What an intelligent breakdown of Gucci's latest album, such worthwile and well-based comments. It's really too bad that all rap doesn't cater exactly and exclusively to what you want to hear, because everyone shares the same taste. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. it is true everyone has different taste, but theres a level that you cross from having "your own ears" in music, and just having crap taste. gucci mane is one of thoe artists that belong in the latter category, maybe people like lil wayne or tpain are individual taste - they have some decent stuff, gucci mane however is straight whack. just like soulja boy
Why is Gucci just "straight whack?" You talk about how bad he is, but you haven't really done anything to prove your case except compare him to Soulja Boy. Gucci just makes entertaining music, he has a good ear for beats, brings in some good ad-libs, and isn't even that bad lyrically. He can be lazy but makes music that's just fun to listen to. He's not trying to drop monumental verses, he doesn't have a classic (or even a near-classic) in him, but he's definitely not someone who's ruining hip hop. Gucci's doing his own thing, he has a distinct presence and no one sounds like him. He's not one of those clone rappers that sounds like everyone else, those are what's ruining rap.
You call it entertaining music, I call it crap. Good ear for beats? Even the beats, which are produced by people like Supasonics, Gucci Mane still manages to mess up with his crap rapping.
No one sounds like him? On the contrary, he sounds like your normal low-skill rapper that appeals to people with very low intelligence and bad taste in music.
When you hear the word rap you think of Big Punisher, Nas, Rakim, Big L, you don't think of Gucci Mane.
Have you even listened to Gucci Mane, or are you just reiterating what you saw on the internet? You haven't mentioned one thing that you don't like about Gucci Mane yet (but still you reference his "crap rapping" and "low-skill"), I would have to imagine that someone that is responsible for ruining hip hop would have some outstanding vices. He can rhyme (and does deliver really solid verses most of the time, even great ones like the one in the first post), his voice isn't annoying really, he can get lazy but a lot of rappers can (Raekwon, for instance). I suggest you listen to the album before hating just for the sake of hating.Pun, Rakim, L and Nas were all great once, problem is they're either not releasing music anymore or they are and it's really bad. Gucci isn't one of the greatest to ever do it, but he really isn't that bad at all.
On the point of Gucci Mane's fans having bad taste, sometimes that's true but I know a lot of people that can appreciate Gucci, as well as MF DOOM, Run-DMC and Eric B. & Rakim. I like Gucci, but also like Madvillain, Wu-Tang, UGK, Ice Cube, etc. I don't just dismiss something because elitists say it's no good. It's also a tad ironic how the poster who can't correctly spell a word as simple as "villain" in his sig is calling Gucci followers unintelligent. It's not like you have to be intelligent to like Big L; it doesn't take much to understand constant punchlines about murder, sex and ghetto life.
I don't even like Gucci that much, just to see someone that clearly doesn't know what they're talking about make him out to be so detrimental to the state of hip hop is frustrating. Gucci isn't ruining hip hop.
