Gucci Mane - Haterade
Artist: Gucci Mane
Featuring: Nicki Minaj , Pharrell Williams
Producer: The Neptunes
Album: The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted
Label: 1017 Brick Squad/Warner Bros.
Wait, I thought Stuart Scott trademarked the phrase “Haterade” way back in 2005? Shouldn’t the esteemed Mr. Scott at least get a credit next to Nicki Minaj and Pharell on Gucci Mane’s new single? Sportcenter references aside, Gucci’s latest sounds primarily like a Pharrell track he happens to drops a couple guest verses on, a feeling no doubt due to The Neptunes pervasive and instantly recognizable production style, which takes over the song. On the mic, unlike his fast work on yesterday’s For the Hood, here Gucci is back to his slow, at times incomprehensible rhyme style, and if that wasn’t enough to bring out the haters, Nicki Minaj also drops in for a relatively subdued guest verse that finds her striking a surprisingly introspective tone…kind of. The aforementioned haters already decided how they felt about this one before they pressed play, but I’ll be interested in seeing how the rest of Booth Nation feels. If you’re eagerly drinking down this Haterade (the blue flavor’s the best) be sure to cop the recently un-incarcerated Mr. Mane’s new album, The Appeal: Georgia’s Most Wanted, when it drops September 28.

Funny thing is... this isn't half bad. I'd actually rate it higher, but then I am reminded that its a Gucci record. It's nice to have talented friends, huh?

Just went in to listen to the track and it's a decent listen, but nothing that would last in my rotation = 3, I suppose.

100% agree with yubu8, c'mon Z.
Some people would be hesitant to say it, but Gucci is easily one of my favorite rappers (not lyricists) but rappers. The man makes hits and I gotta say I like alot of them including this one. Banger! |

This track is actually not half bad, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with Gucci himself. The production and hook are decent, but it's still not worthy of rotation. I am never able to enjoy a track with Gucci's shallow grumblings over it. Nikki doesn't help the track much. Sorry guys, but in this case it's just Reality-ade.

"Gucci is back to his slow, at times incomprehensible rhyme style"
I'm pretty sure Nathan didn't listen to the entire song. I'm an official Gucci Fane. He has quickly become a respectable rapper. |

I don't like Gucci because he punches women. But I suppose that hasn't a thing to do with his track here. Pharrell saved it for me, Nicki's verse would have been better suited for her own album, no point in getting introspective on a Gucci track. The relaxed feel of the song kept me listening. Gucci can string words together, though nothing about him really stands out to me. 'Salright

I'm going with 3 stars only for Pharrell and Nicki. I don't like Gucci Mumble cuz it's never clear what he's saying. Would've been better if it was a Nicki track ft. (insert any other rapper).

I'm totally in the Juanito_88 camp. The production's stellar, as is the hook, and the verse from Nicki was impressive, but I'm just not feeling Gucci. I mean the man rhymed "time" with "time", three times. It's ok.
And kingkas888, good point. I'll be sure to take a minute to really check out the new Banks and 50.

As much as you all may hate this coming comment. I do enjoy me some Gucci.
Unfortunately, I do not feel Gucci as much on this one on his first first. I do enjoy the song though. 3.5, Will round up though. |
