Research Paper On G-Eazy

Decent Essays

“I was fourteen years old when I started rapping and I was terrible. I fell in love with it though, and when that happens with me I become super passionate and go all the way with it.” These words are from Gerald Earl Gillum, better known as his rap name G-eazy. If you would have asked anyone a few years ago who G-eazy was they would have been clueless, that all changed in 2012. When he dropped his first major label album. I would say G-eazy became very successful overnight. Two reasons why I think he is successful, and why I love him is how he tells his story through his music, and how he is very versatile.

He has collaborated with: Britney Spears, Chris Brown, A$AP Ferg, and Kehlani. He works with some artists that are very well-known and others new to the music industry. “Make Me Move” is his collaboration with Britney spears; this song is in my opinion one you would hear in a club. It is a song that anyone can get up and dance to. In some parts it has a slower beat and then G-eazy puts more of a calmer rap style into it. In their song “Drifting” he and Chris Brown put more of a trap style song on the charts, harder bass, and more upbeat music. Even though this song is about a break up it hits your feeling of sadness hard but still in a weird way, puts you in a good mood. Now with A$AP Ferg and G-eazsy’s song “Lotta that” it is a hard rap song with very explicit lyrics, hard base, and even harder music. Last example for the people that like more chilled out music to just sit and listen to “Everything Will Be Ok”, his collaboration with Kehlani is the one for you. He takes all of these songs, and others he has worked with and makes them all special in the way that anyone can find something they enjoy. I first heard G-eazy when one of my friends played “Mean It” which was his first song on the Billboard 100. He puts his heart and soul into every lyric, every bass beat, and every music note. I think fans love him because of that and because he tells his stories, opening us up into his world. Also that he doesn’t strictly stick to rap music. He does some mainstream but knows how to stick to his roots also. G-eazy will continue to become more successful over the years if he keeps doing what he is
