Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
After re-energizing gangsta rap, Gucci Mane aims at the charts on his latest album.
-
Prefix
There have been, and probably will be, better rap albums this year. But none will be more fun.
-
Rolling Stone
This Atlanta mush mouth serves up hip-hop comfort food: rich synth beats; laid-back cadences; songs that find a gloriously low concept and stick to it.
-
Pop Matters
The Appeal is a perfect study in what it is that separates a street rapper on the cusp of extreme mainstream acceptance with a street rapper that has no interest in approaching that point.
-
Billboard
In usual hip-hop fashion, "The Appeal" also offers something for the ladies and the club-goers.
-
HipHopDX
A big budget, guest-heavy release that distinguishes a Gucci Mane album from his endless supply of mixtapes.
-
Sputnik Music
Gucci, i think the marijuana has finally fried your brain cells.
-
Spin
Goofy wit, meandering rhyme schemes, nonchalant charisma.
-
Beats Per Minute
Gucci is simultaneously likeable and goofy, which is likely what’s allowed for his success.
-
Rap Reviews
His lyrics are mind-numbing, he never changes his cadence, never displays any excitement, and makes absolutely no effort whatsoever to make his songs interesting.
-
The Line of Best Fit
He’ll never be a pop star, but Gucci Mane deserves to be heard and recognized outside of the internet echo chamber as the best rapper doing it.
-
Creative Loafing
The Appeal displays a new, more enlightened Gucci. And you know? It's a good look for him.
-
AllMusic
Another worthy, aboveground effort, holding more highlights than your everyday release while broadening the man’s horizons.
