I am a huge Gucci Mane fan. In fact, that’s an understatement — I’ve been supporting bro for a minute now. I recall the whole Gucci/Jeezy beef at its most palpable. I also recall many not siding with Gucci — even stooping as low as calling him a Jeezy wannabe. Yikes! It was a weird time but now it’s clear that Gucci is the true Trap God of Atlanta and he has put his city on his back for almost two decades. Not to mention the unbelievable impact his taste has had on hip-hop culture — he’s the ultimate cosigner. But one thing I dislike is when Gucci “links up” with a bunch of weed carriers who are merely here to co-opt the legend’s status in the street rap scene. That’s not to say one Playboi Carti and 21 Savage don’t hold their own on this new track, “Peepin’,” it’s just not the lane Gucci should be heading in at the moment. Or maybe ever? The result is always clunky. Gucci? He does his thing and C4 is on the production, so just peep the track for that. After the jump.
