I put it on the pot and I cut on the water/ I whipped that shit around and bought me a Charger/ A Waffle House chef, man, I got eight orders/I got no passport, I see no borders - Gucci Mane, “Work Ya Wrist” Along with Lil Wayne, Gucci was elevating the free-mixtape art form in hip-hop to something as important or, in the right parts of the country, more important than a big album drop. It has several of Gucci’s greatest standalone tracks, tracks that could have been hits on a studio album (“Photoshoot,” “Add it Up,” “Feeling Myself,” “Bachelor Pad”). This was probably the most musically diverse offering of the bunch, even if tapes like The Burrprint 3-D - often considered the favorite - had even superior one-liners. It’s kind of hard to pick a favorite from the vast collection of music that Gucci Mane released from 2008 to 2010 thus, why several of these mixtapes are on this list. I walk through in South Africa/I jumped in my foreign Acura/I flip it just like spatula/So suck me just like Dracula - Gucci Mane, “Photoshoot” Will he be able to deliver on the promise of his first new song, and a prolific, illustrious, and highly influential career? The following five classic Gucci Mane releases stand as the standard against which subsequent work should be judged. Guwop’s first post-prison release - the Mike Will Made It-produced Soundcloud loosie “First Day Out Tha Feds” (a callback to his beloved 2009 mixtape track “ First Day Out”) - racked up over 1.8 million listens in the first 48 hours it was posted. With his re-emergence and return to making actually new music, young rap fans will be introduced to the Atlanta rapper for the first time, and old fans will be paying attention again. Gucci Mane never stopped releasing music when he was in jail - turning out nearly 10 mixtapes a year with the help of his engineer - and before his release last week, he had been in for almost three years.
