My expectations were a little too high I guess but it's better than the last 10 mixtapes, and it's nice hearing him rap from a new perspective

was there anything of note in those dozen mixtapes of leftovers that 1017 Records released in 2015?

I'd say it's better than most of what he has released since 2010. It's far from perfect, though. It lacks burrrrr and everyone (including the producers) meet in the middle, so it's rarely exciting, just focused. Guwop Home has got to be his best single in a while though. Before he went in, he and Thug mainly co-existed on tracks. Now there's a sort of magic happening, even though it's mainly because thug found his voice while gucci was away.

i'm kinda disappointed for the most part he's not rapping as good as on his features for dreezy and kodak black...
― ANU (sisilafami), Sunday, 24 July 2016 09:02 (eight years ago) link
His rapping is fine imo - it's just in a declarative mode for the most part. My main problem with it is that toomany of the songs are trying to do the same thing sonically. When Thug shows up he pushes everything towards the edges. This album could need a bit more of that.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Sunday, 24 July 2016 10:09 (eight years ago) link
rapping is fine but not up to '09 gucci level.this on the other hand...

Nothing essential, but most of those tapes were way better than you'd expect given the circumstances. Save a total bomb or two most were about on par with Brick Factory. Trap House 5 was good.
― Evan R, Sunday, 24 July 2016 14:38 (eight years ago) link
I was hoping for a return akin to his 2012 Trap Back/Trap God second renaissance, but little here is anywhere near that caliber. There's an emotional immediacy to the album that I like, though. I'm excited to hear him rap more about sobriety and self-actualization and the difficulties of sustaining both.
And he does sound happy on the tracks he wrote after prison, so I see why so many people are connecting with the album. It puts me in a good mood, why hasn't been the case with most of his stuff since 2014.

this is extremely stoned music for a sober person lol
― lag∞n, Sunday, 24 July 2016 16:28 (eight years ago) link
as a very casual fan i find this to be an enjoyable, enaging rap album to listen to. i have not heard his last 12,000 mixtapes.
― Steve Gunn Mann-Dude (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 25 July 2016 15:52 (eight years ago) link
what's the easiest way to find production credits for gucci's old mixtapes?
― Best Beloved Trump-Pence (some dude), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 17:07 (eight years ago) link
smoke some dust and watch the shapes of the beats
― Blowout Coombes (President Keyes), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 17:09 (eight years ago) link
Find a mixtape streaming site that displays the back cover, or do a Google image search for the specific tape and hope an image of the back cover comes up
― Evan R, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 17:26 (eight years ago) link
you can tell if it's a zay beat just by hearing it

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 21:39 (eight years ago) link

*rolls eyes* yes i'm aware of which producers gucci uses a lot and what their drops sound like, very helpful

More specifically a Google image search for Gucci Mane Tape Title tracklist should bring one up, should it exist.

i really like this album! "guwop home" is amazing. obviously the worst songs on it are the kanye and drake features
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 9 August 2016 10:00 (eight years ago) link
I like it too ("Robbed," "Waybach") and I'll indulge its inclination to play it safe.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 9 August 2016 12:01 (eight years ago) link
i wouldn't really call it playing safe (and did gucci ever really come out with a curveball vis-à-vis his own well-defined aesthetic?) - but it's so focused and effective, and i love (as evan pointed out) hearing him rap about specific emotional stuff in his signature way
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 9 August 2016 12:38 (eight years ago) link
its completely playing it safe & doesn't sound substantially different from the last 30 gucci tapes aside from a few references to his changing circumstances. per usual folks are responding to peer interest & hype & not the actual music
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 August 2016 01:32 (eight years ago) link
i like the quality of the mixing and mastering but it cldve been cool if they took some more time writing the songs
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:36 (eight years ago) link
i know thats not the gucci way but hes supposed to be changing his ways and id be curious to hear his take on a minutely crafted album
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:37 (eight years ago) link
some of the songs are good but what if they all were idk just spitballing
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:41 (eight years ago) link
exactly my take also
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:53 (eight years ago) link
like i don't think the process of A&R is necessarily antithetical to what makes Gucci great, it just has been historically bc they didn't really get what he was doing
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:54 (eight years ago) link
Is this not a minutely crafted album?
No snark, just curious.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:56 (eight years ago) link
he recorded it in six days
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 23:59 (eight years ago) link
otm this whole thing is just ok.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 00:02 (eight years ago) link
I'm not defending this album as a masterpiece, but the mix and arrangements sound polished to my ears idk
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 17 August 2016 00:03 (eight years ago) link
sounds better than your run of the mill mixtape thats true
― Spottie, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 00:05 (eight years ago) link
it is well engineered but i think we're looking from more of a songcraft perspective
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 17 August 2016 00:14 (eight years ago) link
ya the engineering is great but itd be cool if the songs were a lil more rigorous to match
