Essential Albums
- Since his release from prison in 2016, Gucci Mane has worked tirelessly to reengage the fan base he built via his sizable mixtape catalog. The front end of his career is defined by his conquering of Southern street rap during a time that will likely be considered the genre's golden age. Mr. Davis, Gucci’s third album in 12 months, finds the rapper hitting his stride once again, recording over uniquely bombastic backdrops from longtime collaborators Mike WiLL Made-It and Zaytoven. Featured guests like Rae Sremmurd, Big Sean, and ScHoolboy Q turn in inspired verses, clearly relishing the chance to rap alongside one of their influences.
- Ultimately, what the haters see in The State vs. Radric Davis is exactly what makes Gucci’s second major-label album triumphant. Gucci completely ignores traditional edicts of rhyming and beatmaking and instead adheres only to his own singular tastes. The lead-off track epitomizes Gucci’s talent for building entire songs from a single word, and “Heavy” lives up to its title in every regard: Even Metallica couldn’t match the monstrous force mustered by Shawty Redd’s beat. By pairing minimalist wordplay to tectonic tracks, “Stupid Wild,” “The Movie” and the magnificent “Wasted” achieve similarly potent results. The album’s midsection is weighted with ill-fitting R&B collaborations —“Spotlight” and “Bad Bad Bad” are the best among them — but the finale is worth the wait. In “Kush Is My Cologne,” Gucci assumes his rightful place next to three of rap’s towering individualists, while the introspective “Worst Enemy” wears Gucci’s divisiveness like a badge of honor: “Just diss me til you satisfied / I swear it doesn’t bother me / Sticks and stones will break my bones and bullets won’t reflect off me / But words and insults only show the world how ya’ll respectin’ me.”

About Gucci Mane
Some rappers do it for the culture. Some do it for the clout. Some do it because they need to quote-unquote express themselves. Gucci Mane? “Man, I started rapping for money,” he told Apple Music in 2018. Really? That’s it? “I was selling dope!” But doesn’t money change things? Like, make life more complicated? “Life shouldn’t get tough when you got a bunch of money in the bank,” he said. “Why would it? Life should get easier.” One of the first great rappers of the trap era, Gucci—born Radric Davis in 1980—helped bring the sound of Atlanta street rap into the mainstream, turning out tough, funny records that examined his hustle with equal parts ruthlessness and glee, not to mention showcasing a string of producers that became superstars in their own right: Zaytoven (“Pillz,” “Bricks”), Southside (“Trap House 3”), Mike WiLL Made-It (“1st Day Out Tha Feds”), and so on. The pace of the work—more than 100 releases between 2005 and 2020—not only pointed to his day-in, day-out work ethic, but his intoxicating confidence: He put teardrops under his eye because he wished he could cry. But lose his self-respect? He’d rather die.
