"FacebookPinterestGucci Mane.jpg\n\nRapper Gucci Mane might be in an Atlanta prison right now for parole violations, but that hasn't stopped him from having a big week on the internet. The genre-and-continent-hopping DJ Diplo released a collection of Gucci remis that's available\u2014for free\u2014over at Mad Decent. But our favorite Gucci tracks right now are still \"Lemonade\" and \"Stupid Wild\" (both below), two Bangladesh-produced songs from Gucci's recent album The State Vs Radric Davis. While still locked up, Gucci was kind enough to pump some quarters into the payphone and tell us a quick tale about the making of those two tracks.\n\nOkay so what's the story behind this song featuring Cam'Ron and Lil' Wayne that has the really wild Bangladesh beat?\n\n [Laughs] That's exactly why I called the song \"Stupid Wild!\" I made that song when I was in Las Vegas. I was at the Palms Hotel just havin a ball. They got a studio in there so we were recording. Bang was going to the UFC fights, and I was doing hella gambling out there and shit. In between, I don't know how we made a record, but we made a little time to get in there and that's what we banged out.\n\n What kind of gambling do you do?\n\n I only shoot dice. Craps only.\n\n When Bangladesh was cooking up that beat, what caught you about it?\n\n Well we did two songs. The first song we did was \"Lemonade.\" First he had that beat for me and I just wrote it and spit it. We made that song in maybe twenty or thirty minutes. I told him, \"Honestly, I'm gonna go gamble and mess with some girls.\" So when I told him that, he said, \"I'm fixin' to cook up another beat.\"\n\n A little later, when I came back from the little party I was having, he already had the \"Stupid Wild\" beat. So I went and freestyled it. I was just feelin' good and just went in and spit it. That whole trip was like a blur. [Laughs] People heard those records and were like, \"Where'd yall do that?!\" I was like Vegas. [Laughs]\n\n **\n\n How'd you do on the craps tables on that trip?**\n\n Oh I got 'em that time. I hit 'em pretty good that time.\n\n **\n\n That means you're screwed next time you're out there.**\n\n That might be right.\n\nOther than making hits, what were your goals for this album? You've got some different ideas\u2014and flows\u2014this time out.\n\n I just wanted to make this the most well-rounded album I ever put out. I generally don't talk on my records about personal things in my life. Experiences I've had. Disappointments I've had. Failures I've had. Or even just trials and tribulations. But I address all that on this album. I usually just do party records. But this time I also went back to real street songs, real hood shit. And then there are collaborations I've always wanted to do with people like Usher and Keri Hilson. Different producers like Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh.\n\nAnd Bangladesh. In Sin City.\n\n Right. [Laughs]\n\n\"Lemonade\"\n\n\"Stupid Wild\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
