Hitler’s Dead (compilation)
Another compilation album but this doesn’t actually feature any new tracks. It’s just a compilation of the first 5 Hitler Wear Hermes mixtapes

Conflicted soundtrack (soundtrack album)
It isn’t the most Gunn focused project since it’s a soundtrack album from the recently released Conflicted.

Hitler On Steroids (with DJ Green Lantern)
A Datpiff exclusive, Hitler On Steroids is a pretty good mixtape considering half of the tracks were previously released on other projects such as Flygod, Hitler 2 & 3, There’s God and There’s Flygod, Praise Both and Conway’s Reject 2.

Jewels Of The Wild
It’s not a Gunn project. It’s an instrumental album that has 2 beats also used on Flygod Is An Awesome God (Lunchin and Birkin) and one on Flygod Is An Awesome God 2 (One More Hit (remix))

WestSide DOOM
Kinda hard to rank this one because it’s only 2 tracks. Both of the tracks are good but it’s more just 2 singles. If it were on the list it would be 20th.

Now for the actual ranking
23. Hitler Wears Hermes 3 - 2015
One of only 2 projects Gunn released in 2015 and for me it’s easily my least favourite. Some of my least favourite production and rapping on any Gunn project. A pretty lackluster tape but it’s only uphill from here. 6/10

22. Hitler Wears Hermes 5 - 2017
Hitler 5 is more of the same from Gunn but just a little weaker. Just some ok tracks, nothing outstanding. 7/10

21. Hitler Wears Hermes - 2012
The first instalment in the Hitler Wears Hermes series. This ranks above 5 and 3 because the production and rapping are overall more solid but not by much. Still pretty decent. 7/10

20. There's God and There's Flygod, Praise Both - 2016
One of 6 projects Gunn would release in 2016 and it’s the worst of them all. The rapping is pretty decent, the beats are pretty decent, it’s a decent EP. Nothing outstanding but it exists. 7/10

19. Roses Are Red... So Is Blood (with The Pursuit) - 2016
Right behind TGATH,PB as the second weakest 2016 Gunn project. Overall it’s still pretty decent tho. Gunn doesn’t do much and his rapping is a little weak but the beats are decent enough and definitely help. 7/10

18. Flygod Is An Awesome God 2 - 2020
An overrated tape with one of my favourite Gunn songs in Jose Canseco. Drags a little despite being 35 minutes but it’s a pretty solid tape overall, 7.5/10

17. Who Made The Sunshine - 2020
To date the latest Gunn project we got. Kinda messy with so many features but it’s fairly good. 98 sabers and The Butcher and the blade are some great tracks. Another pretty solid Gunn album. 7.5/10

16. Riots On Fashion Avenue - 2017
If this was a full length album it would've been top 5 Gunn at least. Gunn works well with Mil Beats production which by itself is pretty good too. All 4 tracks plus the remixes are great but there just isn’t enough. Wish there were more. 8/10

15. Raw Is Flygod (feat. WS Pootie) - 2017
A long, multi part, EP like track. Some entertaining rapping and production. The track doesn’t let up over the 14 minutes run time. 8/10

14. Flyest Nig@@ In Charge Vol 1 - 2005
Some entertaining rapping from all 3 Grisdela members + the late MachineGun Blak. Just like Gunn said it’s “just raw Hip Hop”. S.E. Gang Freestyle and Benny and Machine Gun Black Exclusive are some great songs. This shit is CLASSIC. 8/10

13. Flygod Is Good... All The Time
A collab between Gunn and producer Mr. Green. Gunn does well on the production even though it does over power him on Brazy and the end of Stash House. Despite that Prat Deux and Trash Bag are pretty good songs. 8/10

12. Don't Get Scared Now - 2016
Solid tape from Gunn, Conway and Mach-Hommy. Some great rapping but that’s to be expected. Prodigy’s feature on Benz Window is pretty good too. 8/10

11. Hall & Nash - 2016
Some solid rapping and chemistry between Gunn and Conway leads to some great tracks. Simple formula. #Classic 8/10

If you actually read this far, thank you this actually took me time to put together. Now for the top 10
10. What Would Chinegun Do (with Benny & Conway) - 2019
Released at the very end of 2019, WWCD is so far the only collab album between all 3 current Griselda members. Some great chemistry with their typical rapping definitely made for good songs. 8/10

The Gunn project with The Cow. Other than that song the rest of the songs are pretty good. 8/10

8. Hitler Wears Hermes 7 - 2019
Doesn’t have 1 standout track like Hitler 4 but the rest are overall more solid from start to end with tracks like Lucha Bros, Undertaker vs Goldberg and Broadway Jones. 8/10

7. Griselda Ghost - 2015
A collaboration between Gunn, Conway and producer Big Ghost LTD. Some great tracks like Fendi Seats and If I Ruled The World ‘15 (remix of Nas’ song). One of his most underrated and best projects. 8.5/10

The old Gunn project that everyone loves and I’m no exception. Some of his best rapping and flows are present here. Great mixtape. 9/10

5. Pray for Paris - 2020
What a great, atmospheric project. Tyler, Joey and Freddie have amazing features and the Griselda tracks (Allah Sent Me and George Bondo) are all amazing. This shits so good but you already knew that. 9/10

4. Hitler Wears Hermes 6 - 2018
My favourite from the Hitler Wears Hermes series. The beat on Gigi’s is one of, if not my favourite beat on any Gunn track. SLY, Amherst Station 2 and N***** in Puerto Rico are also great songs. Great mixtape but not my favourite 9/10

3. Flygod Is An Awesome God - 2019
My first Gunn project and my favourite Gunn mixtape. This shit flows so well together. The skits at the end of tracks relate to the theme of the next track. The Buffalo news report on Pete Sake goes right into Amherst Station 3.

Some of my favourite production of any Gunn album (Lakers vs Rockets, Gunnlib and Sensational Sherri). Also the handing the torch type intro on the opener July 27th by Raekwon is quite nice. Amazing project from start to end. 10/10
2. Flygod - 2016.
Flygod starts well, is great in the middle and ends well. Despite it being Gunn’s longest project to date, it stays consistent all through the 58 minute run time. Some great guest features from Benny, Danny Brown, Conway and Roc Marciano just to name a few.

Flygod is definitely Gunn’s magnum opus but there is 1 project I like just a little bit more. 10/10
1. Supreme Blientele - 2018.
This project is immaculate from start to end. The haunting sample on God’s Don’t Bleed, the guitar on Spanish Jesus or the sample on SaBu. Gunn does his thing through the whole project.

Some great guest verses form Benny, Busta Rhymes, Conway, a nice feature from Anderson .Paak. The wrestling skits, the opener along with the murky, dark production keeps the album well and has it feel like his most complete project. 10/10
And that's it. Thanks for reading. One of the best discographies of the 10s. ALL THIS IS CLASSIC. #ART #CULTURE #MASTERPIECE @WESTSIDEGUNN #ICON
Here's a link to my google drive folder that has all the Gunn projects that aren't on streaming plus Flygod and Flygod is good... all the time cause they be there
