I'd hazard a guess that this is the kind of take that's making street dudes say they hate when non-street dudes speak on street stuff.
From what I've seen, what street dudes are saying is that contrary to popular belief - street dudes take a lot of L's and it's all part of the game. It's part of being a "street nikka", and staying solid is the anchoring motif throughout Gucci's career and character. Gucci should have taken his L and kept it pushing. They're not saying they expected him to slide. Some say if it was them they would slide, some say nah, they woulda just taken the L and charge it to the game. Ultimately, Pooh Shiesty would have still been signed to Gucci and the statements would have come from the off-duty security guards etc. Gucci could have refused to give a statement etc. All of this by the way, seems consistent with Gucci's own preachings and teachings.
Seems like the whole "
so yall wanted Gucci to endanger himself and his freedom to adhere to a code?" thing is a thing being pushed by non-street dudes to move goalposts
