but for real zay's beat on "face card" is o_o
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 2 February 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
the beat is cool but i'm not that impressed by the rapping, it comes off as birdman-like repetition of a few overdone phrases. like i'm not expecting a return to "wonderful"-esque stream of consciousness rap but some personality would be nice

yeah i've gotten a flurry of emails this week asking me to approve comments on "best gucci mane songs of 2008"

wld be nice to have gucci mane mixtape events again in '12

feel like this is kind of a manufactured comeback still. NOT YET CONVINCED
― #YOLO #NAMASTE (D-40), Saturday, 4 February 2012 21:51 (twelve years ago) link
manufactured by who
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 February 2012 21:52 (twelve years ago) link
him & his team. people are responding favorably b/c he's working w/ new producers but i'm waiting to see if the spark that was missing from his perfectly competent record from last year has returned, not if he can sound good over a mike will beat (p much impossible not to)
― #YOLO #NAMASTE (D-40), Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link
i still don't see why that precludes people from talking about how he sounds good over mike will beats
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
personally i think it will just be a perfectly competent record minus that "spark" but i'm cool with that
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
oh me too, im more talking abt the comeback narrative i feel brewing
― #YOLO #NAMASTE (D-40), Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
i guess him staying out of jail for this long is a comeback itself of sorts
there's a lil spark on that first verse. i haven't been crazy about the other trap back songs tho
― Jacques_Lamure, Saturday, 4 February 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
it's weird to realize this is the first time i've seen him in a video since the face tattoo, caught me off guard at first
the feeling around this new stuff is probably less 'comeback' than the dead cat bounce of 'at least V-Nasty isn't on these songs'

what's the new tape called?

Trap Back

good lookin
― diln (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
"Comeback" or no, Trap Back is dope. "Brick Fair" is great. But I thought Gucci put out some very good stuff last year; "Up My Alley" is one of my favourite Gucci songs ever.

yeah up my alley is dope, voted for it in the ILM poll
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
i'd say there's a 2% chance he recorded that in 2011
― J0rdan S., Friday, 10 February 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, still voted for it
― Number None, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
i like trap back quite a bit. he still has a way to go tho, he needs to be consistent again. he set a pretty high bar '07-09

Yeah, I was going to note that—I think you're right. But that's when the track came out (right?), so to me that's when it's eligible.
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
Also, I think a Gucci Mane/Future mixtape could be great.

so there's supposed to be an album before summer?

eh i was underwhelmed
― D-40, Saturday, 11 February 2012 04:28 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i don't remember it being much of anything
that was a pretty rough time for gucci
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 February 2012 04:29 (twelve years ago) link
first track is great on that imo
― pandemic, Saturday, 11 February 2012 11:43 (twelve years ago) link
i am realizing that there were a lot of old gucci mixtapes I never dug into. looks like datpiff doesn't have most of em tho (think j0rd said his managers pulled em down)? filestube here we go then.
tempted to d/l the new one but I'm at the point where I have too much new hip hop to listen to and i just wanna let what I have in front of me marinate first. datpiff ain't goin nowhere
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 11 February 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
well, a bunch of his classic tapes were taken down from datpiff by grayzone inc, which is fucking insane and stupid
