Gucci Mane: 2010-now > 2005-2009

[California]

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 feel what you're saying, but honestly we have no way of telling whether the producer on Gucci 2 Times used 70 bpm or 140 bpm. You can create the same beat on both those tempos, it just matters whether you have your snares hitting on the 2 and 4 counts (techno-type song), or on the 3 count (slow, trap song). I make beats, and my gut feeling would be the 140 bpm since trap producers like the throw in those signature stuttering hi hats. It would be alot harder to program those in a 70 bpm track. Kinda getting off topic, but couldn't help replying since I fuc with beats and music on that level.

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".

That's 70 BPM

I just tapped to the snare on this

I got ~35 x (2 snare hits per bar) = 70 BPM

This is 140 BPM



Trap music is slow how do you not know this

In hip hop we count a bar by two snares just like in all popular music

If you want to count it as 140 just because the producer might've made the beat in double time because it's more convenient in Fruity Loops then I guess Gucci's verses are 32 bars instead of 16?

Start reaching for technical BS because you called a slow ass song 140 BPM brehs
