World Premiere: Gucci Mane “My Own Worst Enemy” and why he hopes Young Jeezy will hear him out (Update: Gucci in jail)
Posted by Miss Info under Beef , Exclusives , New Music , Quotes , Relationships and Family , Videos[102] Comments
It’s been a hotly debated topic in the comments section every time we’ve had a Gucci Mane-related post, drawing lines in the sand between fans claiming regional prefs, or fans fighting about the merits of high-brow vs low-brow raps, or even the Team Jeezy fans vs. the Team Gucci splits. But one thing that keeps coming up again and again is the recognition of this widespread Gucci-Mania that has gone from “the Trap,” to pop radio to indie hipster to music-tv takeover, and more.
Well I got to see what the mania was all about when I was down in Atlanta….Gucci has very limited free time, but in between shooting multiple videos, eating lunch at the scripclub (lol), dropping 3 mixtapes at once, and holding court with his rabid fans, Gucci took me to the very housing complex where he grew up and admittedly screwed up in Zone 6/East Atlanta….to chat about many things (his history with T.I., being blacklisted in ATL, his childhood,etc). But in this clip, we talked about the song that surprised me the most.
Far from a diss song, is “My Own Worst Enemy” an “at-peace” song?
New Music: Gucci Mane “My Own Worst Enemy” (CDQ) (Produced by Drumma Boy)
[audio:My Own Worst Enemy.mp3](as Eskay says, this is an NMC+1 world premiere ; ) (thanks to director/producers Kareem Johnson and Tory Edwards)
UPDATE: Just about an hour ago, a judge sentenced Gucci Mane to 12 months in Fulton County jail for probation violations. He was then taken into custody. He will most likely to do 6 months at minimum. (BET’s Carl Chery just posted this report)
After the jump….Meka/2DopeBoyz produced this Digiwaxx sit-down with Gucci’s labelmate and buddy, OJ da Juuman

