During the third episode of Noisey’s series exploring the Atlanta rap scene, the show’s host Thomas Morton spoke with Curtis Daniels, the CEO of Patchwerk Studios where Gucci Mane frequents, who revealed that he owns three hard drives worth of unreleased Gucci Mane material.
“I liked [it] when he was here because he stayed out of trouble,” Curtis Daniels says. “And the label was like, ‘Hey, let’s just keep him in the studio because when he in the studio he ain’t getting into trouble.’ Usually he’ll go from jail to the studio. On the call he’ll be like, ‘I’m getting out. I’ve wrote a bunch of stuff. I’ve got a lot of stuff I need to get off my chest.’ Then, he’ll come in the studio and he’ll just work. That’s how it’s been every other time. In my office I probably got like three hard drives worth of Gucci [Mane’s] music that ain’t been released.”
Thomas Morton also spoke with super producer Zaytoven about Gucci Mane and his influence on the genre of trap.
During the conversation, Zaytoven spoke on trap’s widespread appeal before calling Gucci Mane the “big dog” when it comes to trap music. Zaytoven’s comments come just weeks after calling Gucci “one of the best of our time,” during a recent interview with DJ Smallz.
“The trouble that they get in or try to stay out of is almost the reason why their music come across so good,” Zaytoven says of trap music. “You’ll probably never live that lifestyle [or] never see it, but you’ll feel what they going through or feel what they doing ‘cause these are the type of lifestyle these guys are living.
“We respect Gucci so much because Gucci will bring everybody together,” Zaytoven adds. “He’s the mayor. He’s the main guy when you talk about trap music, that’s who you wanna hear. Everybody else is understudies and doing their thing but he’s the big dog. He’s putting on everybody, he’s giving everybody a shot.”

For more Gucci Mane coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
he aint say how big those hd’s were though, 3 hard drives of verses that all sound the same. free gucci tho
3 Hard Drives FULL of ‘music’……& Not ONE HIT! Might make more melting those down at the recycling center! Gucci, Chief F*ck Up, meek ‘rappers’ & ‘Fake Rick Ross’s have put Hip Hip at an alltime LOW! on ‘Life Support’ with NO signs of reviving it on the horizon!
Man don’t nobody wanna hear no same repetitive verses about imaginary bricks bricks and more bricks if i was them i wood just burn the whole studio down
when u do guccis type of music Im surprised he doesn’t have many more harddrives of ‘music’
Not enough things rhyme with Gucci…..that’s prob why he rhymes Gucci with Gucci so much…..gucci!
an ice cold BURRRRRRRRRRR to the haters #FreeGuwop
workaholic and the realest
Hahaha…..auto correct changed your “washed up codeine junkie” to “workaholic”…..damn these phones!!!!
You know this is a lie, his music may be shitty, but they still have tons of it. How is that not a workaholic. So its kinda checkmate. Go ahead and kill him you still wont shut him up lol
Actually making shitty music isn’t that time consuming, hence not much work……rhyming Gucci with Gucci shouldn’t take long…..so checkmate as you would say…..I mean damn if any of his albums took longer than a weekend to write then dude is just slow…..(remembering the face tattoo of the ice cream)..,.. Ha that’s probably it….CHECKMATE!
All three hard drives contain some variation of this; “Gucci mane, damn, that the name/run the game, cawp the chain/ Gucci man dance, with them Gucci bands man/ them bands is Gucci, and I’m the Gucci man/ so who can band the Gucci like the Gucci man/ and I got Gucci man, on my Gucci band/ that hard rock, call it my Gucci band/”
3TB of the realest…..enjoy
Good, keep them there. That’s where those songs belong.
“Super producer zaytoven”…..this is the equivalent of Danielle Harding citing every rapper as a “lyricist” just because she needs another word for emcee……it’s actually worse cause ‘super producer’ isn’t even a title…..you might as well refer to him as “extraordinairy being”…..come on hhdx, get rid of these bums
gucci is the realest rapper ever period. Who else is the voice for all real niggas in rap other than Gucci thats relevent. Who else feeding the streets?
tell em!!!!!!!!
That hardrive might just be 100MB – Gucci is a bitch ass rapper, nobody is waiting on this crap he keeps making. should just throw that shit in the ocean where It belongs. man Fuck Gucci…clothing label should sue his ass for bitting.
who the fuck cares about guccis ass ? every month we hear about how much he has recorded and how much he can and will release.
write an article where you compare all his songs instead, would be nice to see what his “fans” would say when they realize it’s the same fucking song over and over again instead. no wonder this non-lyrical bitch without talent has 3 HDD’s with music
