Do you remember two years when the radio was being dominated by Lil Wayne? Every time you turned on the television there was Lil Wayne, every new up and coming artist had a feature from Lil Wayne…well now the cycle continues, except now it’s with a less talented artist in Gucci Mane. For the past two months, I’ve been avoiding the fact that Gucci Mane’s music has been popping up everywhere, but now it has come to the point where people are labeling this guy as great rapper, and so the madness begins. Is it me or am I the only one on planet earth that thinks Gucci Mane is a horrible rapper?
Gucci Mane has been on the national radar since ’05 with his song “So Icy” (featuring Young Jeezy), then he made more headlines when he got arrested for killing someone, but his music has never made a profound impact until recently. Now all media outlets are bumping Gucci, and for what reason? I’ve tried giving this man’s music a fair shot, and I couldn’t make it past one verse on any of his songs. He has never said any significant, his rap style is unoriginal, and voice is more unbearable than Magoo’s. (The dude with the high pitch voice that use to rock with Timbaland). Yet and still Gucci is the most popular dude in Hip-Hop today.
In fact Gucci is so popular that even Mariah Carey, the pop artist that she is put Gucci Mane on her on a record. He is also making noise with Mario’s new song “Breakup”, but I ask the question where is the talent in this guy? The sole problem that I have as that we are taking a steps back by continuing to allow talentless people gain notoriety, when there are more deserving artists that have actualy earned a chance to shine. And I use to think that Gucci’s popularity was only a down south and Midwest thing, but I was fooled. I went down to California for 2 weeks, and Gucci Mane was playing out of everyone’s trunk…and the radio seemed to love Gucci Mane as well. I will admit that I do have a guilty pleasure whenever I ever "Freaky Girl" but thats because I enjoy the song in the club... I got into a discussion with someone not too long, and all he kept saying was, “Gucci Mane is the Truth”…I okay I responded by asking, What makes Gucci so great? His reply, “cuz he just dope, and his music is timeless!”
I clearly ended that conversation once that was said, but my point is that Gucci is on the come up for no good reason. It could be best that I am so dumb that I just don't understand the hype around this man, or it could be that I am the only smart person in the world, I think I will take the latter! Please America no more Gucci Mane....I'm begging you!

i'm personally a gucci mane fan. i have been since about 07. i'm not going to sit here and say gucci is talented because i don't think he is. i know real talent when i hear it. i listen to gucci for comedic value. dude is funny to me. simple as that. sometimes i don't want to think really deep when i'm listening to music and when i'm in one of those moods i turn my iPod to gucci, oj or yo gotti.
I am not a Gucci Mane fan persay but I have to give him credit for his drive. I don't find him to be all that 'satisfying' but I will admit to loving both 'Freaky Girl' and that new Mario joint. He FIT both songs very well. Is his music 'timeless'? I dunno about all of that. I can take him or leave him.
I want Gucci to be put on a boat, shipped to the middle of an ocean, and left there. Permanently. I'm sorry, but he's trash. And I can appreciate a good club song as much as anyone else (I love Jeezy. Yes, I'll admit that), but I don't understand why "club music" is allowed to be THIS sub-par. It's not entertaining on any level to me. I'm with my blog partner. Gucci needs to go away. Now.
I personally Don't like Gucci and don't understand what people see in his music. Everybody keeps telling me hot all of his music is and I just don't get it. I've tried to give him a chance and e has some catchy songs but thats it. I completely agree and wish Gucci would go away. Atleast for a couple years.
