not sure how long it will be (if ever) that gucci himself decides to alter his image (mixtape wayne to carter 3?)
― ianmaxwell, Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:30 (fourteen years ago) link
ha that sounds so awesome
supposedly his album got pushed up (!) to sept - so i guess it shouldn't be too far off. but i dont think he'll alter his image any and i think in general that wayne is a bad comparison for gucci - i think what wayne did with his career was a one in a million type thing - i would look for gucci's career as a commercial artist to follow that of jeezy's instead of wayne's - he'll have a "go crazy" (if not a "soul survivor") instead of a "lollipop" i think
― swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:36 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, wayne's rise is one serious headfuck. but i think gucci could be marketed as way more of a popstar if he chose to, he can write amazing choruses and is prefectly capable of enunciating clear enough for the radio, plus he can pick a beat. just some bigtime producer and a few more well placed guest appearances and maybe he'll blow.
― ianmaxwell, Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:44 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah he does write amazing choruses, that is true
― swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:46 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm just saying he prolly could become a star, it's really up to him
― ianmaxwell, Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:46 (fourteen years ago) link
im sure he wants to become a star + i think he's a much more thoughtful/reasoned/cerebral guy than people give him credit for
― swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i figure he has lotsa fun being who he is and even if he does put alot of interview stock into being about his grind and getting that money he still is in love with rapping and is entirely comfortable with the trajectory his career has taken and is taking
― ianmaxwell, Sunday, 21 June 2009 00:52 (fourteen years ago) link
he already is a star dudes --

the most fucked up use of auto-tune ever, just applied it over normal rapping. it's gud, but i'm so glad he didn't adopt it as a regular tool.

it's almost like a mockery

are you really anticipating the gucci major label release? i mean this like, expecting it to be something more than Back to the Traphouse...cuz we're talking about either Carter III level hype or just another trap rap album. which is it gonna be
― jazzy fey (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Sunday, 21 June 2009 08:42 (fourteen years ago) link
back to the traphouse was three years ago and he's an infinitely better rapper, so yes, i'm anticipating the gucci mane major label release

"baby tell your man ill blam him with the damn hamma/ fly as soulja boy, gucci bandana santana" <-- this is a dope line from juelz

big boi's verse kinda never gets off the ground but it's pretty cool nonetheless - def the worst of the three tho
― swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link
i love the "we goin ham when cd drop" slowed down though
also when juelz goes "I jsut like em nasty" he sticks he pinky finger up his nose. classic

yah i mean its obviously true, but just making that point right now is pretty boring -- i was saying this to j0rdan earlier but i think continuing to treat the discourse around dude like these clueless internet okayplayer fruitflies are a significant % of rap fans or that these particular rap fans should even MATTER when talking about his music any more is really probably best avoided. consider the frame here ... every time u are like "CANT BELIEVE FOLKS SLEEP ON GUCCI, ACTUALLY (c. max) HES A GENIUS" its just giving these dudes more power than they really should have ... no one is really sleeping on gucci at this pt.

that's like my most favourite image in a gucci track ever, it's so complete despite being just a couple of lines long.

yeah well he doesn't say "amateur" because it doesn't rhyme with "stamina"

u should notice that he didnt even link to a post of mine -- im defending u here!!
― zzz (deej), Monday, 29 June 2009 10:24 (fourteen years ago) link
what is there even to say about the post though? the guy is just taking criticisms of gangster rap that have been around since i was like 2 years old and projecting them onto gucci with the example being some track that i've never even heard of. there's no point to even respond to

and if someone is gonna imply that im a racist for saying that gucci is a good lyricist with an unusual vocabulary or whatever it is then im just gonna go "lol internet" because what else is there to say
