Liked So Icy

"I listened to the album a few weeks later after the Icy song came out. But even if Gucci Mane can come up with the silliest lyrics about his jewelry in that song, that song is so funky! Why isn't it even higher on the music charts? There must have been a live band in that studio on that song! Because the glistening percussion is so phenomenal. And the keyboards and basslines fit so perfectly with the beats and Gucci's raps. It is so infectious and catchy with its Atlanta sound and gives some of Lil' Jon's crunk-heavy records some competition. Maybe even the more acclaimed Outkast's hit songs. This is a hot song that could even challenge the very popular 50 Cent's recent hits of Candy Shop and Just a Lil' Bit. It sounds very 1986 with its Casio-like keyboard sound or mixing '80s excess with the 2005 bling style of New Orleans' Cash Money artists. The rest of the album is just as solid, very Atlanta-based with the popular crunk sound from that city. It can be a little repetitive on some songs, but it's just as infectious. While Mane has gotten in trouble as of recently, hopefully he can look past that and concentrate more on his music career. He will be a face to watch in music with his flamboyant rap style."
