letz talk abt gucci mane

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

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

he already is a star dudes --

this has become one of my top 5 gucci tracks ever btw -- its so genuinely WEIRD

he said that he flew up in ny to record in the studio w her!

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

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

this song is amazing (hottest in the nation)

3 new videos + 2 new leaks incl the full song w/ juvie

happy father's gucci mane day yall

the "she got a friend" video is soo sick!

"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

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

'she got a friend' is old j0rdan s. (in internet time anyway)

i posted the lyrics awhile ago

holy shit @ gucci rapping with juvenile's style!!!

boy oh boy do i look forward to bloggers having this argument 8000 times over the next year

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.

at least, who shouldnt be

sittin at the round table, money tall as a skyscraper
74 o's the color of now and laters
alligator flo's, my house got elevators
haters decapitate em, gucci's the undertaker

haha this is such classic lyricism ... luv it

the "photoshoot" video reminded me of how good that little intro thing is

like tommy lee and pamela im fuckin on the camera
mo stamina than animals, gucci is no amatcha
jahru the damaja could damage you or handle ya
2 girls on my bike, one on the back on the handlebars
ferrari f130 so i call that bitch tarantula
got canada on calanda so shout out to my manaja
i walk through in south africa, i shot them bout 4 acuras
i flip it just like spatula and sell it just like ["GANGSTA GRILLZ" aka you're an asshole dj drama]

my car's getting washed by this ugly ass junky,
i keep laughin like a woman but it ain't shit funny.

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

mo stamina than animals, gucci is no amatcha
jahru the damaja could damage you or handle ya

ugh @ transcribing the pronunciation

can someone explain to me who the fukk this dude is supposed to be parodying:
wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/2009/06/gucci-mane-lyrical-genius-outsider.html

who on earth is slotting gucci into feminist critiques? who is comparing him to ellison? who the fuck is evening listening to a gucci song called "booty shorts"?

omg u are sooooooooo mad

im butthurt bcuz i think gucci is the next shakespeare

mo stamina than animals, gucci is no amatcha
jahru the damaja could damage you or handle ya

ugh @ transcribing the pronunciation

give me a break homie

'amatcha' does read kinda annoying

this is my take

this is a good blog post that directly addresses the points that have been made as to why gucci mane is a great rap lyricist

JUNE 26, 2009 11:08 PM

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!!

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

i dunno it seems to be getting a lot of attention on its own.

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

i dunno something abt it really bothers me. maybe its just annoying that its so stupid

its giving me 'stuff white people like' extremely imprecise satire vibes

it's getting attention because people who aren't feeling gucci can rally around this piece of writing that doesn't address the music because it's much easier to do that than to articulate why he's not a good rapper and even easier than to admit that the guy is a good rapper. i would have the same response if people on blogs started rallying around ethan's joke review of 'like father, like son' - this gucci post is as much of a joke

plus dude cmon i was getting bored w/ defending mj from the internet

alright

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read.

^^this is from the guy who wrote the "hysterical satirical piece" on lil wayne/zac efron - i think this basically proves my point as to who this is catering to and why it isn't worthy of a response

real glad i ended up not posting anything abt that aside from in its comments section

"doczeus is sounding pretty 'sensitive' to me."

I'm sorry didn't you pop shots on your blog at Gordon and proceed to promptly delete your post when you realized you looked childish and foolish? Have the courage to, at least, stand by what you believe in. Grow some balls, son.

well not exactly

i already responded to that & basically put forth my philosophy of ignoring morons who still dont get it. they have to 'approve' the comments

should have followed that in the first place but talking w noz abt the philaflava thread where i guess everyone is cosigning this post had my *rolling my damn eyes* again

yes i know this is more than i should have bothered with
