In a recent interview with Yahoo! Music, Gucci Mane spoke on the concept behind his new album, his take on music sales, and compared his Brick Squad 1017 group to that of a certain famous 1990’s record label.
After dropping his major label debut The State vs. Radric Davis last winter, the Atlanta rapper is set to release his sophomore effort The Appeal: Georgia’s Most Wanted next month. Stating that the album is nearly 80% done, he explained, “It’s actually the sequel to The State vs. Radric Davis, my last album. It’s just about second chances, about never giving up.”
While The State vs. Radric Davis has sold favorably well for 2009-10 numbers, Gucci Mane theorized that the overall decline of album sales may actually be beneficial for fans and artists alike. “People aren’t selling as many records as they were selling in the ’90s, but [that’s] great for the fans. The artists that you love, they got to do more now.”
Continuing, he said, “Me, I love to work anyway. Of course, I’d love to sell a trillion CDs, but at the end of the day, I love making music the most. The more I do it the better I get. It’s not making me stale; it’s making me fresher.”
After his album makes its way to record store shelves, Gucci projected protégé Waka Flocka Flame’s debut Murda-Man Flocka will come immediately afterward, followed by the release of 1017 Brick Squad crew’s (Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, OJ Da Juiceman) currently-untitled collaborative project.
Loosely comparing Brick Squad to Death Row Records, Gucci Mane explained, “’Pac, Dre, Snoop, and the Dogg Pound…I can’t say which person is which, but as far as just musically, we got people who have been doing it for a long time, newcomers, and people who just play they role. We got a championship team, we just practicing to get ready for the game.”
The Appeal: Georgia’s Most Wanted is tentatively scheduled for an August 31 release through 1017 Brick Squad/Asylum/Warner Brothers.
1017 Brick Squad? Nah….I’m aight. You go ahead homie.
Comparing 1017 Brick Squad to Death Row?
He must mean the Death Row AFTER Dre, Snoop and the Dogg Pound left…..
yeah, i want to know who’s their equivalent, of DR DRE???
I think he meant the actual Death Row. Prison and then death due to lethal injection. I feel like i’m on Death Row when listening to these guys.

haha frenchie got one good song and thats the 1017 anthem, other than that theres nothin. Gucci made everyone in that crew, gucci the biggest hustler there was
If this article was about some unknown underground rapper that only the nerds on the internet ever heard off, this would get more positive comments…
If you don’t like Gucci, quit crying then! Nobody is forcing you to like him! smh
Who’s crying? We’re just stating how we feel. Nothing personal, we just don’t like the music. If you like Gucci then cool. But it bothers me that some people actually consider this music to be the overall sound of the culture, and the hip hop culture and the black race gets ridiculed because this is all they ever show on TV and play on the radio.
And when you ask a non hip hop fan why they don’t like hip hop, what do they say? “All they talk about is drugs, sex and violence and they all sound retarded.” And I know for a fact that it would bother you too if someone told you that exact statement unless you’re one of those people who say “Well you’re hatin’ on Gucci cause he be gettin’ money and you’re broke” or some other bulls**t like that.
^ this comment right here sums up everthing wrong in hip hop and point blank tells you why gucci manes garbage THANK YOU miguel! im glad someone on here is talking some sence.
gucci cool…he just funny as hell to me so i really dont take his music too serious. but if he get on a heavy grind like weezy did in 07/08 den his next album should at least go platnum. but dat brick squad shit gon flop cuz flocka jus suck n nobody gon care about anybody in da group but gucci.
