G-Eazy: More Than 'Almost Famous'
Seventeen

Gerald Earl Gillum, the Oakland, California rapper with three albums, one LP and countless mixtapes, is somehow still almost famous. After graduating from college, G-Eazy continued as an independent rapper and opened for artists like Drake and Lil Wayne. From his expert lyricism to his dashing '50's good looks, G-Eazy slays the hip hop genre. So, it's important to explain why this rapper really is the next big thing.


1. His lyrics are phenomenal.

Whether the song is about his difficult past like 'Everything Will Be OK' on When It's Dark Out, or he's in the mood to rage like in 'Order More', G-Eazy spits fire.


2. He loves to party.

Especially with Jack Daniels.


3. He's that bad boy.

Similar to the Greasers in the 1950's, Gillum's style gives you the impression that if you hang out, you'll probably end up stealing an expensive car by the end of the night.


4. He has the determination.

As he raps in his song 'One of Them',

"I seen them Rollies, I need one of them

I see them Grammys, I need one of them

I seen them millions, I need some of them

See normal people, I'm not one of them."


5. He means it.


He really does.


6. He has the best-featured artists.

Jay Ant, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Kehlani, A$AP Ferg, Hoodie Allen, DJ Carnage. The list goes on.


7. He's sexy.

Really sexy.


8. AND cute.


He does have feelings. 'Complete', 'Marilyn' and 'Think About You' will melt your heart.


9. His videos are dope.

G-Eazy mocks the classic rap video in 'Loaded', debates his sentiments about being famous in 'Me, Myself, & I' and parties in 'Let's Get Lost'.


10. And he loves his mom.

His biggest supporter, Suzanne Olmsted is featured in the outro of G-Eazy's song 'Opportunity Cost'.


11. He's hilarious.


12. He's incredible live.

Any one of his live performances on Spotify or YouTube makes impossible not to grab a ticket for his When It's Dark Out Tour. (I already have along with Meet & Greet passes.)


13. Yet, he's still 'Almost Famous'.

But, with the album he put out in early December, G-Eazy is on the fast track to stardom thanks to his talent and his fans. And he's earned it.
