Is Gucci Mane The Next Rap Superstar?

By Greg Romanson

A lot of people are clueless about Gucci Mane, a musician from the south. His home is in Georgia, specifically hailing from Zone Six in the eastern part of Atlanta. He has become a sensational musician in recent years. With that said, many individuals don't know how he should be viewed after they listen to some of his songs.

He uses a lot of powerful lyrics, but some of them are offensive. The reason that some are offensive is because he has seen a lot of life-changing events in the streets. Gucci Mane is a very expressive person, and really gives back to his community by offering free mixtapes available for download online.

Mixtapes like "Gucci Land" with DJ E-V, "Ice Attack" with Dutty Laundry, and "Writing On The Wall," contain many songs that his fan-base likes to play. No matter whether you are able to relate to his songs or not, you have got to acknowledge how hot he has gotten.

He was even included on MTV's 2009 "hottest emcees" in the genre of rap music. He placed number six on a very competitive list of names including Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Young Jeezy. To say that he is lacking in popularity is very inaccurate. Most of his fans are supportive because they enjoy hearing his creative lyrics and awesome instrumentals produced by his good friend Zaytoven.

Zaytoven is one of the best kept secrets in the industry. Even though he is doing quite well in the mixtape industry, he has a large collection of unreleased freestyles that could be released at any time. He is one of the few artists that do not write down their lyrics when doing a freestyle. It is really mind-boggling how talented he is when it comes to freestyling.

Radric Davis (real name of Gucci Mane) came from nothing and ended up becoming a multi-million dollar rap sensation. He has been working with bigger acts such as Mariah Carey, Mario, Sean Garrett, Big Boi, and Lil Wayne. Many people are requesting him for guest appearances on songs these days because he has fans that are considered both mainstream and underground.

There is no denying his persistence as a rap artist and influence in the south. In fact, he has developed a cult-like following in Atlanta to the extent that certain people will not listen to any artist but Gucci Mane. Whatever your personal view on him, he is undeniably motivated to take over the rap game.
