all dictated by the labels and it doesn't really matter which version of a song is contributing to its total airplay numbers (same reason that for instance the "I'm So Hood" remix gave it a big chart bump but the original still had the chart entry).

hahah dammit i was just gonna go to my preferences and take the booty blastin' name....shoulda known the tru master would have already snagged it

Jeff Tweete is better anyway imo

the only line of 'wasted' anyone knows not from the chorus is plies 'wasted like the white boys' one

judging from the ppl i work with anyway

^^^^otm

anyway to what a hoy hoy & j0rdan were talking about ...

i think our piece/discussion on blogs matters in the way that the media/critics will ultimately receive his music ... the chicago reader recently made his show a 'critics choice' & linked to our site when he came thru the congress, & i think if you have a lot of critics saying "hey im going to stop & take him seriously" it means something w/r/t how he will be received by 'history' -- so in that sense i think we 'matter'

i dont think we matter much in terms of gucci's first week sales. i certainly dont think cocaine blunts is going to matter in terms of gucci's street buzz. thats not where ppl are hearing gucci from. they're getting from traditional physical mixtapes & youtubes of mixtape tracks. Also from club play. 99.99% of gucci fans have no idea what cocaine blunts is.

you would know more than me but i dont think that's completely true - surely a large portion of his fanbase doesnt get its shit from a rap blog but you gotta think that the few that do spread his shit either thru word of mouth or going and calling his shit in to radio...it's not a direct effect but could there be a non-negligible ripple effect early adopters on computers start?

yeah, like, blogs had no hand in "photoshoot" becoming a super popular gucci song - but it is his most searched for track on youtube, he performs it live even tho it's never been officially released, he made a video for it like 8 months after it came out all because it just accumulated buzz 'organically' - in clubs & through word of mouth & things like that

basically like the end game is this - if gucci mane charts on pazz & jop next year, "early" gucci mane backers like us & noz & brandon soderbergh could be like, okay yeah we def had a hand in making it so that critics could & would accept gucci mane - but if he sells 250,000 copies of an album in his first week that's all going to be because of tons of other things

yeah i mean -- real popularity comes from radio & clubs & mixtapes & people's genuine reactions to the music, the media can wag the dog a little more w/ rap than it could in the 90s but it's still ultimately secondary. critics/blogs/magazines can steer the ship a little bit and have an effect on where it goes but it doesn't exist without all that other stuff creating the audience for that artist.

you would know more than me but i dont think that's completely true - surely a large portion of his fanbase doesnt get its shit from a rap blog but you gotta think that the few that do spread his shit either thru word of mouth or going and calling his shit in to radio...it's not a direct effect but could there be a non-negligible ripple effect early adopters on computers start?

dude, blogs were total late adopters to gucci. he was huge 'irl' before we even wrote about him

we were early adopters in terms of media coverage, & w/ certain socioeconomic pplz, but thats it

yeah if you look on last.fm, his most listened to tracks in the past 6 months is shit from his first album & earlier mixtape stuff

yeah i feel you, i do not live in an urban area and have no hip-hop radio station, and given that he's yet to make a dent on the mainstream chart he flew under my radar until i read about him on the internet

rap radio here was super late to playing him, "freaky gurl" was still probably the only song people played barely at all right up until "wasted"/"break up"/"obsessed" hit

I haven't heard Gucci at all on the rap station here.

hes huge here ... lots of mixtape tracks got radio play ... but then he tours here constantly & when he was asked about his favorite places to play outside of the south he said 'the midwest' & named detroit, chicago, cleveland specifically.

'photo shoot' was all over power 92 in chicago 6 months ago

fair enough. being a lol britisher, my view of these things is never going to be an educated one. i always thought up until the past year, with things like the sms thing happening before he come out of prison he was a joke. nothing, even freaky gurl was played on 1xtra, you only knew his name from lol news 'rapper with ridiculous bart simpson chain is in jail' stories.

the Gucci/Sean Garrett/Mario song has grown on me to the point that I think it might be favorite mainstream(ish) Gucci song of the year

I can't really explain it but I think it's incredible...it's addictive

i don't wear tight jeans like the white boys
but i do get wasted like the white boys

i also really like "We Steady Mobbin" because of the "ooohh kemosabee big ballin is my hobbyyyeeee" line

um

is this where No Homo would typically go?

no this is the part where i wonder if you're saying you don't know this song or if you're just excited that someone is quoting it for some bizarre reason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VayanbZHXC0

the slathering of autotune and melody that make it such a weirdly perfect update (the nh thing in case i'm missing some innuendo i don't even really get why it's kemosabee in the first place)

i believe we discussed "big ballin" in a poll didnt we

is it an upside or downside of gucci becoming famous that dweebs like nathan rabin now get to over-react to years-old press photos: http://www.avclub.com/articles/gucci-mane-shows-off-worlds-ugliest-most-illconcei,32854/
