[MUSIC] GUNNA DISAPPOINTS ON DEBUT ALBUM

Gunna album was like a heartbeat right before it flatlines. It has few bright spots but it eventually just flat lines and makes you sleepy. The hype for this project was major, with a season full of hits with his cohort Lil Baby such as “Sold Out Dates“, “Drip Harder“, ‘Drip Season 3“, Gunna was primed for superstardom. But that wasn’t the case with the lackluster, starless, anthem less ablum ” Drip or Drown 2.”

This album was utterly disappointing because I was expecting so much from Gunna. After the 4th track, I was ready to cut the whole thing off and play Madden in complete silence. I was patiently waiting for that beat dropping summer anthem, flow changing track to come. Then Derek Fisher(feat. Lil Baby) came on and…… I knew all hope was lost after that. This one tempo elevator music track confirmed my belief, Gunna may be a feature only artist. Yeah, the duo of Gunna and Lil Baby have been unstoppable but have they reached their peak together? All through the past year, we were spoiled with Gunna contagious flow, drip talk, and summer banger anthems were he would calmly flow on the beat and make the track his. This project had none of that.

Now I won’t completely trash the album because it did have its bright spots with tracks like “Yao Ming“, 3 Headed Snake(feat. Young Thug), Same Yung Nigga(Feat.Playboi Carti) and “Who You Foolin” but 4 tracks out of 16 isn’t going to cut it for Gunna. Maybe the Ysl product has too many yes man in his camp or maybe he was feeling himself and thought he could put out anything and it would go. Whatever the case is this isn’t the best music Gunna put forward. Maybe Gunna is only good on tracks he can make his own but not tracks he makes on his own.

Gunna debut album was supposed to be culture-changing but it makes him seem more like a trend than anything else. I hope Gunna can rebound from this L because his days at the top may be numbered if he doesn’t.
