Did he drop something else? I only heard Everybody Looking

It's not Still Brazy but it's fantastic

Come on now

I'd call it "good." Second-tier for Gucci at the very best.

 

Jul 26, 2016

All 3 of them were the s--- at one point in their careers. I never really listened to gucci mane much, he had a few songs that were alright. But jeezys material has better replay value imo. For example, the song "smoke and f---" is pretty old but still, i find myself always coming back to that song because of how boss his flow is and some of his other joints... when he really wants to go in...(like that one)

but i'm more of an east coast/northwest person myself

Is he wrong? I don't understand why OP didn't include Andre 3000 when he's clearly the king of the South

 

Jul 26, 2016

Guys, guys, guys. Andre is one of the best rappers--maybe the best rapper--to ever come from a southern state. Sure. But "king of _____" is generally considered to be a present-tense thing.

 

Jul 26, 2016

This decade alone? Andre releases a guest verse once every blue moon and those verses would - 9 out of 10 times - renegade the whole album: Benz Friendz, Sixteen, Pink Matter, The Real Her and Carter 4 Interlude.

Gucci hasn't released anything noteworthy. He's probably released 500 projects this year, and yet no one talks about a single one of them. TI had a few hits, and I loved Jeezy's Seen It All album, but like I said, none of these three hold a candle next to Andre to this very day.

 

Jul 26, 2016

it is? dont know about that. To me it just signifies the best of something - but it depends on context i guess.

 

Jul 26, 2016

It's my first full Gucci project and I'm really liking it. I did listen to a little bit of The State vs and was very impressed from the very beginning of that album, and Jesus Christ that Lil Wayne verse

 

Jul 26, 2016

out of the 3 i think Gucci has made the best music. never been big on Jeezy, but its hard to deny the first few albums he dropped. TI has never been someone I would pick to listen to.

 

Jul 26, 2016

Historically, I'd say so--king of New York was Kurtis Blow, then LL, then Kane, then............

The verses Andre adds to songs now are almost always phenomenal. And while hip-hop isn't given its just recognition as a singles genre, it's not...a guest features genre. Like, Andre is great on "Benz Friendz," but his first on "Benz Friendz" doesn't vault him over Future, and I don't see how you could argue that it does.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

He's had one

It entered the charts at #2

T.I. had five consecutive platinum albums and pioneered a genre

 

Jul 26, 2016

It's not a guest features genre, you're right, but it does play a major role. Case in point: the song Renegade coined a staple term in hip hop. Andre renegades albums.

I've got spare time rn. Change my mind. Recommend me stuff

s--- I meant to say this decade not this year. My bad.

Platinum doesn't mean it's a good album. Eminem has 7 consecutive platinum albums including 2 consecutive diamonds, and has pioneered a genre (where did the term Renegade and Stan come from?) but yet a number of people still think Eminem sucks. Tha Carter 4 went double platinum and Wayne has pioneered a genre but that doesn't make C4 a good album.

 

Jul 26, 2016

@Yeezus you're a f---ing idiot

 

Jul 26, 2016

In terms of career?

TIP > Future >>>> Jeezy - Guwop

smh at you people not including Future

 

Jul 26, 2016

What I'm saying is that a verse every 18 months doesn't make you the king of a region, especially when your very city is also home to the hottest rapper in the world over the past 18 months.

Writing on the Wall, Chicken Talk, State vs. Radric Davis, Trap God, Burrrprint 2. To say he "hasn't released anything noteworthy" is just an abysmal reading of the last decade in hip-hop. It's not true and it ignores both a phenomenal catalog and his massive influence.

Uh, also not correct.

Of course it doesn't. But you said T.I. had "a couple hits," which grossly underestimates his power.

(For the record, Eminem did not "pioneer a genre.")

 

Jul 26, 2016

Future is not a contemporary of these guys. And I will bet my house you've never listened to a Gucci tape straight through.

 

Jul 26, 2016

Future represents a different sound and pretty much a different generation

 

Jul 26, 2016

I thought Guwop would win this easily

 

Jul 26, 2016

in my opinion future isnt even in the conversation of Atlanta kings.. certainly not compared to these 3

 

Jul 26, 2016

Since 2012, and specifically since partway through 2014, I would. And I'd also say he already has a better catalog than Jeezy.
