March Music Madness

I'm doing a 2 for 1 special tonight as part of my return. I'm doing a preview of #RollingPapers by @RealWizKhalifa & an album review of The Return Of Mr. Zone 6 by @Gucci1017. And then I got a special treat at the end. And then you can go home.

ALBUM PREVIEW
Rolling Papers - Wiz Khalifa


I could be a lazy blogger and just tell you to go buy this when it comes out. But no I rather give you reasons. Reason Number 1: This album is f*cking dope. Reason Number 2: Aside from black & yellow and maybe 1 or 2 other tracks, these are all new UNHEARD of tracks! This includes Cabin Fever, so if you downloaded that and you're worried this is just that mixtape plus some other tracks, stop worrying. That isn't even close to the case. Reason Number 3: the whole album is just so smooth. None of that "find my favorite track, skip this track I'm tired of it" the album just goes together from start to finish. Put simply: Wiz has a hit on his hands. As you know my previews don't do much more than tell you whether you should waste your money & time or not on the album because I don't like giving a lot away so here goes:
Cali Recommends? YES

ALBUM REVIEW
The Return Of Mr. Zone 6 - Gucci Mane


Put aside, for a moment, the fact that this man tattooed an Ice Cream cone on his face. Well if you can't put it aside, don't knock the ALBUM for the fact it has the tattoo clearly visible on the album cover. If you are a Gucci Mane fan you listen to him for his music and not his tattoos. Playas f*ck up too. Anyways, Return of Mr. Zone 6 is dubbed as a street album. Which probably plays a big role in why most tracks were found on Gucci's recent mixtapes. So as far as exclusivity, there isn't a lot. But on a good note, the songs that were on mixtapes and made it to the album are actually good ones. Not saying this album isn't a good one, it's just it IS a street album, which is practically a mixtape minus the DJ and sold retail. So if you look at this album as the mixtape it is, you'll enjoy it. There's no new direction, it's all classic Gucci (Rapping not Songs) so if anything, the fans are going to feel this. On one of his tracks "Bricks", he resurrects Master P's career for a short period of time. The features include Wale, Brick Squad members (Waka, Slim, Wooh, and OJ), Master P, Birdman, Webbie, Rocko, 8Ball, and more. I have a sort of bias ear for the album because I've heard most of the tracks on mixtapes but a new fan or even veteran fan will really enjoy this album.

Rating: 4/5

And as for my surprise treat, this all depends how much you like music. But I'm addicted to this song now thanks to a friend so I'm sharing it with the masses:
Young L (of the Pack) - Loud Pockets

Enjoy & don't say I never gave you sh*t.

SeptemBURR Preview!!

This tuesday is SeptemBURR meaning theres a major #GucciMane release coming out. Now ORIGINALLY Young Jeezy, T.I., And Gucci Mane's albums were ALL supposed to drop this tuesday. As far as we all know right now, Jeezy & T.I.s albums have been pushed back (This isn't news for Jeezy, we're convinced TM103 is NEVER dropping). As far as big time competition, Gucci now has to compete with the out-of-nowhere release of "I Am Not A Human Being" by Lil Wayne. Now this isn't another "Rebirth" mishap but it isn't "Carter 4" either so as far as projections go on sales, no ones knows. Back to the Brick Squad leader for the hour:

"The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted" is Gucci's first retail release since he was released from jail this past May. This album seems as sort of a sequel to "The State Vs. Radric Davis" and also sort of a "Hey N*ggas I'm Back" sign to let people know being in jail did NOT make him fall off. He went from his first featurette on "She Geeked" to dropping two exclusive mixtapes: Ferrari Music & Jewelry Selection. While "The Appeal" has a few tracks released on those tapes & around the internet, it features MANY songs not heard yet. The first single "Show Time (Ft. Swizz Beatz)" was only a preview of what the album had to bring. He has Bun B, Swizzy, Nicki Minaj, Pharrell, Estelle, Ray J, & Wyclef make guest appearances on the 15 track album. This ones skit free so you won't hear Mike Epps retarded a$$ on this album. The album doesn't stray far from usual Gucci: you have your "Trap Tracks" for you to bump in your charger, a few tracks for the females, and a few tracks to get the club goin'. Overall it looks to be another Gucci classic but thats for the listeners to determine!

Gucci Mane's The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted drops Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Pick it up from #Walmart, #Amazon, #iTunes, or your local music spot!
