Gucci Mane – Diplo Presents: Free Gucci (Best of The Cold War Mixtapes)

Ha! You back! Get the newsletter!

Gucci Mane was one of 2009th hottest in US rap. Diplo musta felt that way too, so he put together a remix Mixtape with constributions by himself, Flying Lotus, Douster, DZ, Mumdance, Benzi, Brodinski, Bird Peterson, Emnyd and others.

I didnt really pay attention to Guccis stuff in 2009. To me, Dirty South got a lil uninteresting cause it slowed down in making progress, other stuff was more interesting it I defffnitly didnt feel like snapping fingers and brushing dust of my shoulder in 09. Buttt: I defffnitly payed attention to Gucci some years ago. After gettin into Jeezy around the time of his major debut of course I checked out his arch enemy of that time too. Gucci had momentum with So Icy, just like collaborating Jeezy. Problem was, after the track they got into beef and Gucci shot a guy trying to rob him, allegedly send by Jeezy. So Jeezy rocked the charts and Gucci had to fight charges. He did, but chart topping retalition had to wait till 09. Now they sqashed beef btw. Problem at the end of 09 for Gucci: hes in jail again. Violated probation. So thats were the title of Diplos mixtape comes from.

Mixtape is nice, nothing more, nothing lesser. Like the Emnyd track and dude even added the instrumental on his blog. Lots of tight producers on the tape, so check their work.
