Album Review: Gucci Mane - Woptober II

‘Woptober II’ is one of those versatile trap albums that appeal to all types of trappers. While the hooks and different styles of rapping you get on the album will keep you entertained, the overall identity of it will have you feeling dense, ignorant, and scared for your life a bit (These aren’t terrible feeling to have when it comes to rap albums).

One thing people don’t mention is how much Gucci has improved as a lyricist. To me, in ‘Woptober II,’ he does a great job of dishing out clever punchlines and switching up flows. Are the topics he touches on meaningful? Well, it depends on whether or not you’ve caught a body or spent at least a million in the last year,

The production on ‘Woptober II’ is no different from the stuff you heard on any other Gucci Mane album from the last two years. In other words, this album features hard trap beats and strip club-inspired trap beats. As for the guest appearances on ‘Woptober II,’ I thought they were pretty good, as YoungBoy Never Broke Again put up one of his best verses in ‘Richer Than Errybody,’ Megan Thee Stallion stole the show in ‘Big Booty,’ Lil Baby gave us something solid in ‘Tootsie,’ and Takeoff/ Peewee Longway delivered pure solidness for us in ‘Wop Longway Takeoff.’

Much like 95% of Gucci Mane’s other albums/mixtapes, in about a week, you will forget that ‘Woptober II’ exists. Is it a terrible album? No, I just think Gucci makes so much music, our memory banks don’t even bother wasting its time trying to remember his music anymore.
