this is really really good

wow best bangladesh beat in forever imo

or really best since 8Ball & MJG's "Forever" i should say

how is there no tracklist for this album yet btw, seems so unusual

are you sure the one Jacques_Lamure posted last week is wrong? it had "Lemonade" and "Worst Enemy" on it before either leaked. i do get the feeling this is a Carter III situation where he's probably recording possible songs for it every day until they send it to the pressing plant, though.

yeah who knows - i'm hoping that that one isn't right cuz it's so guest heavy - do not need minaj, ross, cam'ron, bun, e-40, whoo da kid verses

also has a really soft & bad looking middle section - what the fuck is a jason ceaser?

i thought it was a foregone conclusion that the album would lean hard on guests and R&B shit, especially after "Spotlight"

it basically looks like tha carter III formula except that gucci is working largely with his normal producers

or rather he's branching out with big southern rap producers as opposed to big pop producers like siwzz & kanye

and also he won't be singing, and there won't be any stuffy kingmaking jay-z collaborations

true

probably done w/ the 11th hour joints now that he's in jail :(

already 20x the album carter iii is then

"lemonade" is a total jam

is your ave. ilxor still hating on him?

I've been somewhat wary of gucci but this track is dope as fuck

what are u wary of exactly? our enthusiasm? this track is dope but he has lots of music just like this

Naw, not put off by anyone's enthusiasm but the music I was hearing. (Who do you think I am, Shiply?) I mean, I'd heard tracks by him that I thought were good, but nothing that I unreservedly loved. I haven't followed him that closely, though. I had a feeling he'd have tracks that I'd like more than what I've heard, but my ambivalance toward his basic M.O. made my couple attempts at seperating the wheat from the chaff seem not worth it. I mean, if you can reccomend more Gucci tracks that sound like this, I'd be appreciative.

well, there's nothing that sounds precisely like this one, but there are a solid # of songs in his catalog that are similarly sui generis ... but lyrically familiar.

i mean i would still recommend just checking the burrrprint 3d if you havent heard it yet

yeah, I d/led that but never got around to listening

Naw, not put off by anyone's enthusiasm but the music I was hearing. (Who do you think I am, Shiply?)

ftr, gucci fane zealotry put me off of reading writing about gucci, not listening to his music

yeah, same here

these are some songs that grabbed me as a casual fan fwiw: Perfect Diamonds, Follow Me, Overboard, Walkin' On Ice, No No No, Ha Ha Ha, Dope Boys

other than br4nd0n s0d3rb3rg, what writing are you talking about? j0rdan & i have pretty much just posted lyrics since we first did our piece & noz barely editorializes at all

rob harvilla's voice column was pretty jaded faux-enthusiasm & most everything else on him has been absurd REAL RAP articles like this: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/kyles-files/2009/11/rap-fans-must-choose-the-gucci-mane-cometh.html or nathan rabin making fun of his chain.

i so rarely see ppl "overdoing it" on his rapping -- if anything, fans are way more likely to be like "its just dumb fun shit for riding to"/"its just real street shit" generic gangster rap defense which actually tends to shortchange the music.

if you really want to reduce your last 9 months of writing about gucci mane to transcribing lyrics and freaking out on message boards, be my guest

so what did i say that you think is so out there?

well i mean you're right s0d3rb3rg is more TLDR than anyone else but still you wanting to excuse yourself from the whole thing is ridic

excuse myself from what? i have been otm in this thread

& yes that was a l0u1s jagg3r callback

anyway the words rev and i used were "enthusiasm" and "zealotry," which aren't really specific to what you or anyone else has written professionally

which is simply to say i tend to listen to his stuff and go "that was a hot line" and not "OMG HOLY SHIT GUCCI IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL, KING OF THE SOUTH, FUK U IF U DISAGREE"

if the conclusion we've reached is "enthusiasm made al not want to listen to something" then i think i understand

aside from the all caps thing, dont u agree hes on another level & certainly in the argument about king of the south? or would have been before getting his ass arrested again
