UNCUT: Gucci Mane - Chicken Talk Reaction
Added 2023-07-27 02:51:53 +0000 UTCAlthough this whole tape is incredible, I thought showing him a handful of my favourite tracks would be more digestible. Not only do I love Gucci but he is so instrumental in establishing trap music, so this was a necessary listen for my dad. This is the full, uncut version, only on Patreon.

Agree with what you've said but also want to point out that Mannie Fresh was definitely a major influence on the whole region as well.

Exposure to Crunk via Lil Jon and/or Ying Yang Twins would make sense. You may even go back to 2 live crew for their influences. Snap music, I think, is the bridge from Crunk to Trap. You could probably do some stuff like memphis revivalism since your Dad has listed to a bit of 3-6. Since you have done, quite a bit of NY rap, it would be interesting to do some Houston rap, particularly a chopped and skrewed song or two, then early ASAP Rocky.

2023-07-27 17:29:33 +0000 UTCIn reference to the album name, Chicken Talk, I think the best all around definition I could ascribe to it would be something like: shooting the shit, often with either a gossipy or boisterous nature. That's how I heard people using it near Baton Rouge, LA throughout my life at least. It could have a nuanced of completely antithetical meaning local to the the Atlanta area, though. I think I've heard Georgia rappers mention clucking in their lyrics as a reference to talking shit or boasting. Oh after listening to the song, in this context it's possibly a double entendre or, more likely, even exclusively talking about the slang term chicken or bird for a kilo of cocaine.
