In what way has Gucci surpassed TI, Ross & Jeezy as a GOAT?
If anything he might had outlasted them but Gucci at no point was better than those 3. I like Gucci's music but going to prison for those 3 years might had been the best thing to happen to him because before that he was ice cold dropping mixtapes that only die hard fans checked for.
That blind support from white hipsters also helped him.
Now there's no denying his impact on Atlanta of discovering hot talent that went on to became stars. Gucci is a better A&R than he is rapper and should be at the level with the Jay Z's, Birdmans etc but he's not.
Like i said I like his music and he is most def a legend but musically I think he"s behind those guys.
