Westside Gunn - Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Sincerely Adolf (Discussion Thread)

I hope WSG gives us a few more years. I feel like hes still in his prime, he has more in the tank for sure.

He did say on that Bars on I-95 interview that he'd drop GunnLib as a final solo project, but that that's the only solo project he felt like he would drop.

I don't know. I'm sure he'll do something else after Side B but I could see it being a while. He seems pretty adamant on growing the label and he's signed a ton of people in the past couple weeks, and he's putting a lot of energy out there about wanting to curate albums for Jadakiss, Rae, and Ghost.

I think he'll drop guest verses, but I really do think that we won't hear any solo projects from him for at least a couple of years unless it's GunnLib.

The curating stuff could be amazing, hope that happens but yeah it feels like WSG and Griselda just get more popular, so why stop now.

 

[O.Red]

I want a GFK collab but I don't think that's ever happening

Why wouldn't it?

 

[choc_cardigan]

I hear the ghost collab support, but tbh gunn would need a time machine to make a proper wu album

WSG says Camouflage Monk, Denny LaFlare, and Conductor Williams are called The Heartbreakers and are the official Griselda in-house production team.

what about daringer

 

[TheDarceKnight]

what about daringer

He and Alc are always Griselda family, and but Daringer may have moved away contractually I’m not sure. Either that or he’s still in whatever situation he was in, but just not a part of The Heartbreakers.

Everyone seems to be growing and doing their own thing a bit more, including Daringer.

but look for him to have 5-6 beats on Conway’s album dropping before Halloween.

 

[Ty-Fife]

what about daringer

He still there Gunn just pushing the next wave of GxF producers right now, at least with Denny and Conductor since Monk was there since the beginning until he dipped with Mach and Fah. I wouldn't be surprised if Part B had a couple of Daringer and Al joints since Gunn plans on chilling out on solo projects. We know Daringer is definitely on GDMM, TT4 and if Conway's serious about it, should be doing most of, if not all, of Reject 3.

Good keep the OG team


But low key I wonder how they clear these samples

 

[ExodusNirvana]

This was pretty damn good TBH...bumped this on the way up to Plattsburgh twice and once on the way back...

That AA Rashid shyt at the beginning had me dying

Gunn seemed like he was actually trying to spit this time around which was cool

I'm not even a Wayne fan but holy shyt at that verse...

Tunechi 3K, three bad bytches with me, booty beefcake
My homie in the back masked up like lucha libre

Wait so is Side B a whole new set of songs?????? Cause this did feel kinda short

This right here. Yeah, GDMM has 5 or 6 produced by Daringer. Tana Talk 4 has no producers on it besides Daringer and Alchemist, and Daringer is doing at least most of Reject 3 like you said. There's also a Meyhem Lauren and Daringer album dropping sooner than later.

Daringer has been quiet this year but he has a lot of stuff about to drop. And it's not like The Heartbreakers will be the only GxFR producers. WSG just wants to give a look to some young guns on the production tip as well as the rap tip. The other frequent producers aren't just going to stop being on GxFR projects. Not to mention Conway, Benny, and Boldy have branched far enough out that they are A&Ring most of their own projects now anyways.

Like @Stone said, they don't

95% of all the music GxFR has released is uncleared sample after uncleared sample. It's a big misconception that samples have to get cleared in order to get released onto streaming platforms.

Conway has gone into his own pockets so that GDMM won't have to be sample free (large part of why there's been delays with that album) but besides GDMM, I can't think of any Griselda project with samples that have actually been cleared.

West and Benny have both had to remove songs from streaming platforms in the last year because they got caught and hit with cease and desist letters. If you go listen to Awesome God 2 on streaming, Drive By Love is gone, and the beat for Where Would I Go had to get changed off of Burden of Proof. The OG version of that song is gone too.

Side B is another 17 or 18 joints, yeah.
