college puns are lol & creative but youre comparing it w/ a real talk verse that bodies the most heart-on-sleeve z-ro verses -- all the trauma beneath the surface of the straightfaced lyrics, the its like a calloused lid on some extremely powerful experiences. its biggie-level autobiography

yeah i'm not talking about strictly about song quality but about memorable songs that feel like hits (beyond like Trey Songz sings on this so radio plays it etc.). although i guess i'm one of the only people here that's always really liked "Makin Love To The Money". and i always do year-end singles lists based on when a song was a hit, doesn't matter if i had an album it was on the previous year, don't know what's corny about that.

its alive is my favorite verse of his this year -- incredible stuff. i also think that drumma boy track that just got a video is pretty epically great

i like makin love to the money now btw
i mean irl -- the song is cool too
y'know i'm not sure if i have heard "It's Alive" -- nobody made The Appeal sound too erm appealing but i guess that is one song people recommend from it
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:04 (thirteen years ago) link
there are some totally dope beats on 'jewelery selection' like "first song back" & "electricity" but the "gross" beat is incredibly generic

stuff on the appeal that's as good as anything gucci has ever done -- "what's it gonna be", "it's alive"

it's 'popism' not insecurity -- i don't put album cuts on singles lists as a protest of indie fuxx who fill their P&J ballots with non-hits, i stick to singles, and a lot of songs don't become hits until the year after they appear on an album.
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:08 (thirteen years ago) link
the second level of stuff is like: "trap talk", "party animal" (pretty dope "wasted" rip off if you ask me), "odog" (at least until wyclef takes over the last three minutes), "dollar sign"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:09 (thirteen years ago) link
my favourite thing about 'gross' is gucci flirting w that lady and making her laugh (i mean, really, really gross) in the intro
― samosa gibreel, Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link
uhhh, lemonade was a single before the end of the year
― deej, Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link
like with "dollar sign" & "weirdo" & "brand new" you keep expecting them to be awesome cuz they're straight mixtape style stuff but they're not really that great unfortunately
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link
odog is dope except for the horrible choruses
party animal suffers by being way inferior to the drumma boy 'party animal'
ok "It's Alive" is pretty cool -- don't know why this couldn't be the single instead of "Gucci Time" if they were rolling with Swizz
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:11 (thirteen years ago) link
listen to "what's it gonna be", they just put out a video

its chart impact was all 2010, i didn't hear it on the radio in non-Gucciland until January
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link
i still dont understand how having heard it on the radio makes it ok to vote for it now but whatever. its the same song then that it was when you first heard it.
just makes it seem like you were sleeping imo
― deej, Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link
well clearly it's just a personal thing where shipley only votes for "singles", pretty self-explanatory
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link
only votes for singles once he knows theyre popular, you mean
like i said -- it had a video & was a single in 09
― deej, Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:16 (thirteen years ago) link
it was also the first leak off the record
Lemonade XD XD XD

in December 2009 when i was doing my year-end lists, "Wasted" was the single I'd been listening to all year and had had in my top 10 for a while, "Lemonade" was my favorite song on an album that had just dropped that month and it wasn't clear whether it was going to be a radio single or just a song that happened to have a video on YouTube and get talked about as an album standout.

imo in 2010 anything that has an official video -- esp one so obvi not-generic like lemonade -- would qualify as a single immediately
― deej, Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:19 (thirteen years ago) link
but lets talk about how awesome the 'it's alive' verse is
"weirdo" off 'appeal' is good actually

liking a song more and considering it more significant once you hear it on the radio every day =/ sleeping on stuff or not having any convictions about your taste until it's popular

yeah i'm not saying it doesn't 'qualify' where like i would've said pshhhh album track you lame to someone who had it on an '09 list, i just personally prioritize things differently.
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:21 (thirteen years ago) link
we're not talking about a sitch like "Throw Some D's" where that song was EVERYWHERE by the end of '06 but for some reason some lames thought of it as an '07 song
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 03:28 (thirteen years ago) link
gross kinda stands apart from the other word songs but i've come to love it. whereas weirdo seems like a really second rate one of those to me.
really at this point i only go out of my way to listen to dollar sign and trap talk from appeal.

yeah 'whats it gonna be' is def my fav on appeal. i massively enjoyed zone 6 + jewellery selection more than most stuff this year so i'm not getting on board with any of this peaking stuff.

he had so much more stuff in in '08 and '09. idk i argued this in my review of the album but i feel like hes been hidden from us
― holy lolson (deej), Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:15 (thirteen years ago) link
hidden in what sense? how much of 2010 has he been a free man compared to '09 and '08 anyway?
― Danble Perritration (some dude), Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:18 (thirteen years ago) link
i want him to do an album that balances the technically denser recent style with the super lyrical '08-09 stuff AND the hilarious fun early gucci.
i'm not saying it will happen or even looks likely but i can hope!

in the sense of releasing tons less material, redundent tracks on mixtapes, less released material, his label forcing sites to take down his back catalog, his not showing up for promotional appearances and concerts
he was missing for months of '09 too but that didnt happen
i dont know if hes hidden like his label is being overprotective of his catalog, or hes just on drugs & unreliable, or what. im just observing that hes released a lot less stuff & it feels less contiguous than the nonstop onslaught of the last couple years.
