Verzuz Fans Questioned Gucci Mane’s Decision To Play His Bruno Mars Collaboration
After telling Jeezy to play something new, Gucci tried it… and the song fell flat. …
Wait, why would Gucci Mane play his Bruno Mars collaboration during Verzuz?
That was the question circulating after Guwop chose to play a fairly recently song he did with Kodak Black and Bruno, “Wake Up In The Sky.” The move was a flub because Gucci had just ridiculed Jeezy about living in the past and told him to play some new sh*t… but when he dropped his own “new” song, it was a complete flop and sort of undermined his point. Secondly, fans wanted to hear deep cuts and older, classic Atlanta rap record — not a sorta pop crossover. Gucci began the night playing diss tracks, so the slow tempo of “Wake Up In The Sky” didn’t do much for his aggressive momentum.
Overall, tonight’s Verzuz seemed to be a dead even match between the two longtime rivals, who have a history of intense bad blood between them. A slight misstep like Gucci opting for this extremely mid collab track angered and disappointed some fans, who were hoping he’d stay in the pocket with cult favorites and successfully win the battle. Check out some more thoughts on the move below, because as always, Twitter remains undefeated when it comes to telling artists exactly how they feel.

Album Review
CMD.EXE unveils “Red Giant Protocol,” a bold journey through machine consciousness and cosmic evolution
Electronic music has always been a playground for imagination, but “Red Giant Protocol” takes that to another level. The 14-track synthwave experience from CMD.EXE is a journey through fading stars, awakening machines, and the unknown future of intelligence.
This album is about creating an ever-expanding universe where artificial consciousness is on the rise and humanity questions its own role in a shifting universe. It starts with “Consciousness in the Void,” a lonely signal in the silence, then “Signal Burst” heightens the tension with a surge of energy and purpose. “Beautiful Prison” is about the concealed pleasure of control, while “E.V.A.01” is the first evidence of self-awareness in an artificial mind.
The next track, “Madame E.V.A.,” also appears intelligent, mysterious, and almost alive, not just programmed. “Ghost Process” goes a step further, suggesting that awareness can survive the loss of its original system, and this is one of the album’s most thought-provoking moments. The middle of the record, moving through “Binary System” and “Accretion Disk,” reaches for the stars, using cosmic events as metaphors for attraction, dependence, and inevitable change.
The emotional center of the album is the title track, “Red Giant Protocol,” a description of the point of no return, when change can no longer be halted. “Mors Machina” presents a bleak portrait of death trapped in a luminous digital realm, and “Thanatophobia” takes you inside for a direct and visceral confrontation with the fear of dying.
The last movement takes the album’s vision beyond the individual, as “Type III Civilization” is about an intelligence capable of manipulating a galaxy. followed by “We Are All Mother,” a track about giving up your individual identity for something bigger. CMD.EXE closes with “Organum Spatii Sacri,” leaving you with a finale that makes the emptiness of space something almost sacred. “Red Giant Protocol” is an immersive concept record that invites people to reflect on technology, existence, and what comes after people.
