DJ Akademiks & the chat nikkas: Gucci Mane's career peak was bigger than Young Jeezy's peak

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Gucci was mainstream as fukk in 09 breh

Nikka was on a Mariah Carey song

He doesnt know shyt about hip hop and routinely embarasses himself.

Lemonade and wasted that year went platinum and double

I think gucci's was bigger cause his street run was longer than jeezy's
Between his badboy deal with boyz n da hood and his def jam solo deal he wasnt street run wasn't as long. Instant star


But maybe it was a chicago thing cause gucci had chicago in a choke hold from like lemonade till that last time he got arrested

 

[old pig]

Man I didn’t get suspended from school for wearing my can’t ban the snowman shirt for people to be fronting on jeezy 18 years later…

 

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

Gucci's influence & music tree > Jeezy

I'm a huge Gucci fan but Jeezy was a bigger star though tbh, but that's because he had a bigger machine behind him

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Jeezy was hot for a summer...Gucci had the streets on lock from 2005 through ~2012. For those that were there, So Icy was the biggest song on the streets in summer 05, over any song off TM101.

G-Unit After Party at St. Andrew's in The D...they ran So Icy back to back like 50x that night.

Gucci had all hoods across America in a chokehold. I won’t lie I was in high school and played football and in our locker room it was Gucci, maybe some Wayne and gogo (DMV) that we played. But Jeezy’s mainstream peak>>>>

It’s simple, the whole “gen z” thing are CACS.

Gucci became popular with CACS on the internet as the drugged out trap minstrel. He was basically responsible for ushering in the trap movement online. Online =/= real life so the two can’t be compared. Jeezy was always more popular than Gucci.

Same thing happened with Chief Keef, but with drill.

Where you from tho?

Gucci was ALWAYS more popular in Chicago, Detroit, Midwest.

TM101 was bigger than any Gucci release of course, and is a an actual album over just songs thrown together like Gucci does.

Being featured on a washed up Mariah song in 09 is comparable to Jeezy’s peak?

He doesnt know shyt about hip hop and routinely embarasses himself.

Bytch literally who the fukk are you

And two songs going platinum ain’t shyt compared to peak Jeezy. Dude was dropping platinum albums, something gucci has never done. TM101 outsold every Gucci album combined.

There is no comparison.

Jeezy is a bigger artist than gucci

You said gucci was Webbie status…thats fukking moronic. We were replying to THAT.

I didn't say it was. But calling him a Boosie/Webbie level rapper is inaccurate

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Guwops influence is bigger

Gucci had a longer run but let's not act like The D wasn't Jeezy second home.Bylug.

 

[TrifeGod]

All I can say is I both equally in the streets until later years then it was 100% Wayne, Gucci, Boosie, Jeezy in that order

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

He was huge there too, but that fizzled out after his second album, and was regained later...he stopped making street anthems and tried to be Jay-Z for a while, but Gucci stayed in his lane.

 

[Duke Dixon]

Jeezy had the bigger peak as a solo artist but Gucci was around longer. Gucci also influenced more rappers.

Obsessed isn't the biggest song Gucci was on. These songs that Gucci was on are bigger.

Black Beatles with Rae Sremmurd> I Get the Bag ft Migos > Wake Up in the Sky Ft Kodak Black, Bruno Mars > Both Ft Drake > Obsessed with Mariah Carey

Soul Survivor was bigger than Gucci's solo song Lemonade. Biggest charting song that Jeezy was on was Love in This Club with Usher. The biggest selling song that Jeezy was on was My nikka with YG and Rich Homie Quan.

Jeezy's first 4 albums went Platinum. Gucci went Platinum with The State VS Radric Davis and Mr. Davis. Jeezy had a big surge with the mixtapes but Gucci cornered that market. Gucci Mane has to be in, at the least, the top 10 for most listened to mixtape artist. I remember when he'd drop a new one it seemed like every month. Gucci Mane wasn't able to capitalize on his mixtape success because he was always locked up.
