Review: Gucci Mane is hugely popular because of his relaxed way of rapping. The first track 'Fuck 12' is a really good intro for the mixtape and lets the listener know what to expect for the rest of the tracks. He flows well on the dark piano. He references how he was in jail in this song. He mainly talks about how the police are untrustable but God isn't. In the song 'Aggressive' the hook is too repetitive but his flow on this track is amazing. The production is too soft and doesn't fit the tone of the song. In this track he talks about how fame effects his life. 'The Left' sounds lazy and unorganised. It's production fits the tone but it's still too simple. The fist verse of 'Money Machine' is lazy and repetitive. The hook of this song is specifically awful. Rick Ross' verse is okay, but it lacks effort.
'Dirty Lil Nigga' is a song about himself spoken in third person. He talks about how he breaks into houses and other dangerous things. 'Wop' has some hilarious lines and great production with a dark cold piano melody. In 'Right On Time' Gucci says the word time, exactly fifty times. The production from Zaytoven saves this track from being terrible. 'Bling Blaww Burr' with Young Dolph has interesting and weird production and some funny lines. From what I know the hook is supposed to denote someone feeling 'cold' reacting to Gucci Mane. 'Icy Lil Bitch' is about a girl who he met. He describes her as cold hearted or 'icy'. The song has some funny lines where he compares her to Madonna because she's a material girl. 'Love Her Body' is just annoying and repetitive. The auto tune just makes the track more insufferable. It has a good concept but it's poorly executed.
'Hi-Five' is a catchy track with some funny lines. 'Out The Zoo' although having a terrible intro has some great production. The song is about how he got out of prison, in this song he compares prison to a zoo. In 'Addicted', the best song on the mixtape, he talks about his family's addiction to drugs. It's actually surprisingly introspective which I didn't expect from this album. What I love the most about this song is that he never actually says any of the stuff he's addicted to is good. The dark piano really fits his deep lyrics. One promotional single was released for this mixtape which was 'Last Time' with Travis Scott. It's a pretty forgettable song.
This mixtape is a fun listen and you should check it out if your bored. It's on youtube so you can give it a quick listen. There are some tracks I would return to but overall this mixtape is good.
Rating: 7/10
