Gucci Mane – Heavy (prod. Shawty Redd)
The track “Heavy” by Gucci Mane is featured on his 2009 album entitled “The State vs. Radric Davis.” The production on this song was handled by the heavyweight Shawty Redd, who has previously produced songs for Gucci. The chorus on this one starts out by saying, “Heavy, real heavy, it feels heavy, somebody help me, my neck hurt my chain heavy, heavy, doors heavy, flows heavy, Gucci bag full of cash, it’s so heavy.” In this song he addresses his ego, by saying that it’s getting too big. This track right here goes hard from start to finish and is surely a breakthrough track for Radric Davis. His fans [and even people that have been sleeping on his skill] will recognize that this track is what the streets need.
He drops some solid lyrics like: “I need some toilet paper; I’m the shit in East Atlanta” and never fails to impress the listeners. The piano on this track is absolutely insane and is destined to make the trappers go crazy. In addition, the 808 drums absolutely bang through the listener’s sound system. Is this Gucci Mane song going to get a lot of radio play? Probably not, but it is recognized as one of the most street tracks on his album. He also addresses The State by saying, “I gave my lawyer half a mill and told him come and get me.”
Gucci Mane always brings some solid lyrics to impress his fans saying things like “I keep Miami heat, got more straps than a gun show, run up on the kid I’ll have you mourning like Alonzo” as well as (later in the track) – “I got birds like Atlanta zoo – bitch who are you? I got goons like a scary movie – yeah that is true, And I change cars like a rich white girl change shoes.” This song is like a digital dose of energy drink, it will leave you feeling pumped up for long after hearing it. Although nearly all of his mixtapes are dope, songs like this are able to draw a clear line between album and tapes.

Gucci Mane – Nickelodeon (prod. Shawty Redd)
Everyone knows that Gucci Mane likes to drop crazy stupid tracks that people would never expect. A lot of people really enjoy hearing the Gucci Mane Nickelodeon song, which features production from Shawty Redd. This track goes ham to the max, and was featured on several of his mixtapes that have been released. You can find this joint on the Zone 6 To Duval mixtape presented by Bigga Rankin and Gucci – as well as on disc 2 of the So Icey Boy mixtape. The bass on this instrumental really pounds, and the streets really dig this joint. If you are missing this track from your collection, you need to get a copy in your system. Listeners have said that this song slaps louder than most and is fun to bump.
Throughout this song, he makes references cartoon characters and other animated creatures such as: Sponge Bob, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, the Grinch, Superman, Garfield, Bugs Bunny, Bart Simpson, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and more. The metaphors are absolutely disgusting and worth hearing if you’ve never heard this joint. If you have already heard this track, you have got to respect his grind and creativity with a title like “Nickelodeon.” He makes references to his jewelry, his past, the production from Shawty Redd, as well as other aspects of his lifestyle.
There is no official music video that has been released for this track, although most would agree that it would be cool to see Gucci drop one for this song. An animated one similar to the “Stupid Video” would be really dope. As of now, though, he is focusing on getting footage for his album “The State vs. Radric Davis.” Even though this is an older mixtape song, there’s no denying that it is incredibly hot.
Most people can tell that he stays going hard for Zone 6 in East Atlanta and is making music that the hood loves. Even the newer generation of fans that are just starting to discover Gucci’s talent can ride to heat rock like “Nickelodeon.” This is one of those songs that you can lock on repeat and memorize. The Nickelodeon lyrics prove that he can impress his listeners any time he wants, it’s just a matter of coming up with a new creative concept. This is another prime example of why Gucci is one of the hottest in the game today.
