yeah idk -- i think generally the ability to put out dope music trumps all -- no one cared about what jaz had to say about jay

and i really do feel like the way that the writer tries to illustrate an aura of violence that surrounds gucci is really outdated -- i think some of the examples he uses are a real stretch i.e. citing the waka flocka shooting & the pool stick incident happened in like 2006 -- i think everyone knows that gucci keeps getting locked up cuz he can't stay sober, not because he's some violent loose cannon always running into trouble on the streets of atlanta

To watch Gucci's rise within the rap ranks as an artist to be taken seriously as well as his embrace by the wider, whiter audience, which often seems to look at Gucci with an ironic eye, is to be reminded of the real, ongoing problems with gangsta rap as a form, especially in the hands of an artist seemingly interested in exploring little more than the limits of his creativity and his accent.
yeesh

lmao @ 'little more than the limits of his creativity'

cant he just look outside the box of his own creativity, is that so much to ask

it reminds me of the BET best rappers of the decade show where they chose 15 major label rappers incl fabolous, drake, eve, t.i. etc and tried to rate them in part by "social consciousness"

the famous social consciousness of fabolous

Turns out Narcotics Anonymous isn’t so anonymous after all. An NA attendee tells OZONE that their regularly scheduled meeting last night was interrupted by a nearly hour-long standoff outside the facility at Riverwoods Psychiatric Center in Riverdale, GA (on the south side of Atlanta). Reportedly, members of Gucci Mane’s entourage – including his manager and lawyer – pleaded with the rapper to get help, causing quite a scene outside the hospital. His lawyer constantly reminded him that rehabilitation was the only alternative to facing more jail time and ultimately Gucci relented, turning himself in for a 28-day program around 8 PM on October 14th.
Previously, OZONE reported on at least four lawsuits Gucci and his former management (Deb Antney) and former booking agent (Johnnie Cabbell) were facing for missed concert appearances. After his release from prison earlier this year he brought on new management and did make a few shows, but in recent weeks, his erratic behavior seems to have returned.
In mid-September, Gucci failed to appear at an advertised performance at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach, Florida. The promoter told patrons, “Gucci failed a pee test for drugs. He’s stuck in Atlanta and can’t make the show,” but refused to refund tickets. This past Saturday, he was the sole headliner for Cheyney University’s homecoming concert. Cheyney is the nation’s oldest historically black college/university (HBCU). Gucci failed to appear for the show and, according to sources familiar with the show booking, the show deposit has yet to be returned.
(UPDATE: Gucci was also a no-show at today’s Michigan State University homecoming concert in East Lansing, MI)
Gucci’s label reps and publicist did not respond to requests for comment. Although OZONE’s relationship with Gucci Mane has been tumultuous at times, we wish him the best in his quest for sobriety and hope that he will be able to put this behind him and get his business straight to continue building his career.

it should be noted that "beat it up" ft trey songz -- a joint that is like a year & half old or something & is not on any album & doesn't even have a video -- is currently doing better at radio than either "gucci time" or "making love to the money"

i guess when he gets out people will not really care anymore. feel like he was being unduly ignored this year relative to the hype built up last year. say what you will about career momentum, gucci time, or the album, both tapes contain some of his best music ever, he obv has not peaked yet

This time he is charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light or stop sign, damage to government property, obstruction, no license, no proof of insurance and other traffic charges, according to APD spokesman Curtis Davenport.
Officers who arrested Mane, who is also known as Radric Davis, Tuesday reportedly had to use pepper spray to subdue him. He was taken first to Grady Memorial Hospital to be checked before he can be transported to the Fulton County Jail.
