letz talk abt gucci mane

really liking the handful of leaks i have - had been fearing after "spotlight" that it'd be a bit of a mess but "stupid wild", "heavy" and "gingerbread man" are exactly what i want from a hyped-up gucci mane major label effort

http://www.ozonemag.com/2009/11/30/scam-afta-scam/

this article is some holy-shit reading

dude's career is in chaos ... on like every level

tl;dr but can i say how much i hate the phrase 'modern slavery' when there is still old fashioned slavery happening e'ery day and this is just people defrauding folks pretending someone is going to show up for something when they don't?

i think it makes sense in this context -- hes working & his management is stealing his money & ruining his name.

& seriously, the article is long but its also pretty riveting stuff.

also not perfectly journalistic -- she doesnt ask them for comment & it also includes the phrase "According to wikipedia,"

oh ok, i only skimmed the article when it made it seem like they were booking shows, taking the deposit when gucci weren't turning up (due to rehab or whatever) and burying the legality of it

'them' being the ppl it targets -- it hurts its credibility

that said i find it pretty believable

that is part of what they're doing -- u get the impression that his drug problems are basically about his management stealing huge amounts of $$ and not caring about the artist at all

drug->jail problems i mean ... they're basically scamming everyone, the artist, the promoters, intermediary companies

Almost a year after sending their initial deposit, the show finally happened in May 2009 and 5,000 people showed up. According to Godfather, it was the biggest show Gucci Mane has ever done (right) [as the headliner] to this day. Mosley says there was plenty of bad blood in the city from his previous no-show. “People were threatening [Gucci’s] life,” he recalls. “The things we went through even getting him into [Chicago] and on stage alive were ridiculous.” The promoters were able to recoup their previous losses (and, one would assume, turned a hefty profit).

this show was like 3 blocks from my house & i missed it :-/

oj's verse on gingerbread man pretty dope

classical!!!

ffs

Legendary Philadelphia DJ Diplo has announced that he will remix Gucci Mane’s acclaimed Cold War mixtape series. The Grammy nominated producer and songwriter (M.I.A’s “Paper Planes,” 2008) signed on for the project to support the Decemburrrr 8th release of Gucci Mane’s The State Vs. Radric Davis in light of the rapper’s recent legal woes. The remix album will incorporate Diplo’s unique fusion of electronic, hip-hop, reggae and Brazilian carioca inspirations.

“Gucci Mane is an underdog, and a divisive artist,” says Diplo. “I thought it would be cool to have a bunch of kids and weirdos do some mixes of his songs, we all are fans and we are from different scenes. Gucci is a rapper that doesn’t try and be anything he is not, he’s straight up. Maybe it’s ironic and all, but I’m just a fan and have been since day one. Gucci Mane is the cool uncle I never had even though I’m pretty sure I am older than him.”

Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in Fulton County Jail on November 12, 2009 for violating his probation conditions. The courts have informed the rapper that he may be eligible for release in 6 months or less. Gucci’s 1017 Brick Squad label will team up with Diplo’s label, Mad Decent, to release a “Free Gucci” t-shirt in promotion of the remix album.

Despite his incarceration, Gucci Mane will continue with his first major release led by the singles “Wasted” featuring Plies and “Spotlight” featuring Usher. The 20-track LP will feature a slew of cameos from the likes of Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Keyshia Cole, Rick Ross, Cam’ron, Trina and So Icey family Nicki Minaj and OJ Da Juiceman amongst others. Polow Da Don, Bangladesh, Jazze Pha, Mannie Fresh, Scott Storch, Drumma Boi and long-time associate Zaytoven also contribute their production talents to this pinnacle album in the Atlanta-rapper’s career.
