Dec 12, 2016Everybody Looking is one of the best examples of Gucci Mane's contributions to rap in his highly prolific catalog.
-
Jul 28, 2016The tunes he’s releasing are fresh and exciting.
-
Jul 27, 2016Everybody Talking might not be the very best record Gucci’s ever released--as much as everyone’s rooting for him right now, it’s hard to say whether this album can displace Chicken Talk or Mr. Zone 6 in his vast canon. But it’s by far the greatest cause for celebration in all of Gucci’s career; the iceman comebacketh.
-
Jul 26, 2016Gucci sounds more comfortable, confident and icier than ever before.
-
Jul 29, 2016Mike WiLL Made-It and Zaytoven construct a cinematic backdrop, but Gucci’s execution is a bit wanting. Regardless, it’s 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.
-
Aug 2, 2016Everybody Looking, Gucci's ninth album and first after a two-year stay in federal prison, is a compelling left turn, the sound of a veteran innovator reclaiming his territory not with larger-than-life charisma and off-the-wall imagery but fresh intimidation tactics.
-
Jul 26, 2016There’s less party and more perspective. He sees the troubles he went through before prison for what they are.
-
Jul 26, 2016It will please fans looking for Another Gucci Mane mixtape. Everyone else will likely find it a bit spotty. Certain songs fall into familiar--now six- or seven-year-old--formulas. His vocals, no doubt out of practice, sound a bit rusty. But most of all, it just feels unfinished, rushed.
-
Jul 27, 2016As it is, Everybody Looking feels like a slight step up from Gucci’s prison mixtapes, but not the major step that a Free Gucci statement album might warrant.
-
Jul 29, 2016What it evidently lacks in ideas and concepts, it makes up for in well-channeled cathartic energy.
-
Jul 26, 2016As usual, he’s at his best when things get a little weird.
-
Aug 4, 2016While the beats are relatively mediocre and not at all unusual for this brand of hip hop, they do a decent job matching the dark picture Gucci paints. Unfortunately, that picture is more of a rough sketch as Gucci steers more toward unrefined flows and bland, mechanically arching vocals rather than a more thought out approach.
-
Jul 28, 2016The eerie emotional electricity and forensic detail of the single 1st Day Out Tha Feds dissipates across 14 songs that desperately lack variety and humour, and choruses that aren’t just Gucci grimly repeating the song’s title.
