GUNPLAY - 4 LOKO


We first noticed Gunplay in the viral video where he is sniffing coke backstage at a Rick Ross music video set in Colombia. Social realism at its utmost, question was: is 
this where rap is heading, to its extremes, after everyone switched to bragging about doing "bricks" this and K that? It outstepped the role of marijuana, as the drug of choice in hiphop, which is now smoked as often as cigarettes. 
I´d never condone song lyrics, but isn´t funny how people like Young Jeezy sings about "no man should have this much powder", and if it really is cool that hard drug terms is being thrown around like it waz about "poppin some bottles". Further on, which REAL bigtime dealer with an intent of keeping his job, would give out a mixtape called "Cocaine Boyz"? =D Anyway, Gunplays scarred voice comes out honest, as someone battered by life but still wanting to hit it off. Thats why his trax are real good, and productions are off the hook too. Despite the fact that we never get why the cover features Gunplay on a parody of Inglourious Basterd, with a swastika and all.   

from mixtape "Inglorious Bastard"




Real stars don´t sit at a VIP table, they just walk in the 
deli on a hot afternoon and grab a 12% alco soda pop


In addition to that, whats up with all the rappers smoking so much weed that they catch chronic bronchitis? The more the merrier. In Jackie Chains "HAZE" video, a guy is almost passing out from smoking out of a plastic bag. We´re waiting for the day where people honestly say "I fucking smoke 40 cigarettes a day, playa". With this excess we´ll all be dead soon. But we do go ham in the traphouse.  


PLUS 

A more "kind" Gunplay reflects upon which direction life is going, and this song can 
easily be played a whole afternoon, it actually makes more sense after the 20th time.
