Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Emerging from prison clean and sober in May, Gucci Mane releases an album looking to capitalize on his massive influence.
-
Consequence of Sound
Guwop's first record post-prison comes only about a month after his release and feels rushed
-
HipHopDX
A clear step in the right direction, a completely different beast than the b-side littered mixtapes he’s sanctioned from behind bars over the past three years, and begs for repeat listens.
-
Rolling Stone
Trap-rap’s best new super villain
-
DJ Booth
If you've been waiting for Gucci to come back, he’s here, and sounding better than ever.
-
NME
Gucci Mane’s first album since leaving prison is a riot of big-hitting confessionals, plus Kanye and Drake guest spots
-
Vulture
Better Than He’s Been in Years
-
Spin
A Rap Comeback Like No Other
-
XXL
Gucci sounds more comfortable, confident and icier than ever before.
-
The Guardian
Sadly, this hastily cut album lacks the ambition to challenge reigning trap kings.
-
The Guardian
He’s out of prison and has a new trim look, but Gucci Mane is still doing what he does best: making trap music.
-
HotNewHipHop
He's no clone, but this is a different side of Gucci Mane than we've seen in the past.
-
Sputnik Music
Man, did prison-life change him for the better.
-
AllMusic
One of the best examples of Gucci Mane's contributions to rap in his highly prolific catalog.
-
Noisey
Gucci's most high profile release in years simply by virtue of his recent absence, and it finds Gucci more mature but still funny and defiant.
-
We Plug Good Music
There is another side to Gucci that he expresses through song that is reflective of his choices in life and the results they lead to, but he always brings it back round to a banging rap hit.
-
RESPECT.
A Testimony of Redemption for Guwop
-
Focus Hip Hop
It’s just mediocre.
-
Richer Sounds
As well as the downsides this album does also have some gems.
-
Genius
All the features and beats are great while Gucci finally has something to say.
-
Crack
Thematically, Everybody Looking is a sometimes shaky, but often rewarding, entry into a post-trap future.
-
The Line of Best Fit
A leaner, more coherent and more stable Gucci mirrors a leaner, more coherent and more stable body of work.
-
The Music
Here, as ever with Gucci, the peaks make the troughs worthwhile.
-
Sawwuce Gawd
One of Gucci Mane’s best pieces of work that I have heard.
-
Rhyme Junkie
Perhaps Gucci’s best and most cohesive studio album yet.
-
Renowned for Sound
While some tracks exude the cockiness a lot of rappers exude at times, there are also other tracks you could call, more personal.
-
KINGSMEDIA
Finally back to his best.
-
THEFRESHCOMMITTEE
Undoubtedly one of rap’s most influential artists of the past decade.
-
The Edge
A smooth album that fans of the genre will get a lot of enjoyment out of.
-
Empty Lighthouse Magazine
Gucci Mane brings his authentic trap sound that we all expected with some serious bangers sprinkled in between.
-
The Metropolist
The main appeal to the music of Gucci Mane la fare is found in the ambiguity of the man’s intellect.
-
The Times
Characterful and descriptive as the albums that made his name.
-
Surviving the Golden Age
Finds a mature, reflective Gucci rapping through his reintroduction to the hip-hop community and negotiating his place within the changing landscape.
-
The Musical Hype
There are deeper rap albums, stacked with more “nutrients,” but Everybody Looking is good enough for a bite of something sweet.
-
XFDR
Good, in a general sense, but it’s just as good as dozens of other Gucci Mane mixtapes, and less impressive than a dozen more.
-
Stirlo
A great album, and I expect to be still listening to this in a year.
-
Flyer News
One of his most accessible projects yet.
-
Blavity
A pleasant and vulnerable surprise
-
Qwantity Media
This album has a mixture of the street Gucci and commercial Gucci.
-
Obey the Subliminal
This is a solid album but it’s lack of originality hinders it from becoming any more than that.
-
Nappy Afro
There are songs that I really enjoyed, but as a whole, this project didn’t excite me.
-
The Ringer
Enjoyable because it’s hostile in a very specific and gummy manner that only Gucci Mane can muster.
-
San Antonio Current
The type of gift that only the east Atlanta Santa knows how to give.
-
Wazzup Tonight
Represents anyone who’s fought through adversity to persevere in today’s crazy society!
-
Salient
He sounds different, and yet his trademark flourishes; his uncommon flow, remains.
-
Blurred Culture
An excellent start to a new Gucci that is just as effective, influential and unique.
