I was so underwhelmed by Gunplay's album first listen but listening again I think it's pretty solid actually. I have had unreasonably high expectations re: Gunplay ever since "Bogota Rich: The Prequel" when I decided he was the best rapper in the world. I still don't think "Living Legend" is what Gunplay COULD do but the beats generally bang and Gunplay is still a notch above most rappers around IMO when he gets going.

Gunplay's verse on this is what I want from him

Gunplay feat. Triple C's - Fuck Shit In My Life


And of course his "Cartoons and Cereal" verse, and "Jump Out"/"Mask On".

Mollyworld 2 was so solid for me, it made me revisit the whole of his discog. I never got around to The Sepration but there was a bit of buzz around it.

I ended up just listening to the A Side of 3, really enjoyed it when I was drunk. Listened a second time and it's alright, nothing special but enjoyable. I'll give the B Side a try sometime.

Migos album anyone? Really good, and this is coming from someone that never finished a mixtape of theirs because I couldn't get past their shtick.

Dej Loaf's new project is boring apart from the track with Big Sean

I'm really searching for a mixtape that I can bump the shit out of, something that I listen to like every day. Rich Gang Tha Tour was that for me, before that My Krazy Life, Welcome to Fazoland & Acid Rap. Nothing has grabbed me in a long time, everything is just 'ok'. And I'm not convinced YG will pull it off again...

ive had massive hopes for the gunplay album after those first few mixtapes, but knew the album would probably never meet my expectations/dreams/fantasies of what it could be. going to DL it tonight.

If you made a gunplay album from material he's already put out, what would be on it?

Hard to say, but I once dreamed up an ideal Gunplay album production-wise. I wanted 3-4 Luger beats with 3-4 Lil Lody beats in addition, 1 Illangelo (Weeknd producer beat), 1 Mike Will beat, 1 Zaytoven and 1 Pete Rock beat.

All On You

You can sort of imagine Gunplay in the era of Ice Cube's first three solo albums making a militant gangsta rap album equal parts ignorant and intelligent. But he's also got that sense of humour which is probably what makes me think of Redman when I'm listening to him - a larger than life/death persona and voice. There's something about him that feels like a throwback (the use of 90s beats for freestyles in particular) to a different era. I guess his voice is a big part of that. Compare it to Drake, Big Sean, even Kendrick - they've got a lightness and smoothness to their voices, and that fits really snugly into the RNB heavy aesthetic of today's rap music sound. I guess Gunplay was totally at home with Waka over Lex Luger beats but I'd like to hear him doing an album with a producer like Alchemist, actually.

I mean, are people disappointed with Gunplay's rhymes here or the production, primarily?

New Danny Brown, produced by Clams Casino. Predictably, the beat is interesting and Danny Brown is uninteresting. I remember when I used to think he was one of the best rappers around :(

gunplay is def connected to the 90s more than most rappers today - not just cos of his age. i remember reading his favourite rap albums list on complex - its pretty canonical. you can tell thats the era he really identifies with. though saying that, he sounds brilliant on heavy lex luger-ish beats, so its not like he doesnt quite fit. his flow is pretty choppy, so he sounds a bit weird on old 90s beats too lol.
