Gucci Mane - Lyrical Genius

Ok so i sparked up a bit of a conversation earlier on Facebook stating that "Gucci Mane is so wack it's ridiculous...and if u r a fan of his, so are you and should probably go read some books". Maybe that sounds harsh, on reflection though, i stand by every word!

This type of "artist" is exactly what is wrong with today's music and a sad reflection of the people who actually buy it. Now some of you may not have heard of him before, you are not missing out...but check the video underneath for a great example.

I don't believe in criticising without reason so stating the obvious it is, but this guy clearly has no talent. His videos would help by having subtitles, i've heard some lazy flows (see mase, loon etc) but his takes the mick. Let's just imagine now you listen closely enough to hear what he's saying. You might hear a lyrical gem like...

"Baby we okay-ay, where you want to go today? No, she not a prostitute but if she was i'd have to pay"

Add to this the fact he says his name "Gucci" so often, that's one word at least you can pick out in his songs.

I really feel that artists like Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj OJ da Juiceman etc are a cancer in hiphop and part of the reason why A) it is dying and B) it is ridiculed by people who don't know the genre too well. Also this is exactly why some young dumb people believe a viable way to make a living is to get a criminal record and start rapping...i mean damn he makes it look easy!

To try and balance out the equation I guess you could say he should get respect for earning money despite having no obvious talent....umm yea well Gucci Katie Price and the rest of that club get no respect here.
