“The State Vs. Radric Davis…”
GENERAL By Gotty™ on October 29, 2009 at 10:39 am
One of you master-Googlers find out who’s got the top five sales slot in rap for 2009. Whoever holds slot #5, get ready to scratch that album out and add The State Vs. Radric Davis. Yep, I’m taking bets that this album does numbers after it releases on December 8th. Not that it requires clairvoyance to make the predict, but I think people are still continuing to underestimate how powerful Gucci’s influence and fanbase are.
So somebody find that info and place your bets. I prefer Paypal payments.

You can not stop Gucci; you can only hope to arraign him. I don’t get it, and I will never will. But you have to congratulate him on his success.

Word lol.
That cover pic is more seriious then anything Gucci has done prior.
Dude is trying to win with this one.
This album will sell to a lot of people just from the promotion done on the BET “Gucci” Awards Show earlier this week.
One can only hope so.
Speaking of the BET awards, it’s amazing how much better Snoop & Dre were live, compared to anyone else that performed.
Shit, I meant Snoop and Jay.
Freudian Slip.
As for that whole Top 5 dilemma, we can safely assume Eminem and Jay-Z will assume the 1 & 2 slots, right now its
1. Eminem 1.4 mil
2. Jay-Z 1.1 mil
Other than that, who else? Jada & Bawse both did around 400K, Cudi & Loso both are gonna do around 250K, someone else help me out here
I don’t get it either. What’s the appeal of dude? I understand it’s not all about lyrics; but what’s his damn appeal!! I want to get it, because this muthafucka has a ton of hype. Can any one list 3 songs that put you on to gucci??
yea i think gucci is gon easily go gold an maybe even do 800′000 but it will really catch me off guard if he pushes out platinum in a year
he would do 2-300k easy. Christmas time = a few extra sales = 350-400k, maybe gold.
This dude’s music on his album better match the high momentum it’s gonna get. Cause his last album was ()()-those are butt cheeks.
For me, the appeal is somewhat lyrical. He comes up with some really clever lines. Here are three of my favorite songs from him:
Gorgeous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiBItHjCTBk
Weird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6UPXvjqTbw
Shittin Onum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV39Yf_VEqg
Plus the dude knows how to pick beats.
I was actually sort of creating a conspiracy about this last night in my own mind. What if Gucci is just inundating us with mixtape material so he can make his album real serious? As in, he’s keeping our expectations semi-low with the mixtapes, same ol’ Gucci, but maybe the album will be something serious. I am kind of creating this theory solely off his album cover haha.
On December 8th
Game>Gucci in sales.
Did you just insult his mixtapes? Gucci has had a couple this year that would be in the top 10.
Alright, I’m going to confront this issue of Gucci’s lyricism. I’ve been meaning to for a while, and I should probably just sit down and write a long-ass essay for my blog. But for now, here’s the shortened version.
There seems to be this notion that Gucci’s huge appeal can’t be about his lyricism, when for most people I’ve talked to that’s exactly what it is. Granted, he’s not the kind of artist that you’ll sit down and tell your son about how he changed the way you thought about things for a while. Gucci doesn’t say anything profound about the human condition. He talks strictly about what’s in his world: diamonds, cars, women, drugs. Now there seems to be an idea that you can’t devote your content to hedonism and be lyrical at the same time. This is simply not the case. Here’s an example from his song “Wonderful”:
RED BEZZLE ON MY JACOB, LOOKIN LIKE A SLICED TOMATO
FUCK A HATER, I BLOW ACRES OF JAMAICA IN DECATUR…
HALF YO BUGDET SPENT ON LUGGAGE, SPENT YO MORTGAGE ON A PORSCHE AND..
PURPLE BUD LOOK LIKE AN ORCHID, CANT AFFORD IT, WATCH ME TORCH IT
Gucci brings a level of abstract imagery to rap that we haven’t seen since Supreme Clientele dropped. It’s a different kind of abstraction, but extremely creative nonetheless. You won’t find another rapper saying something like this, from “Weird”:
my car got personality, the grill be smiling, honey
my rims are very charming and my leather seats are comfy
gucci major money shawty I get crazy cloudy
have a baby by me probly maybe i’ll buy you an Audi
^
shiiiiittttttt
Lol, say what you want. August just went in (||).
AUGUST!!! YES!
@ August: haha, I was just going solely off his mixtape covers compared to his album cover. But also, I get the vibe his mixtape material is more fun and “playful” (none), and something with the title “The State Vs. Radric Davis” is going to be much more serious than something titled “Great Brrrtain”.
YEAR OF THE GODLEN BURR
gucci ft usher
maybe the mainstream song achievement
video coming soon, let we this this novemBURR for dat
