Too many outside issues, between legal troubles, tension with label mates, having a more popular/successful love interest, a permenent issue with an artist higher up then him, plus the social media backlash. He won't disappear but philly never seems to have a star street dude make it.
I guess northerners will hate, but honest being from the south I've seen gucci's reach on hip hop and rap music in general. He has had his own hit singles and club bangers. He has had a hand in the careers of nicki, waka, rich homie, thugga, and migos. And as far as that trap, gangsta rap ish...

I find it very hard to believe a man known for his use of sizzurp and one seemingly educated on the drug game could fall victim to these things shortly after Being set free.
Add that to his very vocal approach to saying some very damning things about some very important ppl in the industry, it...
Dr Dre is overrated
Eazy E is one of the most influential ppl in hip hop
Pimp C was murdered
Nelly repped his city the best
Chris Brown prolly kick your fav rapper ass in a fair one
Overall jay>Wayne, with that stated jayz didn't own 00-03 like Wayne owned 06-09, jay caught ether during his reign and 50 owned NY 02-03. Wayne won his timeframe by a landslide, dude was everywhere on everything, everybody wanted a wheezy feat. Plus. Nobody ever jack beats like Wayne. All...

Flo rida music is garb, he took the pop route, ran so far from the streets he can't come back! Make white teenage rap get paid ok, but no critical acclaim, he made his bed, now he can lay in it.
Cut was dope, but Gucci kilt w/ the truth, Gucci took it somewhere jeezy couldn't come back from, jeezy from Macon, ga anyway. Jeezy wanted to make jokes, Gucci more the type to steal off.
Tha mobb set it off, c2 by a landslide that's when u realized Wayne was a man and stepped to the front. Plus dedication 2 dropped close together Wayne was winning.
Sales matters when we talking nicki, she is a sales driven artist, she been on every media market promoting, she has a machine behind her and a gimmick for a persona. She clearly releases music with the hope for mass sales, that's why 200k is a flop b/c her whole drive as an artist is money and...
