Gucci Mane has always been my favorite rapper since I
bought his “Hard To Kill” album CD in 2006. I was in Charlotte, North Carolina visiting
a close friend and we went inside of a Target store to shop for food and
snacks. While we were shopping, I saw Gucci’s “Hard To Kill” album on sale for
the first time in my life. I was very surprised to see Gucci Mane’s album being
sold at Target, because I had thought he was an unsigned underground
rapper. I told my friends to buy the
“Hard To Kill” album and he was happy to do that for me because we both had
already heard how Gucci Mane sounded on that “So Icey” song. My friend name was
Marcus, and he was a high school football legend in the Charlotte, North
Carolina area.
For the next two days Marcus and I drove around listening to
every song on that “Hard To Kill” album. When I left North Carolina and got
back to Boca Raton, Florida I made sure that all of my friends was playing at
least one song from that “Hard To Kill” album. My favorite songs on the album
were “My Chain” and “Hold That Thought”. What I loved about the album the most
is that Gucci Mane seemed like he was having a lot of fun recording that
classic album. You could clearly hear the excitement in Gucci’s voice while
listen to each song on the “Hard To Kill” album. Gucci Mane’s voice also
sounded like one of those old school Motown singers from the 1950’s and 60’s.
I remember in 2007, when I was in my first year of
college, my college football teammates would laugh at me when I would tell them
that my favorite rapper is Gucci Mane. Then the next year Gucci Mane release
“Lemonade” and became one of the most famous and popular rappers in the world!
When Gucci Mane was sent to prison in 2013, it hurt me see that happen to him.
The last time that I went to jail and got released was in the year 2016. In the
year 2016, Gucci Mane got released from prison, after serving two years in
prison. Gucci Mane has grown and matured a lot since being released from prison
in 2016,
Since being released from prison (in 2016) Gucci Mane has stopped
using drugs every day, has been eating healthy foods every day, has been
exercising every day, has been handling great music business, married his
soulmate, and pro created children with his wife. Also since being released
from prison (in 2016) Gucci Mane has signed between 10-15 different independent
recording artist and gave them opportunities to make millions of dollars in the
music business. In my opinion, Gucci Mane has had the greatest comeback, and
motivational story in the entire history of the music business.
