Cory Gunz - Dope Game
Artist: Cory Gunz
Producer: Pro + Dot (Militia Music)
Album: Bring the Gunz Out Mixtape
Label: After Platinum/YMCMB
I know what you’re thinking. Cory Gunz’ new leak Dope Game is about the dope game. Man are you wrong. Despite its title, Dope is a complex exploration of the role subprime mortgages played in the recession. No, of course it’s about the dope game. Actually, the latest effort from the Bronx native and son of the legendary Peter Gunz, traffics mainly not in cocaina but in raw rhymes. Behind the boards producers Pro and Dot (of Militia Gang) set down the kind of piano driven yet rugged beat that’s been a staple of east coast rap for decades, and on the mic Gunz responds more than capably, delving into the forces that helped shape him, from the corner hustlers to the corner rhymers: “All I knew was Mommy ain’t home / So a n**ga stood along…while Jimmy roll bones while Johnny rolled poems.” Whether you credit nature or nurture, Gunz’ lines are addictive on this one. For more never stepped on hip-hop, be sure to cop Cory’s upcoming mixtape, the punnily titled Bring Out the Gunz, when it drops on a yet-to-be-determined date.

Gunz is nasty on the mic... and has been for, oh I don't know, about a decade? Hardly a new artist, it seems he is finally getting respect and noticed by fringe fans (thank you, Young Money). The concept of this record is tried and stale, by Gunz is neither in ability or execution. I could bump this... more than once.

I was clearly sleeping on Gunz. I knew he was nice but frankly didn't know that much about his music. This song completely sold me though. From now on, I'm definitely checking all his new music. He's got that street flow that remains complex.

He's clearly on the wrong label. If you're gonna be left out of the entire label album, and you've got more skill than over half the entire label, then it's clear. I want to see Gunz on either G.O.O.D. Music, or Rocafella. Honestly, if Dame Dash picked this dude up, the stoner rap movement would be blossoming even more.
