Video: Mixtape Monday: Gucci Mane, Whoo Kid Banned From Em’s Studio & 50 Tape, Erick Sermon Talks Keith Murray & Canibus Album
Damn, we’re late again with Mixtape Monday. I wasn’t here yesterday and eskay/nation missed it.
Sidenote: I don’t know em personally (eskay does) but much respect to Shaheem, Rahman & Jason. I’ve followed Mixtape Monday religiously since 2002 before blogs blew up. They were my Nah Right before Nah Right. They’re still killing it.
Read the whole writeup at MTV News:
He has his face on almost as many mixtape covers as Lil Wayne and the streets have been shouting his name for a while — Gucci Mane is home and he doesn’t want to stop working.
“I was very excited about the new popularity I had,” Gucci said about the fresh batch of fans he gained during the past seven months he spent in jail. “I got a bigger audience to dig my new stuff. I’m always making music, so to do it in front of bigger audience so more people can tune in … I got more listeners now.”
While he was incarcerated, Gucci’s camp and friends launched a campaign to help keep his name in people’s ears. He had over an album’s worth of material circulating through the underground, including tracks he recorded for himself or guest appearances on other artists’ songs. He wasted no time in getting back out there after he was released from the big house.
“My new mixtape is called Writing on Da Wall,” he explained in Atlanta recently. “I started working on it when I got out of jail. … I put some of the best verses I think I ever wrote on it. I’m gearing them up for my album … I just went hard in on ‘em. Me and DJ Holiday came up with a concept and put a lot of lifetime experiences on them songs.”
….A 50 Cent mixtape is coming, according to DJ Whoo Kid. Apparently Fif is in Las Vegas now working with Dre on Before I Self Destruct, and somewhere along the way, he’s going to put aside material for a street CD.
Speaking of scared, Eminem’s camp is wary of Whoo Kid getting anywhere near the new Slim Shady record “We Made You.” The Queens native laughed that they are afraid of him leaking the track.
“They’re stressing me not to come to the studio so I don’t Bluetooth their computers,” Whoo Kid laughed. “They’re mixing it down in Vegas. It might be today, tomorrow — but it’s definitely gonna come out.”
…
Only for the fans of lyrics — Keith Murray and Canibus are recording an independent rap album together, with Erick Sermon supplying the beats.
“What happened was, I think Keith Murray and Canibus were doing shows [and came up with the idea],” Sermon explained. “They’ve been doing shows for the last six months back and forth. I guess somebody stepped to them about putting something together. They called me to do the album. I think they’re two songs deep so far, but it’s kinda ill to hear them. Keith Murray is out-there, lyrically, and now Canibus is a step way further out-there than he is. It’s a dope mixture.”
Sermon promised that there will be no commercialism on the album — the duo aren’t going for airplay, they just want to capture the underground audience.
“It’s only for heads,” E said. “I don’t think there’s gonna be one radio record on there, just rhymes and concepts.”
Expect the concepts to get really weird — Canibus has made records where he raps from the perspective of the AIDS virus, while Murr can go interplanetary like he did on “Escape From the World.” Sermon says the two are definitely going for the jugular.
“The whole thing that made EPMD dope, that’s what made Redman and Method Man dope — you kinda battle each other in between. You get busy. We do a track together and I’m like, ‘Damn, he said something!’ You go right. … If Canibus says something, Murray gonna try to [say something better]. But it’s friendly so far. What I’ve experienced so far has been really, really crazy.”

Gucci is just ignorance on a beat…if your looking for deep lyrics, double entendres and the meaning of life then don’t listen to Gucci. If you want to hear a hilarious, hood-ass nigga spit true life shit listen to Gucci.

Pretty much. In order to enjoy Gucci’s music, you have to throw out all your prevconceptions of what good hiphop music is supposed to sound like. Cause it doesnt sound anything like that. In fact, it sounds like the opposite of that.But thats the appeal of it I think.
