Dear Gucci…

Damn Gucci!  Why did you have to go and get locked up.  The album sounds fire.  To be honest I’ve been down since day one.  I got Traphouse, Hard To Kill, & Back To The Traphouse all in cd format.  For a creepy internet guy such as myself that’s a rarity.  I remember buying Traphouse after that “Icy” single dropped, and listening to it in my car on the way home.  I had to have listened to “That’s My Hood” on full volume a million times in my moms whip in suburban Massachusetts.  Needless to say the people in my community weren’t impressed.  That’s how I knew you were a star.  A lot of hip-hop “purists” give you shit, but f*ck them.  There is just something about you, that no one else can imitate.  I hate the word “swag”, but you have characteristics that can’t be re-created by any other artist.  Plus you have that street cred that cannot be played with.  You are who you are, and you make no apologies for it.  I can’t help but respect that.  I can relate to not being what other people in the world may want you to be.  Sometimes you just gotta do you.

Even when it comes to this Jeezy beef.  I can read between the lines.  You’re a proud man.  You want bygones to be bygones, however it’s hard to forget that the guy tried to kill you.  Plus you’re a dude from the streets.  You can’t just deal with the situation in a manner that the suits would maybe like you to.  You have a reputation to protect. At the end of the day I’m just happy for you.  You’ve come a long way, and you deserve every bit of recognition that you are getting right now.  Believe it or not you are the exemplification of the American Dream.  Congrats.

Support Gucci’s The State vs Radric Davis.  Hits stores next Tuesday.  This “Kush Is My Cologne” track is the jam.  My cologne is Sour, how about you?

Edit: I wanted to also toss this video of Gucci talking to Miss Info about his childhood.  I though it was interesting.  I don’t think Gucci gets enough credit for his intelligence.  Don’t let his heavy accent, and the ignorant content fool you.  Gucci knows whats up.
