Gucci Mane x Miss Info continued: Going to jail, getting into the rap game, and Gucci’s road to success
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[12] Comments
Mikey: In this clip from Info’s in-depth sit down with the still incarcerated Gucci La Flare, we learn how getting arrested and going to jail made Gucci change his hustle to the rap game and how he rose to now be one of the hottest artists from the South. Gucci also mentions that he took his father’s nickname for his own rap moniker, and how he always used to stack the profits from his early drug dealing days. I think we also get a deeper look at another side of Gucci different from the “party party” image that is portrayed in a lot of his hits. (shouts to Shockhound)

WHEN IS HE GETTIN OUT OF JAIL?
HE NEED TO PROMOTE HIS ALBUM SERIOUSLY CAUSE HE SHOULD BE THE ONE WITH THE # 1 ALBUM TUESDAY NOT CHRIS, BUT I THINK 95K IN THE FIRST WEEK FOR GOOCH IS GREAT.

This was the best Gucci Mane interview that I have ever watched in his 5 years that I’ve known him. TS vs. RD was good and it is too bad he is not able to promote it, but he will be ok. Anyone who hasn’t listened to it yet, just listen to “Volume” feat Wooh Da Kid, you will like it. For those saying he didn’t sell enough first week out, shit he doubled his fan base this go round. If he keeps doing that he will be very successful at this rap game.

This is the Gucci not enough hip-hop fans know about. Not the drug dealing part, but just how he’s very open about his life and you can see as more and more of these interview clips get released, he has a magnetic personality. The man is no dummy (outside of his ability to stay out of jail). I’m hoping dude finally gets it together because he should still have a buzz when getting out again. This album has some hits, no question.
Info: Thanks again for blessing us with this interview.

WOW im so shocked at the postive comments , cause people always hate on him and his buzz will only get bigger since he deaded the beef w/ jeezy plus his album is filled with HITS, this man has matured and is ready for success

yeah I can only agree, here Gucci Mane comes across as intelligent and well-spoken (which should come as no surprise to anyone who’s actually paid attention to his raps, the man clearly loves words) even though it IS quite hard to hear what the fuck he says sometimes, plus the thick accent doesn’t help if ure not an ATL native.
Props to u Miss Info for being the first journalist ever (or so it seems anyway) to ask the man some interesting questions and give him the TIME and elbow-room to respond comfortably. U get shit from a proper sit-down that u dont get from the typical made-for-dvd-but-went-str8-to-youtube “yo so whats up with the album and Young Jeezy”-type shit.
I’d like to see more interviews like this w Gucci, I wanna hear him talk in depth like this about the actual music as well (writing process, influences, his work-ethic etc etc)
I think u might have changed some peoples perception of Gucci Mane with this Miss Info, and thats some good work right there!
