Gucci Mane Balances 'Hood, Mainstream To Be #6 Hottest MC In The Game!
"The Atlanta native will never get spoken about in the conversation of great wordsmiths, like a Royce Da 5'9" or a Jadakiss. His subject matter is great, but his wordplay is sometimes criticized for being elementary. So if it isn't his rhyme schemes that have been winning him new fans and accolades and keeping his core satisfied, what is it? Simply put, Gucci is a character. Gaudy jewelry, his own humorous slang such as "burrr" — you may not be able to tell by his shy demeanor in interviews, but the ATL native has a lot of personality on the mic, with his muddy Southern drawl. Also, to put it bluntly, Gucc is extra believable in the eyes of fans. They a see a person who has overcome murder and drug charges to still make it to stardom. They just don't relate to his raps; they see themselves in his music."
Co-Signer: Mariah Carey: "He's real. He's one of the realest people I ever met," Carey told MTV News about Gucci. "He's nice. He's cool. He's talented. We got together, I listened to his music. There's something that reminds me of the moment when I first met ODB. It's like when you're working with somebody that really contrasts you in a good way. I had a great time. This is really gonna be something I'm gonna remember for a long time. It was amazing."
