Save for the prim, Bruno Mars and Kodak Black-assisted soul throwback “Wake Up in the Sky,” Evil Genius sticks entirely to of-the-moment trap, with a cadre of the industry’s top producers all contributing mostly interchangeable music. Here he mostly feels like he’s posing for a video shoot.įor a rapper known for his recklessness, he plays it uncharacteristically safe. On his best verses, Gucci sounds like he’s laughing at his own private joke. His rhymes feel more rehearsed than usual, but that isn’t necessarily an improvement. There are fewer outright duds than on most of his projects, but also fewer happy accidents. After months of big talk from Gucci about his newfound high standards-“I’m trying to make this project one of my best projects ever,” he told Billboard-is Evil Genius any better than the average Gucci Mane album? Not really.
