Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
October 24, 2019. The Atlanta legend’s latest continues his consistent streak of mostly-good, sometimes-awkward new material.
-
HIPHOPDX
October 25, 2019. Ultimately, this feels like an underwhelming body of work. With 101 releases — including mixtapes — under his belt, lack of motivation beyond dollars is understandable at this point.
-
NME.com
October 17, 2019. ‘Woptober II’ review: infectious optimism and positivity from the prolific, pioneering rapper.

The Breeze
October 21, 2019. Gucci Mane’s ‘Woptober II’ doesn't disappoint.
-
DJ Booth
October 17, 2019. Gucci Mane hasn’t lost his ability to be a great rapper, but he has gained a crisis of identity. Stuck continuously between the Guwop of legend and the Gucci Mane of classics, Woptober II belongs to the former and not the latter.
-
The Cavalier Daily
October 22, 2019. Gucci Mane’s latest release has some great features, but falls short on originality.
-
AllMusic
October 18, 2019. At a relatively tight 13 tracks, the album is a brisk listen with something for every kind of Gucci fan. Closing out a wild, tumultuous decade of life and hip-hop, Gucci Mane puts a cherry atop the ice-cream-cone-tattoo of his 2010s catalog with one of his very best efforts.

RATINGS GAME MUSIC
October 18, 2019. “Woptober II” is one of those versatile trap albums that appeals to sex-crazed trappers, gritty trappers, and trappers that plank on money. While the hooks and different styles of rapping you get on the album will keep you entertained, the overall identity of it will have you feeling dense, ignorant, and scared for your life . . . .

The Anomaly Diary
October 20, 2019. Woptober II sees Gucci Mane going back to his roots and the results are good for the most part. I wish the energy the songs had at the beginning would have persisted all the way to the end but that’s not the case here.
-
The Mic Magazine
October 22, 2019. Woptober II is meant to be a fun trap project which functions as a love letter to the Atlanta rap scene, and for the most part it succeeds.
-
Daily Campus
October 21, 2019. “Woptober II” is a celebration of the obscene and lavish, and no one throws bands like Gucci. It’s a fantastic return to form for the Atlanta artist who has found some trouble maintaining consistency over the years. But Gucci’s back, and the rap game’s on notice.
-
Tawanda Gona
October 25, 2019. This album is a great showcase of just that. Gucci likes making music, he has fun rapping and loves that he’s been influential in so many careers. Woptober II isn’t a classic, but it’s a solid Gucci album.

theconcordian
October 22, 2019. His clever bars and familiar flow are always welcomed, but Woptober II, like many of its predecessors, has little lasting power compared to some of the classics that Gucci released earlier in his career. The tracks with features always sound like a fun collaboration among friends, or between rookie and vet, while Gucci’s solo songs typically offer more introspection into the mind of a trapstar criminal turned multi-millionaire businessman.
-
Apple Music
Throughout it, Gucci is very much the freewheeling MC whose masterful balance of horrifying threats and impassioned flexing won him his first tier of fans underground. And he’s rapping like he doesn’t care who hears what he has to say.
-
The Cornell Daily Sun
October 23, 2019. Woptober II is an infectiously positive album. Filled with playful beats that feel straight out of video games, we can feel the the well deserved enthusiasm of Gucci Mane . . . .
-
CITY LODGE NEWS
There are a handful of songs . . . where the Atlanta rapper doesn't attempt to portray an image and speaks the truth that made him an icon. By cutting the fat, Woptober II could've been a strong EP instead of a mostly forgettable album.

Rhyme Hip Hop
October 18, 2019. We get some of Gucci’s most well-thought content on this one, bringing good rap back to the saturated industry.
