Gucci Mane, Lemme Holla Atcha
B, what the eff is up? You know you fucked up, right? Being an old school cat, a true New York dude, Brooklyn to the bone, I put a lot on the line giving you a big co-sign on the Daily Math. My credibility took a major hit, my peoples now questioning my tastes in music, looking at me sideways like I stole something, or touched a lil’ kid improperly like. Still, I stand by my words. You managed to do it big potna. Arguably one of the hottest out right now. No hyperbole. You mos def deserve all the accolades you’ve worked so hard to achieve. Winning me over on shit I’m not inclined to like is no small feat.
But I’m reading how you just got knocked, got sentenced to 12 months back behind bars. On some parole violation. After you done served time. After you got off scott free for killing a man, in self defense. That’s a whole lotta news man. News that I’m not at all understanding.
How many more of us is gonna have to go down before we realize it is no types of joke out here for a Black man? Worser for those killing the game, making money, making fame. They don’t like that Radric. Never ever have. I doubt they ever will. But for some reason, I thought you knew this B. Part of the reason I give you props is that behind all the ig’nance you put on stage, I really believe that you are one smart Black man. Believed.
I know shit happens. Things start moving real fast and we lose sight of them niggling lil’ details. Believe me, I know, I had my car towed TWO effin times last week. Real talk. Slept on the couch all week on how wifey called me out on my asshole status. So yeah, I’m not judging.
But, WTF is up with parole violation? You already got that street cred on lock in my book. Alotta cats here is already looking for a reason to hate on you, booing OJ off the stage and all types of back lash against your success. How you giving Young Jeezy more ammo to fire your way, handing him shit to shit on you with? Niggas hate man, you making it easier for them. Not very hustler like Mr. Davis. Very very disappointed in you. You going back in is looking like milkshake to them haters. Making you look real bad B. Me too. Todd Moscowitz must be losing it right about now. It ain’t easy to get white to cosign you that hard either.
I’m hoping you walk from them 12 months with a lesson learned Gooch. You done made it from out the trap, from out the hood, from behind bars before. America don’t like us looking successful, looking, smelling good. I’ma still co-sign you big time. Plus I’m hearing how your upcoming album The State Vs. Radric Davis due next month is sounding kinda fires. I’m really waiting for it. The title is hella ironic though.
So I’m hollering at you on the strength of me being one of your strongest supporters here in New York. Here in Brooklyn. You still have the Daily Math co-sign, you earned it. I’m not taking that back. I don’t get down like that. You getting knocked again for bureaucratic sloppiness on your part. Not so much.
Still, I gotta give you more props on how you have the hottest Give Me Free t-shirt out. Probably the greatest one of all “Free So and So” tees of all time. Really. I might have to cop . Hopefully you and Todd are getting paid on it.
I guess I’m not gonna be seeing you rock the stage in Manhattan is not going to happen for a long time. I was looking forward to that.
From your fan and friend in New York,
Combat Jack
With Gucci and a slew of other artists ie; Boosie,Max B, Wayne, BG etc.. getting knocked for stupid shit, they don’t even need a hip-hop police. Rappers do this to themselves. They’re truly just saying fall back, we’ll let these idiots body themselves and that’s exactly what rappers are doing. Rappers love money, hoes, & clothes but really hate freedom
Sorry to hear this too as I’ve spent enough time in GA this year your co-sign happened just as I was dropping some of my BK guard. And yeah, prove me wrong, but I bet the next OJ album >>>>> next Rakim.
At least we still have Playaz Circle and for real, if the Ludacris and Shawnna collaboration is really happening it oughta be great; may I never hear fucking Rihanna, anywhere, on anything, no matter how much I love Bajan cuisine.
Also, I dunno what’s worse, a tow or coming out and see you got the boot; both suck, however, that’s for sure.
Gucci Mane is the equvialent of a human Sloth. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be, to not finish your community service to stay out of jail?
Yea i’m from Detroit and his following there is retarded. I feel for any man losing his freedom for any extended amount of time….hold your head Gucci.
“Yea i’m from Detroit and his following there is retarded” – literally lol
couldnt resist
See, people kill me with that. If it’s not your taste cool, I don’t really dig em like that either, but people be on that “aristocrat” shit like if it doesn’t meet a certain standard that people that listen to him must not have any taste…get off that, that shit is wack.
Gucci is a smart kid too, apparently, despite his fuct up diction… didn’t the dude get an academic scholarship? (Think I read that in that XXL “So far Gone” article)
Feeling that new joint “My Own Worst Enemy”, dude actually capable of some introspection. I believe I’ve been converted, lol. Free Gucci!
You gotta love the irony of the album title & current incarcaration. Dudes drop stacks for that kind of publicity/promotion.
& I’m sure those “Free Gucci” shirts were printed up before he got locked down, too. Happenstance is great when it works correctly.
It’s too bad cats don’t see how success makes them a target, especially with priors. Dudes miss out on life during lock-up, real shit. Life ain’t that long to begin with, to just be throwing away a year here & there. That shit adds up, & on the last day, dudes will be wishing they still had that time…
Damn Gucci, u effed up homie. We got u tho …. Gucci, gucci, gucci, lol!
Damn homie u done Fucked up!!! hopefully his name dont fade away while he gone.
But Yo!!
I love how you put your business out there like that.
don’t mean to laugh at you dog, but you are just hilarious with it.
gucci manes might be da worst rapper alive along wit soulja boy, wayne, and young jock. how r u a fan of mane’s combat jack? fools lyrics r horrible maybe he has some hot beats but dat dont mean shit, hip-hop def. lost its edge and people r buying into dis bubble gum hip-hop, or as i call it dees days pop-pop
You Late……Those T-shirts are relatively old….from when Gucci was locked up earlier this year…He just got out not too long ago….thats why his album title isnt ironic at all…I mean thats not why….that title wasnt ironic in the first place.
I am not a fan of his music; but it is a shame he is letting a golden opportunity slip through his fingers. Hopefully he can learn a lesson from this and become a wiser man for it.
idiot
I don’t even understand why cats even rhyme about wanting money; they clearly don’t really want it.
^ “I don’t even understand why cats even rhyme about wanting money; they clearly don’t really want it.”
Best assessment of this situation I’ve read yet.
Yo congrats to Gucci on his success. I see another artist on the horizon. “The Talented Mr. Finley” is the name if new Def Jam artist Mr. Finley’s album. I’ve heard a lot of his music and seen him a lot onIine. Did my research and dude is from Vegas… oh shit! That’s something different. His joint “She A G” is kinda nice.

This whole phenomenon of otherwise sound-minded folks co-signing this neanderthalic buffoon’s career is puzzling to me. At first, I thought it was the white hipster blogger set that driving this, but I see now that everyone is sipping the Kool-Aid. Go figure. To each, his/her own, though, so I’m not gonna get down on anybody for their ‘taste’ in music.
gucci getting locked back up is no surprise to anybody from ga. niggas like gucci never truly “make it”. the money, cars, hoes, etc. are merely mirages of what success really is. most cats down south work all week to throw it away on the weekend; meaning that everything they’re working for is for the next party. gucci is no different, his stupidy is just on a bigger playing field. when he’s grinding and putting in work on the next album he’s good. thats his week, so to speak. as soon as he’s finished with the album, its back to the bullshit. he cant help it. i swear that dumb nigga shit is a genetic trait in the ga. i know, cuz i was in that cycle myself for a yr… or two. free gucci my ass. he know he fucked up. plus, he’ll be out again and doing his “week” before u know it. GUCCI!!… nigga please
gafinest08, you speak the truth my friend
