I SURVIVED A GUCCI MANE MIXTAPE!!!

Okay everyone, like the title says, "I survived." I never listen to Gucci! Personally, I think he is one of the worst rappers to ever gain popularity. He's just the poster child for what hip hop has become; COMMERCIAL. Yes, commercial. Artist coming out with the, 'I'm just like you' aspect has gone away and real artists are overshadowed by lames like this.

BUT, in fairness, I chose to give him a chance. I had only heard his songs on the radio up until this point and the radio is just garbage right now.

As requested, I downloaded the mixtape titled, Demolition. I must admit I had a bias to just not pay attention while he spoke, but I listened to his lyrics. This is how I see it:

1. I'm sick of the BURRS!!!! Seriously, SICK! Using a made up word to make your song longer shows no lyrical talent.

2. Bad lyrical content period. There is no serious content to take to heart. All there is is icing things. Icing things? Really? You can't rap about anything else?

3. This music doesn't relate to me. I'm a true student of music. I look up lyrics all the time to get a full grasp of the message an artist is saying. On the first 2 tracks (Bill and Constipated), he is just talking about ICE. I know it's winter, but damn! Come on! Ice is not going to get me to heaven.

4. This one pisses me off too. In 'Cuffin', he says, "I don't want to marry her....like O.J. Simpson, I just want to stab her"......LAME!!! Seriously, creatively disrespecting women is accepted in our society, but this isn't even CREATIVE!

5. Freestyles? The freestyles are super short and are weak. He just says things I've heard before!.....She think I'm handsome? This the matrix? I'm in the back, finna smoke somethin? HEARD THEM ALL!!!

6. Time? Why is only 4 songs over 2 minutes? Um, perhaps he ran out of words? Found out how wack he was and quit? Hmmm...I wonder

7. THE INSTRUMENTALS! There are a couple instrumentals that are good like on, Constipated, Diamond, Kiesha, Soldier, and Trouble....but the rest are extremely repetitive. Repetitiveness takes away from the excitement of waiting for the next track. If the next song sounds the same, there is a decreasing of interest.

AND FINALLY!
8. HIS VOICE!! Seriously, he just sounds slow. I don't get the appeal of some people. It sounds like he raps lazy and doesn't care. No substance + bad voice = FAIL!

What do you think?.......COMMENT!!!
