#Gucci mane albums 2013 free#
The next day, Gucci released his latest album Diary of a Trap God for free and deleted his Twitter, and the weekend ended with his arrest in Atlanta for carrying a concealed weapon and weed possession, TMZ claiming that he’d been taken to hospital as a precaution. “The streets don't kill him, then the law gon' get him/Better listen to me kid, it's a fucked-up system/Y'all might don't feel him but I damn sure feel him/Cause I was just in a jail cell fucked up with him.” It’s the same avenue that Boosie has always taken-somber but not preachy or self-righteous, and it suits Gucci Mane well as a rapper who’s always been good at reaching out to young artists and understanding youth culture.Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane has reactivated his Twitter account to open up about his drug problems and the now-infamous posts that he made earlier this month.Ī period spent arguing with former friends Waka Flocka Flame and Frenchie reached a climax on September 9, when Gucci made public claims about everyone from Nicki Minaj (he claimed that him and Waka Flocka Flame had a threesome with her – claims that both Flocka and Minaj denied), to Tyga’s partner Blac Chyna (likewise), to Big Cat Records’ Jacob York (Gucci claimed he was a pedophile). On the album’s best track “Dirty Lil N***a”, Gucci takes a moment to relate to the fictionalized street kid he’s spent the song rapping about. Woptober goes back to the dirtier, oddball style that Gucci became successful with but this time, it’s more disciplined and perceptive. Everybody Looking, while a good record, was more celebratory, a big “welcome back” party for Gucci. Woptober gets off to a great start with “Intro: Fuck 12”: the Phantom Of The Opera piano keys giving the song a ghostly, demented air while Gucci comes in strong, focused and charismatic: “I ain't never been embarrassed, I ain't never felt fear/I got post-traumatic stresses like I can't shed tears,” The album proceeds with this laser focus and thoughtfulness throughout. On Woptober, Gucci can be fun and playful, grimy or poignant and thoughtful and sometimes he’s all of these things at once. Despite the newfound clearness of his voice, likely a result of those shed pounds, it still has that guttural allure. Songs like “Wop” and “Hi-Five” highlight this with an icy, brooding sound and Gucci feels perfectly at home there.
Woptober is more attuned to the classic Gucci Mane aesthetic than Everybody Looking The production is colder, murkier and with heavier bass, with Gucci slinking and swimming through it with precision and clearheaded insight.
Since being freed, he’s taking over the reins and is making up for lost time with the release of Woptober, three months after his first post-prison album Everybody Looking. During that time in prison, the one thing that kept Gucci’s name relevant in music-beyond the success of the younger artists he had supported, like Young Thug and Migos-was the steady stream of mixtapes that were able to come out using his unreleased music.