this reminds me of the biggie interview on rap city before he was murked. God forbid.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
lol wow youre fast!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
hmmm, s–t i never thought about that. but that was at a bball court. this is in front of his old building that he hustled in front ot
November 12th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
On the low…Info is an instigator.
Calling it how I see it.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
I had already heard the song, genius. So I knew that he wasnt dissing Jeezy on it.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Its not just this interview tho. Its a pattern I’ve noticed with you over the years. You exacerbate rap beefs.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
i disagree. but suit yourself.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
It would be awesome if Gucci Mane was caught in some crazy wormhole while driving his fancy car, caught with a young graduate student, a professor, his best friend, they are stuck in a wormhole called the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge. They can go to alternate realities, like a world where the 60’s never ended, or AIDS has ravaged the earth. But they can not return to this world. And they spent the time trying to explore these worlds while waiting for their transporter to recharge.
That is the best thing I’d wish would happen to Gucci Mane.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I gonna need subtitles.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Asking questions isn’t instigating.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Y2DRE – If u dislike the way Info does things on her blog then just leave .. u don’t have to keep following it if it bothers you.
Gucci really eats lunch at strip joints? HAHAHAAHAH
November 12th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
This [edit] sounds like an idiot!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Peace? eh I’m thinking more of a ploy to look like the good guy and get fans on his side and possible business partners to not be so scared of using him. Kinda smart actually. (never thought I’d say that about Gucci)
November 12th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
She does! It’s her job. She’s an entertainment reporter and if everyone is cool there would be nothing to report.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
DAT MAN CAME ALONG WAY I RESPECT HIS SHIT & I FUCKS WIT JEZZY
November 12th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Thank you for shining a light on something positive! Hip-hop needs positivity! Gucci’s the hardest working rapper out. This track’s a good look!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
What the fuck is gucci mane talkin about. He said a whole bunch of nothin that entire interview
November 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
miss info always tryna start shit, learn how to give a proper interview
November 12th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
its gucci and jeezy all day they can co-exist even if they beefing people think they gotta dislike one of the other cause they beefing which is stoopid..and miss info u fine as fuck
November 12th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
GUCCI!!
Waiting on that album!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Miss Info, that interview you did with jeezy made me stop being a fan of his, because he was lying he said gucci lied in court and said he tried to get his chain , gucci didnt have to say a word the diss record “stay strapped” where jeezy puts a 10k bounty on gucci chain (he told on hisself) speaks for itself. with all that success jeezy has had its sad that it doesnt mean anything to him cause hes so worried about gucci success and hate to see him shine and gain more fans, even if you dont like gucci i feel you should at least respect him as a human being he is a survivor “a real soul suvivor” ,jeezy sent someone to rob him and he had to killed pockie loc (jeezy’s homie), jeezy is indenial about the whole thing so he wants to keep saying gucci snitched when thats not the case at all, miss info i heard before jeezy walks in the club he have his bodygrauds go to the dj and tell them “no gucci mane while hes in the club” lol well DJ HOLIDAY dont give a fuck jeezy was in the club and HOLIDAY played wasted like 3 times then played “photoshoot” and “i think i love her” and the crowd went crazy you can tell jeezy was pissed off he left mins later lol, this nigga hates the fact gucci is a growing star doing music with A-list … Mariah, jamie foxx, black eye peas, mario, wale, soulja boy, snoop dogg, 50 cent, the Game, rick ross, ect .. jeezy hates that i cant be a fan of someone who wanted another person’s life took , jeezy is evil and another thing , gucci mane put his niggas on OJ, WAKA , FRECHIE , WHO DA KID are all known way more than anybody on cte .. jeezy hasnt put any of them dudes from CTE on properly .. them lame CTE niggas are just jeezy’s weed cariers … jeezy just disapoints me now but i still like his music. with his CONEHEAD ASS.
lol i wrote that yesterday, miss info do you think JEEZY and GUCCI will ever make peace?
November 12th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
i always noticed that about info:
like the time she made the cops beat rodney king or when she started the whole oj vs nicole drama
November 12th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
OMG! write it, book it, I’m sold.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
its a thin line for the media play into beef- your either part of the solution or part of the problem.. This was done well and GUCCI seems to be thoughtfull, inteligent and diplomatic…
I havent seen any other side of him other then the crunk, club persona… this is good for both sides.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I think that Gucci is just tired of some shit thats been goin on for so many years and its just old. The beef started over something small he is on his grown man saying why should we keep beefing because they both have something to lose in the end. I think the beef will die down but jeezy aint doin to good rite now so i wouldnt be suprised if he retaliates with a diss.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Gucci didnt need 2 respond … jeezy mad a diss song just because gucci doing his thing… thats wat i feel and as gucci keeps goin in .. jeezy is goin 2 keep fallin and fallin …BRRRRRR lol
November 12th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
I enjoy watching miss info interviews just to see her fine ass. I want more “tv” from missinto.tv
November 12th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
The song is actually quit decent, I hope they’ll work together again. I’d love to hear a song by Gucci, Jeezy, TI, and Pill, some good ol’ trap music.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
gucci mane is a greatatrist very inspiring
November 12th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
How long until a subtitled version is up?
Would love to know what the fuck gooch is talking about…
November 12th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
first off all what da F###k he be talking about ….i feel da same way when he raps gotta give it up for the people who push him doing a good job yeezy i can feel he can rap he got something to say can sombody explain why they feeling his music
November 12th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Damn that’s eerie.
But I feel what you’re saying.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Got to salute your professionalism Miss Info.
Thanks for rising above the prejudice.I for one wouldn’t have given Gucci the time or day.Eastcoast snobbery towards southern rap needs to be weeded out.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
…..and truthfully I think I’d watch that.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Do you think thats your way of asking for a truce !!!! That was my favorite part lol !!!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Co-Sign.
Simplistic songs/lyrics can really cover up and hide respectable business moves.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Constant flow of blog visitors who claim instigation, hurl insults but refuse to leave…..Check
November 12th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Info, your all kinds of dope baby!am i wrong for loving you? because if loving u is wrong i dont wanna be right…
November 12th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I think that Gucci was right about everything he said. Its so many young people in this world that listen to rap music and think that they have to live their life like the music they listen to and because of that you do have alot of young adults locked up and you do have people hate’n other people because of what you said on a track. Its like being a parent if you dont watch what you say and do around you children and you set an bad example you’ll raise a bad example. As far as the beef with Jezzy goes he’s right get your money first.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
WOW!!!
I got the same vibe from that interview, like it was his last will and testament.
Info tell them to add some party music or something upbeat as background music to change the mood/vibe of that interview (e.g. OJ the Joose Man interview w/ DigiWax)
November 12th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Real Nigga…ur name is stupid-(change it to Real stupid) and so is your Comment…U must be deaf if u aint hear homey lyrics..but I hope u can read…
November 12th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Dope exclusive! That “24/23 Kobe/Lebron” is outta control… Hope they work it out… I like both artists music…
November 12th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
SLIDERS
November 12th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Gucci…made a lot of sense unlike some of the idiots that are making there comments on your blog Miss Info ..You do a good job..that why they read it.. but say thank u fools and shut up or just get off the blog….
November 12th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
don’t really care about any Gucci/Jeezy beef. I just wanted to say that vest is quite sick Info.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:22 pm

LOL! thank you. Zara. Not even expensive. Go grab one : )
November 12th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
That sounds soo cool – I think about a wormhole too when I listen to most of his mix tapes – lost in time – I would def buy and promote it….book or movie
November 12th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I’m finally gonna go to the store and buy an album instead d/L can’t wait – GUCCI!!!
November 12th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Gucci made it clear this is no truce, he just want them both to get the money and everyone has to respect that, gucci mane is really maturing into a respectable man . i wonder what jeezy gone say about this. if you really listen to what he said about one of jeezy’ dudes wanting to prove themseleves and willing to anything , thats the same thang that happened to the dude pockie he was trying to prove himself and you see what gucci did to him , killed him.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
THANK YOU! Someone finally got it, lol. Shout out to Quinn Mallory.
November 12th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
he deserves his success … they tried 2 stop him … and he over came that !!!
if you measure a man by his money :
(along came struggle)
if you measure a man by his struggles :
(along came money)
long story short … he aint give up !!!
with that being said “he is who he is today”

