Ace Hood: Gutta

Ace Hood: Gutta
Floridian rapper, Ace Hood's debut album Gutta is chalk-full-of high profile guests and producers.
Let's just get the ridiculous lists out of the way first. Gutta features artists like Akon, Trick Daddy, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Trey Songz, Plies, Lloyd, and Juelz Santana and features production by Cool & Dre, Drumma Boy, The Runners, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Shawty Redd, and DJ Infamous.
So now that that is out of the way, we can get to the meat. Ace Hood isn't the most original rapper but that's probably because original doesn't sell right now. Ace Hood's lyrics are typical tough guy thug lyrics. In the song "Guns High", Ace uses the word "pussy" four times in the first verse. The odd thing is this tough guy song follows the song "Gutta" whose main sample is from Vicki Sue Robinson's "Turn the Beat Around" which isn't very hood at all.
Although I feel like I should dislike Gutta, I just can't. The production is so spot on that even pedestrian lyricism sounds great over it.
