Would You Allow Your Child To Get Wisdom From Gucci Mane In School? *updated* Shawty Lo too!!

[Shizlansky]

What can he possibly say to my son that I can't.

 

[kzzl]

they couldn't find a writer or anyone else to come and speak to a language arts class?

who do u think kids gonna listen 2... A random ass nigga sayin "stay n school" or Gucci sayin " stay n school... Go 2 college... I did both and became sucessful wit my hard and determination"???

Lol at the bolded statement. Dude was kicked out of college for slanging, correct? Oh, he had that "hard" and determination alright.

Did that nigga even bother to go back once he got rich? The answer could tell them kids how much he truly values education.

Being a teenager and a young one at that, I thought rappers were stupid, but a lot of kids look up to them like they were the truth. That shit is scary as hell, that music has that much power over someone. So I voted "No" on Gucci Mane coming to career day. I ain't seen one rapper leave columbus, oh and we have a ton of them around. We have some that made a good living as underground rappers but no mainstream. That's a terrible existence for someone who doesn't have much skill but a lot of dedication to being a successful rapper who only has a 2 to 3 year career, because truth be told most rappers who do reach that level.

I can see if he says stay in school and yadda yadda yadda, but the kids are going to be thinking about how he made it than doing what he is telling them NOT TO DO.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

I'd rather someone who portrays a great positive media image

like Kobe Bryant

Where did Kobe come from?

 

[Stew]

all rapper rap bout fuckin, murder, and dope.... so I aint picking and choosin like that on a moral glass house. If dude was there speaking positivley to those kids and he was asked to do it then more power to him

U should prolly broaden your horizons on who you listen to bruh cause that in fact isnt true.

please name me a rapper who doesnt rap about any of those 3....

Luda

Outkast

Killer Mike

I GOT HOES 2. I shoulda added dope to the list Outkast rapped bout weed and pussy.... Killa Mike rapped about trap shit too after he fell out with Big Boi... Gucci got the dumb face tat which is why a lot of folk bash him but all rappers rap bout shit we wouldnt want lil kids doing.

Nigga this aint about just rap. Its about the person he's portrayed to be in the media who talks about his occupation/life.

And the tattoo on his face to middle schoolers lol

whatever... ignorance is ignorance quit playin favorites.... stew u name me a rapper who would be suitable for what Gucci did?

In Atlanta it would be Outkast

 

[damobb2deep]

I'd rather someone who portrays a great positive media image

In other words u want a nigga 2 be fake....

This is what I gather from da i.c... Yall are washed n thinking that sucess looks only a few ways.... If u get there in any other way u get "pissed" and/or "assume" that person has nothing 2 contribute...

 

[Meta_Conscious]

This is more about his self destructive and obscene behavior/persona than his so called success as a minstrel...

as long as the rapper "confortable" why should it matter if they mainstream or not... If they doin what they love?

Aint dat what's "wrong" wit hip hop? Niggas "selling out?"

Some of y'all in here equating music/street smart intelligence with every day book smart intelligence. Just because gucci made money in the music industry doesn't mean he's smart. 99.9% of the kids in that school won't make money the way gucci does. Fact is more minority doctors/lawyers/etc. should show up to these career days. I don't care if it's gucci or nas, minority kids should know that it's a lot more realistic for them to be dr. so and so than a rapper, athlete etc.

 

[700]

id let gucci teach my children for 20 minutes

fuck it, why not

gucci isnt dumb. he hood but not dumb. He went to college... I feel u on the rest but at the end of the day Gucci is a success story who can provide kids with insight as well as warn them of the mistakes he made "murder and going to jail"

I'm not saying he was, I'm not even saying he wasn't giving good advice. Thats why I said I don't care whether it's gucci or nas. I was just getting at the fact that I would rather kids not put all their hopes into making it as a rapper/athlete and even though it's not his fault seeing niggas like Gucci at shit like career day just feeds into that...
