It’s lovely, as usual, to see Gucci Mane in high spirits and good cheer on this installment of NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series. Certainly, he’s the only performer ever to have done this show and mention his “two AK-47s and a blowtorch.” But they want you to thrill at the cognitive dissonance caused by this very unlikely performance in a space that looks like a college radio station circa 1995, so let’s not give them what they want. Instead, look past Gucci Mane to the piano, where his longtime producer Zaytoven is sitting, enthusiastically playing some roadhouse soul, maybe a little jazz, and oodles of sprightly little fills.
