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.

His vocabulary is fairly vulgar and he is not afraid to express himself on the microphone. The reason that this artist has become especially popular is not really due to mainstream success, rather, it is due to his ability to relate to the streets and provide them with good music. He releases new mixtapes more than any other artist in the industry.

Several of his mixtapes including "The Burrprint 3-D: The Movie," "Bird Money," and "The Movie: Part 2" have been considered classics by most people that listen to Gucci on a consistent basis. Although taste in music is subjective, most people cannot deny how popular Gucci Mane has become as an artist.

Gucci Mane was even noted on the "hottest hip hop artists" list that was created by MTV. Even though he was listed at number six on the list, he was up against a lot of other great artists like Raekwon, Jay-Z, and KiD CuDi. It is impossible to disprove this man's popularity. The reason that many of his fans like his music is because he gets crazy beats from his producer nicknamed "Zay."

His in-house producer Zaytiggy is easily one of the most influential producers in the rap industry. Having good production has helped get him increase his popularity in the mixtape scene. Gucci also has tons of great freestyles that can be seen online for his fans. Many people consider watching Gucci rap a freestyle to be a lot of fun.

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.
