Gucci Mane: 2010-now > 2005-2009

[California]

Going against the grain on this one...anybody else think Guwop has greatly improved from his pre-2010 days? Most Gucci fans name songs from 2005-2009 as his best work, but I disagree.

One major difference is his beat selection. Pre-2010 most of Gucci's songs were on quirky, bouncy beats around 150-160 bpm, much faster than his current songs, which are usually around 130-140 bpm. This means a slower, smoother flow, which is much more listenable. Guwop over modern southern production is . He definitely did have many classics pre-2010, but I'm not gon sit here and lie, a lot of those beats during that time were trash.

current garbage > 2005-2009 garbage?

You know what, I was in that other thread on this...

And got to agree, he's a workaholic who has improved in certain areas if anything.

Wow no

Not sure your BPMs are right

130-140 is still fast as fukk

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

130-140 is not fast as fuc. I linked "Gucci 2 Times" below, it has a bpm of 140. Take a listen and tell me if this is "fast as fukk". 99% of any trap beat from 2010-now does not have a bpm over 150. Trust me bra I know this sh1t. Also linked a screenshot of a couple Gucci songs and their bpm's on the far right. Listen to any of those and tell me if its "fast as fukk".

I fukk with all the guwop. But 07-09 greatest run in the streets ever

 

[ISO]

I agree

Gucci has his classics every year.Tbh my favourites are mostly slow slappers (Zaytoven ).Another thing is that the 2005-2007 stuff he released is mastered and mixed terrible , and fukking DJs are screaming all over the song.If he re-released this material now NODJ and mastered by today standards, shyt would be

Ehhh... @Tall Israeli isn't exactly wrong because that Gucci 2 Times is actually a 70 BPM song. A number of Gucci songs which will be read by a computer as having really fast BPMs are slow tempo wise.

A song in the 130-140 can be fast as fukk because not every song you just half, I don't know how to put it into words but any DJ will co sign. This song is 140 BPM and it is much more up tempo than Gucci 2 Times

i would say from 2012-up to now

his music has gotten more darker

Slim Dunkin's death played a major part in this

the whole trapgod series was about murder, murder, and mo murder

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

He's a harder working rapper than Tupac, no troll.

 

[The Jewnited States]
