letz talk abt gucci mane

yeah but i mean..he's been doing lots of songs with name producers and especially bangladesh for like a year now. and it seems ridiculous to refer to 2 songs (which you said yourself are GOOD) from such a prolific artist as a possible 'direction he's headed in' unless you're just trying to predict a shark jump before it happens.

i think the swizz track is cool... my only problem with it is that -- kinda like that song he did with wale -- i think he gets swallowed up a bit when he's on a big, brassy beat like that. the bangladesh song is dope.

i disagree with deej esp if we're talking about "the beginning of the end" which is really some bullshit considering how well he's still rapping -- not only does it make sense for him to step out with big name producers, i really do relish it, cuz certainly one of the valid criticisms of 'the state vs radric davis' was "how is this different than his mixtapes?" aside from the (needless) guest spots. i love drumma boy & fatboi as much as the next guy but he's recorded literally hundreds of songs with the three of them (incl zaytoven).

it's not like he's, you know, recording with dr. luke or something. swizz & bangladesh etc are guys that have been able to bridge the gap between street rap and pop rap in very interesting ways & i think that's one of the things we've all loved about gucci for a long time. these are sensical pairings & i think they are/have been fruitful ones, and i look forward to more.

yeah...to me a rapper heading in a possible discouraging direction is like T.I. doing a song like "Whatever You LIke" for the first time and hitting #1 with it, like you know that's gonna influence future decisions. doing one generic Swizz Beatz song that gets floated out on an unofficial mixtape is probably not a harbinger of anything.

also love that "Man Of The Year" sounds nothing like typical Bangladesh aside from having some awesome live bass playing like "Lemonade" (lame hook though).

what was good about him recording w/ storch though was that it felt like those dudes were stepping into his world, not the other way around. 'sounded too much like the mixtapes' was not a criticism when his mixtapes are some of my favorite music of the past couple years. i do think bangladesh is a really good foil for him in terms of balancing this tension tho -- no question 'lemonade' is his biggest hit this year bcuz he & bangladesh have a similar kind of weird relationship w/ 'pop' & pop

& yeah the hook is the only bad part

fwiw im not trying to get ms cleo cool points for this -- i mean we all know like w/ basically all non-scarface artists, dudes will have career arcs & at some point it will be the beginning of the end. maybe im too much like simon reynolds saying timbaland was 'over' in like 1999 or whatever here but i do think its something to keep an eye on

& yeah the hook is the only bad part

of the new one i mean

i think maybe this convo would make more sense if Storch seamlessly blending into Gucci's style didn't make it on the album and Swizz forcing his style on him did instead of vice versa.

im talking chronology -- swizz track just dropped, storch track was last year

if this is an indicator of a future direction -- etc

i like that dudes like forks arent feeling 99% of the gucci beats so far -- if hes gonna convert forks-style rap fans i want it to be over some massive 'stay fly'/'what you know about that' undeniably dope ish & not some bland NY horn boom bap

i mean, i know gucci has always spit over a wider variety of beats than hes gotten credit for & in that sense i have no problem w/ a one-off horn sample (just like i dig '30 inches' remix & a couple of the more trad sounding joints on the cold war tapes) im just sayin

yeah who knows...T.I. kinda broke through to a lot of audiences with a Swizz track but then he pretty much went back to his own style and crossed over more with those. (xpost)

would love to hear a gucci equivalent of 'whatever you like' tbh

well he's shooting a video for antisocial

i haven't really kept up w/ gucci's 2010 output at all, especially since nothing i heard about Burrprint 2 made it seem like a must hear, so what are the like the consensus recent tracks that are considered essential?

soldier ft pharrell
dear diary
atlanta zoo ft ludacris
nah nigga ft pharrell
it's alive ft swizz beatz
coca coca (this song is 9 mins long & has verses from tons of ppl, but gucci's verse & the chorus are great)
pretty boy swag remix
sean garrett ft tyga & gucci mane - she geeked

id say the last four you listed are the most must-hear

"soldier" and "atlanta zoo" are my favourite of those - is "coca cola" the same as "mi casa, su casa"? shawty lo's verse on that is the best imo

whole song just sounds "deep" like his voice sounds so incredible in the mix.

why is this here?

i meant to post it in fruity swag

lol didn't u spend several posts shitting on surfboard for pushing this dude?

i was registering my (rightful) suspicion of dipsey lackeys & chastising people for not making an attempt to say anything intelligent or worthwhile about vado aside from the typing out his adlib in lots of letters, and what might mean about his rapping ability

dipset*

such a cool concept for a song
