Do you like Gunna?

Do you like Gunna? I’ve been a big Gunna fan ever since the release of his 2016 mixtape, Drip Season 1. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of his work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Drip Season 3 where Gunna’s presence became more apparent. I think Drip Season 3 was his undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding two mixtapes. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Wheezy, Lil Baby and Gunna. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Helluva Price. In this song, Gunna addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In King Kong (feat. Young Thug) is the most moving trap song of the 2010’s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. His lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rap. Gunna’s solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like Who Do You Foolin and At the Hotel. But I also think Gunna works best within the confines of the duo with Lil Baby, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Drip Too Hard, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Drip Harder came out in 2019, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to 2Pac, but I think Gunna has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Did you know that Gunna’s debut LP, called simply Drip or Drown 2 spent two weeks in the top 100? Did you know that, Messi?

It’s hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but “Same Yung Nigga” is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it’s not too late to better ourselves. Since, of course, it’s impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It’s an important message, crucial really. And it’s beautifully stated on the album.

Imagine ur debut album being a sequel

Yes it is! In 2019, Gunna released this, Drip or Drown 2, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is “Cash War”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the trap itself.

BATEMAN: You like Gunna?

ALLEN: Um, he’s okay.

BATEMAN: His early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Drip Season 3 came out in 2018, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole mixtape has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Young Thug and Kanye West, but I think Gunna has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

ALLEN: Hey, Halberstram?

BATEMAN: Yes, Allen?

ALLEN: Why are there copies of the Fader section all over the place? Do you… Do you have a dog? A little chow or something?

BATEMAN: No, Allen.

ALLEN: Is that a raincoat?

BATEMAN: Yes, it is. In 2019, Gunna released this; Drip or Drown 2, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is “Sold Out Dates”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!

Bateman murders Allen with an axe

BATEMAN: Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now, you fuckin' stupid bastard!

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Sergio Giavanni Kitchens. I’m 26 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
