Just scrapped a long-winded entry on why I feel fine about rap’s current state. I’ll keep it short: You should already be aware of Waka Flocka Flame, but if you’re not, don’t sleep.

Until you find your Rolex in the sand
You won’t be stopping
Until that solid gold is in your hand
You won’t be happy

Gucci Mane recording sessions are models of simplicity. “We make everything from scratch,” he said of working with his favored producers. What comes out is as “surprising to me as much as to them.” Everyone mentions the ease of his songwriting, lyrics spilling out of him at a seemingly unmatchable clip.

“We’ll battle to see who’s going to finish first,” Fatboi said. “Sometimes he’ll have three verses and the hook done before I get done with the beat.”

In fact, “D.O.A. Kellz” > anything on Untitled.

Just saying

The Gucci leaks got me feeling myself. They keep getting better. I’m feeling hyped. I’m surprised, especially after “Spotlight.” I don’t care now. “Lemonade” is perfect. “Heavy” goes hard. And now we get that Weezy/KFC track WITH THE BANGLADESH BEAT? I’m going to buy this CD when it drops. That still says something.

Burrrr

It would be like a Viking on fire as he drifts out to sea for the last time. And if that metaphor doesn’t stick with you, then you never understood the man or his Sixers.
