Itās said that art mirrors life. In hip-hopās case, thereās always been a deliberate entanglement of perception and reality. Fans demand their MCs be realā¦but never too real. Successful hip-hop is about the hint of the danger, the tease of it, the mystique. Hip-hop is about balance.
Gucci Mane is an artist striving for that balance, volatility versus musicality. Controversy, including a feud with former collaborator Young Jeezy, has grabbed the headlines, with insufficient regard paid to his considerable mic skills, raw talent, and business acumen. Gucci is looking to wrest his name from public speculation and let his own words do the talking.
āI wish everybody well whoās making money in this rap game,ā the Atlanta-raised rapper says, dismissing the controversy that followed him in the past. āMy own rap game is going so good, Iāve got so many things on my plate at my label, that I donāt got time for other peopleās business.ā With a deal with Asylum Records as the boss of his own label, So Icey Entertainment, Gucci does indeed have a full schedule with no time to dwell on the past.
āI live my life with no regrets. I just wish that a lot of things never happened, but anybody can wish,ā says Gucci. Sounds like a man with his eyes on the prize. And youād expect nothing less from an artist who ground his way to the top via the hustle of independent records. Signing to Big Cat Records in the wake of his local single āBlack Tee,ā he dropped his debut record, Trap House, in May 2005. The independent album moved an impressive 140,000 units, largely on the strength of the āIcyā single, featuring Jeezy. Clamor over song rights sparked dispute, and the resulting rift grew.
Controversy notwithstanding, Maneās independence was cemented: āI was on the independent scene for about two years,ā he recalls. āItās crazy! You gotta go into your own pocket to support your craft. You need other avenues to have money coming in, to support your stuff. You might win, you might lose, and itās a gamble out there with the independent circuit. One thing youād better have is good music because without that, you go downhill fast in the independent game.ā
Good music firmly in hand, Gucci was fast approaching stardom when more tragedy befell him. But letās backtrack; how did the man born Radric Davis in Bessemer, Alabama, become Gucci Mane, mouthpiece for Atlanta stuntinā? Mane remembers little from his time in Alabama, just that it was rural, and that itās changed dramatically since he left at the age of nine. āI gotta shout out Alabama though, because they holdinā it down,ā he affirms. āEvery time I go there to do a show, Iām impressed with how hip-hop culture has taken root.ā
Maneās identity coalesced when he moved with his mother to Atlanta. āI lived all of my adolescent and adult life in Atlanta,ā he explains. āIām from East Atlanta Zone Six; it was hard, man, it was real rough. I grew up in the Starter jacket era: theyād take your Starter jacket, your 8Ball jacket, theyād take your hat, your shoes. It was just no holds barred on the streets, dog eat dog. If you missed the bus, you had to be crewed up or youād get jumped. It was wild when I came up.ā
Itās a bleak portrait. When asked to describe his home life more vividly, Mane offers a look into his contemplative side, a side honed as a schoolyard poet. āI was just a young dude in a single parent house most of my life. I canāt complain that much. I would guess itās like any black child growing up in a single parent household. There are a lot of people who know how that is. I didnāt have a lot coming up; but what I did have, I appreciated. I was blessed to have a caring mother to raise me right and to help me with my business ventures; sheās been there through the whole struggle. Thereās a lot that goes along with that; it made me who I am today.ā
A stepfather would enter the picture during Maneās adolescence, introducing not only a male figure, but also inspiration for Maneās unusual moniker. āMy father came in, the original Gucci Mane; thatās what people in the neighborhood called him, and thatās where I get my name from. From then on, I grew up the son of a hustler and a schoolteacher; it was the best of both worlds because I was educated twice.ā Drawing inspiration from a pantheon of rappers before him āBig Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, the Beastie Boys, N.W.AāMane went on to release Trap House, a lethal brew of his signature sound: āI call my music straight Gucci: going hard and whatever beats you make you for me, if Iām feeling it, if Iām rocking with it, Iām gonna crush it. When you hear me, you hear a lot of pain, a lot of hood; you hear whatās going on in the inner city in Atlanta.ā
Unfortunately, Trap House was ill timed; the month of its release, Gucci was accused of murder and jailed for two days. Eventually deemed to be acting in self-defense, and without sufficient evidence to hold him, Mane was exonerated. But the ordeal left an indelible imprint on the man. āI learned to keep better company, watch where I go, and be mindful of my surroundings at all times,ā he reveals. āWatch what I say, watch what I do and how I do it, just keep myself out of the wrong crowd.ā