Lunch at the strip club? Like Chris Rock said, “Titties and tater tots dont mix”
November 12th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I give Gucci props for maturing. Its good to see. He’s right. They ain’t got to be friends but the beef is pointless. They got too much to lose. Good interview Info, lookin gorgeous.
November 12th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
so does asylum push the date up or push it back?
November 12th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I don’t give a fuck about the south rappers, but damn miss info is looking right in this. Probably the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her. Wow…
November 12th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Up!
Gotta capitalize on this prison time right away before Wayne hoggs all the attention lol.
Maybe Gucci & Tip can remix Wasted from inside the big house and get Da Brat on the hook.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
man these south niggas speakin’ a different type of english. this nigga needs some subtitles asap.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
OMG GUCCI MANE IS BACK IN JAIL .. NOOOOOOO
November 12th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
One could compare Gucci Mane’s situation and rise to the top of the south to 50’s situation when he was starting out and his rise to the top.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
It’s phucked up he’s in jail! He had such a huge buzz and then…for this to happen….now? this is the worst turn of events! man….everyone is going to jail! this isnt a good look for hiphop and it isnt a good look for “our” community when all the top rappers are going to jail.
WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER!
November 12th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Info is one of the reasons i love asian girls….nicee intervieww
November 12th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
I didn’t cry when TIP got locked, but I prolly will when Gucci does. – hahaha a lot of stans woulda said that about Wayne…
November 12th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
well, he’s just been sent back to prison tonight, so I guess that show’s his maturity…
November 12th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
um. ok, i guess.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
hmmm, I think they’re from topshop.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:12 pm

November 12th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Well Dayum Gucci!!He’ll be aight Info. I’ve been rockin wit’em since trap house. Everytime dude go away he come back out with a new angle to his style. I’ve been rockin with dude since ’05 first time he got locked up he came out wit the infamous trap money & bird flu mixtapes. Last year he was in the middle of the Wilt series which was hot then went in and he got a bigger buzz. Its sux he goin in again but im lookin forward to what he gon have on deck when he come back out.

November 12th, 2009 at 9:11 pm

November 12th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Free My nigga Gucci!!! and fuk the illuminati and Def Jam none of them devil worshipers go to jail
November 12th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
@ info….3 things…
1. U ever seen Ricky Bobby…the scene where the french dude is talking to ricky in the bar. Ricky is like ” I don’t understand a word u just said. Sound like a dog with peanut butter stuck to the roof of ur mouth.”…lol. Just fits perfect here.
2. I hate Gucci’s music but respect him for being a real dude. Not real for a rapper…Really real. They tried to murk him in jail & and at some strippers crib. He made it out both those situations. (the strippers crib he ended up bodying the dude who tried to body him)
3. At the 4:30 mark. Thats a real dude right there. He lettin ppl know. Stop playin around cause u havin a rap ego can get ur ppls jammed up.
November 12th, 2009 at 10:35 pm

November 12th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Always loved (and still do love) Ms Info from jump.
This Gucci Mane post is icing on the cake as to why Info (+ MFresh) will always STAY hot and relevant.
Yea, the site is no longer 100% “Hip Hop”, but what Info and Mikey post is 100% relevant.
Ive been reading and following “blogs” since 1999/2000.
This is what a “urban” or even “overall great” blog should be IMHO; Informed and Balanced.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
wow, thank you ron! that made my day : )
November 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
seriously?…..a “grey poupon n—a”? smh
November 13th, 2009 at 12:01 am
Info- I am realminterested in hearing his version of being black balled.
November 13th, 2009 at 12:04 am

November 13th, 2009 at 12:12 am
QUIET AS IT KEPT PEOPLE ANIT FUCKING WITH JEEZY LIKE THEY DID IN 2005 . HES A HATEFUL PERSON , TO WISH DEATH ON SOMEONE IS SO HATEFUL BUT GUCCI WILL COME THROUGH. HIS FANBASE IS TOO STRONG NOT TOO

November 13th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
“does anyone REALLY give a shit about this dude and who he beefn with?? ”
mr. black thats a question you should ask yourself since you knew the post was about him yet you took the time out to post about him smdh .. people just hate on this man just to hate he must be on your mind.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
by far is this bozo on my mind. this is a public forum and actually a good one. i peep it from time to time and can comment as i wish. im not hating just to hate. why dont YOU be honest to yourself, pull up some of Gucci’s lyrics, READ them and tell me what you like about his nursery rhymes…..
matter of fact here you go:
Why you wanna leave me?,
You should wanna tease me
Bein’ Icy ain’t easy,
I make it look easy
Used to cover ya belly,
Let ya rock Louis
Now it’s fuck shorty,
I don’t like Gucci
riveting right?
