Background and composition

[edit | edit source]

"Gucci Gucci" is a pop-rap song.[2] In the song she proclaims her disdain for wearing designer brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Prada.[3] The single gained popularity after being uploaded on her YouTube channel on May 16, 2011, the song garnered nearly 3 million views on YouTube in a little over two weeks.[4] The song's success was able to get her a record deal with Columbia Records.[5]

Kreayshawn wrote the song with hip-hop rapper and ghostwriter Anthony "Speak!" Negrete. In an August 2011 interview with Rebecca Haithcoat from LA Weekly, Negrete stated that he had never been paid royalties for his contributions.[6]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

The song received rave reviews. Touré commented on the song: "The song basically attacks a central tenet of hip-hop: Many rappers embrace labelism as part of their celebration of upward mobility as well as a postmodern sentiment that you are the brands you wear." He also said that the song had "childishly simple rhyme patterns" such as "I'm lookin' like Madonna, but I'm flossin' like Ivana."[7] James Montgomery of MTV ranked "Gucci Gucci" 23rd of his top 25 songs of 2011.[8] The song was remixed by hip-hop rapper Lil Wayne for his mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait. The song is also ranked in Pitchfork's The Top 100 Tracks of 2011 and many other publications.[9]