āI always stand up man,ā he continues. āIām one of the toughest guys I know. Itāll take a lot more than that to break me down.ā Undeterred, Mane was back in the studio, preparing 2006ās eerily apropos Hard To Kill. The buzz from Hard To Kill vaulted Gucci Mane from regional commodity to national treasure, and major labels responded accordingly: āThere was a bidding war going on, and I liked Atlanticās approach. They made it known that they wanted me, they felt where I was going and that I could grow with them.ā
Asylum/Atlantic Records welcomed Gucci Mane in early ā07, granting him his own imprint, So Icey Entertainment. With it comes an entire stable of artists, the So Icey Boyz. As the Boyz ready for their own exposure āāI got them in training; they be in the weight room, pumping iron, doing pushups, shopping at the mall, buying iceāāGucci is focused on his magnum opus, Back to the Trap House. āI started working on the album, and by the third song, I was like āThis is going back to the Trap House.ā I started feeling the same way I did when I made my first album. It had the same feel to it, the same freshness. And I had the same hunger and desire I had when I first started rapping.ā
āSince I went major, I want everybody to know Iām still keeping it street, keeping it hood,ā Gucci maintains. āIām trying to take it back to all my fans that I had when I first started my career. And at the same time, Iām trying to open up my new album to a new fan base. So itās a mix for everybody coming together, like my first album was.ā Gucci has always prided himself on his innate ability, and his refusal to let guest appearances dictate the tone of his records. āI just want people to know Iām a great songwriter, man,ā he asserts. āIām passionate about what I do, and itās choreographed strategically when I do it. I bring a lot of experience, creative wordplay, and a crazy style. And my albums, I record most of the songs without writing them down; itās a God-given gift and I just get paid for it. It come from God, itās like wondering what makes a bird fly. He made me a poet like the great poets of the past.ā
But donāt mistake Gucciās confidence for self-absorption. The vicissitudes of his career have dictated a longer view. Lyrics aside, heās less preoccupied with visible means and more so with acting as an emissary from his under-repped block. āIām not the one to glorify what goes on in the hood,ā he insists. āWe have everything there, the whole range from violence to people getting on the bus and going to work. Thereās a lot more to the hood than just drugs. Itās a bigger story, thereās a big picture. I went to school in that neighborhood, I worked there, I trapped there, I hustled there, and I got my name there. Iām proud to be from East Atlanta Zone Six, and I claim there. I hold that on my back and carry that, to be the first one from there to really rock.ā
And Gucciās professional aims have matured as well. While other rappers stress platinum plaques, Gucci hasnāt forgotten the route he took to stardom. āI made a lot of CDs on my own. People fucked with me and supported me, and just made me the man I am today. Thatās my blueprint right there, and I stay mindful of it. So now, my only concern is that people feel my music; at the end of the day, I do it for people to feel it. If one person feel it, two people feel it, I feel like my jobās been done.ā
Fortunately for Gucci, he should be prepared to welcome an army of new fans with Back to the Trap House. But longstanding fans shouldnāt fear; theyāll recognize āFreaky Gurl,ā reprised from its previous appearance from Hard To Kill. Luda, upon hearing the joint, asked for a guest spot on the remix. Said remix now appears as the lead single on Back to the Trap House, following in Gucciās theme of mating old and new. Over a bouncing, meandering beat from Cyber Sapp, the two cook up the requisite concoction of whips, chips, and chicks. Also look out for āBird Flu,ā the albumās number two single, laced by New-York based Supa Sonics. Elsewhere, firm guest verses from Rich Boy and Pimp C of UGK round out Gucciās regional flavor, while Bay-area producer Zaytoven (of āIcyā renown) locks down Gucciās West Coast appeal.
Gucci Mane has something for everyone, and with the struggles of the past in his rearview, Gucci is settled in for his ride to the top. āIām best known for controversy but Iām trying to gain respect as a songwriter and entertainer. I plan to hit them so hard with this album; who knows what the future will bring. Iāll be banging them out till I canāt bang no more.ā

The song "Freaky Girl" by Gucci Mane (Feat. Wiz Khalifa) is a celebration of sexual liberation and indulgence. The lyrics describe a woman who is unapologetically sexually adventurous. Gucci Mane and Wiz Khalifa both express their admiration for her in a brazen and upfront way. The song highlights the importance of getting to know someone intimately before getting involved with them, especially if they have a sexual reputation like the titular freaky girl. They also make it clear that they are not interested in long-term commitments.
The lyrics, while controversial, speak to the freedom that comes with embracing one's sexuality and not caring about societal norms regarding sexual behavior. Gucci Mane and Wiz Khalifa are clearly unafraid of being judged and share their perspective on how to pursue sexual encounters in a confident, non-judgmental way. The chorus in particular, which repeats the phrase "she's a very freaky girl, don't bring her to mama," is an expression of this attitude and features the kind of blunt and straightforward language that characterizes the entire song.
