    Like & respect aren't intertwined


    you can say you don't like him or his music & still show respect



    all that extra ? is hatred, like callin him slow/?



    I mean, how many slow/? mf you know that started a business & made millions?


    if you think he is, what that make you? Lol

    Exactly! ? straight hating. Lot of you haters just came in the thread and said "no, Gucci trash" and just dipped out. Didn't even address the op. And no one still hasn't refuted the evidence in the op.

    I was going to originally post some tracks and lines for more evidence but was just too lazy. Glad that others have picked up the slack. Might as well gon' head and post this, you can tell that he has some rap skills that aren't manufactured by execs, ghostwriters, managers, public relations, etc.:

    And the breakfast club interview, which was actually enlightening:

    If trap music ain't hip hop, then Gucci Mane ain't hip hop

Too lame to understand and To get it and to realize they behavior just adds to the lameness. What I care about somebody I dont like? They got stronger feelings about it than I do...and I fck with Gucci music. Guess Gucci done did big sht

    Being ts, I might as well. In no order, my top five based on influence, skill, style, sales, etc.: Outkast, Ice Cube, Scarface, Nas, and Jay Z.

    I don't know where Gucci would be. Probably as high as Top30 and as low as Top50. Btw, I'm NOT saying Gucci should be in anyone's top 5.

    Cool, but there are always stans that will take ? to heart when you call their favorite rapper, movie, book, etc. garbage. That's just part of the game. Not all Gucci fans are like that. If anything, some of are just mad at the disrespect and/or ignorance towards Southern rap.

    Call him wack, that's fine. Say that he isn't a legend, musically, tha'ts cool. Like I said, different strokes, different folks.

    However, as it has been repeatedly pointed out already (and still, no one has refuted this), I would argue that he at least deserves respect for some of the ? that he has done as far as the rap game is concerned.

    Even lyrically you gotta respect Gucci Mane for dropping one of the most ruthless diss records since Ether.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ycXuQjwag4

    He killed the ? ...went on record and ? on the guy he killed for being a failed robber and Jeezy for not knowing how to hire the right hitters

    And then went to Jeezy's hometown just to perform that song. Gucci crazy

    I've heard of Ethering someone to the point of oblivion. But as I said a few months back, this was pure "I don't give a ? " Respeck to Gucci

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxOME_BZdBk

    Startin off my day with a blunt of purp
    No Pancakes just a cup of syrup
    Baking soda pots with a silver spork
    You already know it's time to go to work
    I'm back off in the kitchen working with a chicken
    You get 63 grams for like 1250
    50 pounds of purp 50 pounds of midget
    And soon as its gone I sell another 60
    My baby need some shoes my auntie need a purse
    Summer coming real soon so I need a vert
    So I hop up out that van with a duffle bag
    And if a ? try me I'ma buss his ass!

    I'm counting up money in my living room
    Birds everywhere I call it the chicken room
    Pills in the cabinet ,pounds in the den
    Attic full of guns basement full of benjamins
    2 AK 47's and a blow torch
    Couple junkies knocking hard on my front porch
    A couple old schools in my back yard
    If i don't know you Ima serve you through my burglar bars

    Gucci back ? ...yeah I'm back ?
    Did you miss me...or miss my raps ? ?
    This that new ? that county jail ?
    That 7th flo rice street fresh outta cell ?
    You on my ? list
    I'm on the Forbes list
    I'm a rich ? so I need a rich ?

    I got a sick wrist, it cost bout 6 bricks.
    I'm on that slick ? that zone 6 ?


    They played this ? @ a bar I was @ last night.

    Airbody knew the lyrics word 4 word. Classic ? right there!

    hip hop purists hate Gucci but don't realize Gucci and his hustle is the epitome of the culture.

    ? need to get off their high horse. The 90's are never coming back. Evolve.

    LOL @ Gucci being evolution... yes, Rosetta Stone indeed lololol
