i think gucci is writing their verses
― i got nothin (deej), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 23:58 (fourteen years ago) link
really? i'd be surprised, and anyways i meant more just his nasty ass voice
i love gucci's verses on "spotlight", but that hook's uh, unfortunate.
― samosa gibreel, Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link
its awful. its so clear whoever conceived that song doesnt get his music at all
― i got nothin (deej), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link
it's really a shame - where is the polow of "throw some d's" & "pimpin all over the world" & "get buck"
it's like the record label wanted a ciara record and not a record that could appeal to his rap fanbase & a crossover audience
― u madoff (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean look at the comments section of the youtube -- its this totally confused cross section of ppl who only like parts of the song not enjoyed by the others
― i got nothin (deej), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
although i think it's pretty clear that gucci has a hard time writing really dope verses on crossover r&b singles. he definitely dumbs himself down, and i think it's a mixture of him not being as creative a lothario as lil wayne & ludacris, and him having in his head an idea of what a crossover verse should be, and it doesn't seem to involve all the things that make him a great rapper
― u madoff (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
like, wayne & luda improved, and arguably in some sense, made their reps with having unusually awesome verses on would-be boring girl songs. gucci's rep is taking a hit especially because lots of people have first been confronted with him via "break up" & "lol :-)" & now "spotlight"
― u madoff (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:11 (fourteen years ago) link
in some ways i want the song to flop so they release something that's not so head-smackingly obvious & bad, but if it is a huge hit for him then i guess i'll feel okay about it
― u madoff (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 October 2009 00:13 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i mean...i know some of you guys like "lollipop" but it never ceases to amaze me how some rappers can build a following releasing hundreds and hundreds of songs just kinda being themselves and doing what comes naturally, and then when it comes time to make a single end up with some bizarre miscalculation of what their appeal is or what their career needs.
― some dude, Thursday, 22 October 2009 02:53 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah but lollipop wasn't a miscalculation of anything. it was a perfect calculation.
i def. agree that gucci is dumbing himself down on the big rnb verses but 'girls are like buses, miss one next 15 one comin, which is definitely his most popular line with mainstream listeners (which some random entourage member cites as such on one of the recent mixtapes), is pretty weird and essential gucci, when it comes down to it. so i think there's hope.
― Jacques_Lamure, Thursday, 22 October 2009 03:58 (fourteen years ago) link
he just riffs on hyper-specific themes & sometimes he repeats some things to sort of stay grounded,
i know this is prob a trite analogy but this is the type of stuff that brings me back to gucci...he comes from a jazz impulse rather a blues or gospel one...he has his musical parameters, his favorite lyrical themes, and just goes in on them, improvising slightly with each new verse but always retuning to some grounded base that changes slightly with each new song. it's nothing new being repetitive, when a musician is in that zone and they're a virtuoso no one should top them.

not to make any judgment on which one is better, but so far i'm liking brrrussia over burrprint. for all the latter's lyrical charms i think i just prefer gucci in party mode. beats and hooks on brrrussia are just unbelievably fun
i don't think ya feel me like i'm feelin myselfyou suckas hate on gucci man that's bad for ya healthgenerate cars clothes women and wealthso you hate on a kid just like you hate on yourself

they should've released "throw money" w/ sean garrett off of 'guccimerica' as the lead single if they were gonna go for a crossover r&b joint. much more aligned with the style that cultivated his fanbase & it doesn't suck

― i got nothin (deej), Friday, 23 October 2009 19:10 (fourteen years ago) link
beat is super great -- actually i think if you wanted the ultimate gucci track you'd combine the music/hooks from that one, the structure/thematic consistency of 'follow me' & the lyrical fun of 'diamonds' right before it ... those three songs kinda capture the best of 3 sides of his appeal
