He talking about in the hood my baby. There’s no doubt Gucci was the mixtape King from 2007-till the end of 09. If you wasn’t there you wouldn’t understand.

Exactly. People who not in the hood and clubs, especially back then, don't realize artists like Gucci, Yo Gotti & Boosie may not have the mainstream aka White buyers but they were the most burned and listened to artists in the hood. That's why they still do sold out shows singing stuff from that era. They raised this current generation.

Jeezy never collaborated and switched up his style for commercial gain and acceptance. Most kids now have no clue who he is really.

Gucci kept it super hood and ignorant

nikkas was bumping Gucci hard during a period.
But it is an L to me, you have that many fans he should be on Drake level of Billboard success

What a stupid post:mjzooted:

Gucci being locked up hurt him and Drake is a pop guy who appeals to a wider demographic than Drake.

Jeezy did a lot of shyt for boosie tho and they made a hood classic together

The Inspiration was kind of a change in his style. It leaned more toward a commercial sound. "Go Getta" and "Dreamin" were a departure especially from "I Luv It".

What hurt Jeezy is those pushbacks for TM103. Another factor that is being left out is: Rick Ross. Between Jeezy's decline and Gucci becoming what he is now is Jeezy's beef with Ross. During the beef, the Def Jam machine got behind Ross. Ross had "BMF" and "MC Hammer" (which features Gucci Mane) and after those dropped, there was a shift. Everybody had to have triplet drums and rolling hi hats. Kanye and Jay had them and even had Southside and Lex Luger beats on WTT. The game became saturated with trap beats and most of those trap producers, including Lex and Southside came through Gucci Mane. Some of Mike Will's first big songs came via Ross ("2pac Back") and Mike Will came through Gucci too. Waka Flocka as a rapper, who also was Brick Squad, was in that mix too because of "Hard In Da Paint".

Jeezy did change his style up though. Remember when he hooked up with yg/mustard and doughboyz cashout? Alot of people wasnt feelin jeezy during that era but i was fukkin with it.

Plus Jeezy from many people can kind of be a bit stand-offish and never really tried to put on any young Atlanta artists (see all the people from CTE that he really gave some kind of push to are out of state). Ralo was the biggest Jeezy fan and then he met him and said he was a "fukk nikka" and then he signed to Gucci.

Yeah, I've heard that Jeezy has a reputation around the industry for being a real jerkweed.


(HA! White people slang is hilarious...)

On another note, they don't even pay homage to Pastor Troy either. He is an uncredited influence to a lot of ATL rappers. I would list Ghetto Mafia and Kilo, but a lot of these new rappers were like 5 or 6 when they were big in ATL. With Troy, he had a nice run in the '00's and you can hear him in some of Jeezy's style especially the ad libs.

It’s really interesting how unlike NYC the kids who were coming up in the 00s never had to look elsewhere for their influences. ATL had a wealth of prominent guys on the scene yet they basically said fukk them all and only acknowledge Gucci’s existence

101 was top 10 for the decade along with Trap or Die
TI had Trap Muzik and plenty of hits

Yet nobody gives a fukk lmaoooooo

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Gucci had a better personality and put people on. While Gucci was putting people on, Jeezy was with white crips that said nikka

lmaoooooo you’re funny but Gucci was right alongside V Nasty too

this is correct.

Ride through any hood in Atlanta you'll hear more Gucci than Jeezy and TI. When I used to pick up my little brother and his homeboy from their games in high school a couple years back id play old Gucci and they knew it word for word...

Jeezy had more commercial success but Gucci is the peoples champ. Cant go wrong with either one though

While Jeezy was falling off, Gucci was building his rep in the streets. His A&R game is better than JEEZY's at the end of the day.

Funny how the producers went on to do big things:

Zaytoven
Southside
Mike Will Made It
C4
Lex Luger
Metro Boomin

U can't call Gucci selfish

Gucci Mane lowered the lyrical bar to caveman level. Plus he promoted tricking on another level, which I call it "Crimes against Masculinity!"
