Exclusive: Young Jeezy speaks on the history of his beef with Gucci Mane, “I haven’t spoken on this in 4 years…”
Posted by Miss Info under Beef , Exclusives , Life Beyond Rap , Not Good For Hip Hop , Quotes , Sigh , Videos[37] Comments
Yesterday, the news of Gucci Mane’s benevolent response to “24-23” definitely travelled fast (thanks to many of my fellow bloggers). But while many fans were as surprised as I was to hear Gucci say “I kinda liked it… I must be doing something right… I’m not gonna respond….,” Young Jeezy had a much different reaction.
Jeezy called me Wednesday night, upset about Gucci’s high road response, insisting that his record “24-23” was instigated by what he says was a history of attacks from Gucci Mane (MTV’s related story lists examples from Gucci’s “Writing on the Wall” mixtape).
And during the half hour discussion, Jeezy also shared for the first time in 4 years his side of the original Young Jeezy/Gucci Mane dispute, what he says happened during the making of their song “So Icy,” and what happened when both he and Gucci were at Atlanta’s Velvet Room nightclub on Monday night.
(also included on this embeddable player is Gucci’s interview and the song that set things in motion, Jeezy’s “24-23.” To download the interview audio, click HERE)
UPDATE: Cocaine Blunts did an extremely thorough compilation of diss records between Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane. This definitely helps to put things in perspective. (**I notice that they diss me in the post and accuse me of “fanning the flames” of an already-dead (?) beef. That’s disheartening. Seeing as how throughout this interview I broken-record myself with talks of cease-fires. Ah well, love that site anyways.)
(Unrelated/Related: Late last night, there was a fight at DJ Trauma’s party at Atlanta’s Luckies Lounge, allegedly between DJ Drama’s crew and Jeezy’s CTE crew. Gyant Unplugged has more details)
UPDATE 2: Jeezy called RapRadar today to deny reports that he was stabbed at the Luckie’s Lounge altercation.
UPDATE 3: DJ Trauma spoke to XXLMag about the fight, and also about the strict security precautions in place for this weekend’s Jeezy/Gucci concert. I’m glad to see they take this stuff serious. And seeing as how the same rivals were booked last year with no incident, I hope the same holds true this year. (thanks to Jessie Gissen for the link)

For real, Info you have the most on point, technologically thorough blog in the hip hop game. Links, sources, embeddable players and widgets.No wonder everyone gets there blog material from you. (myself included)
As for Jeezy and Gucci…..I just don’t get a good vibe about where is is going. And now OJ is talking slicC online now too. :/

Jizz you are a bitch! Gucci has a free pass for the rest of his life to say whatever the fuck he wants about you. You tried to have him killed and then he was facing murder charges. You bitching about him saying shit about you b/c he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison for a “WASTE OF SPERM” like yourself. I am thinking Jizz is starting to get the feeling of what goes around comes around. Be scared bitch and oh yeah Gucci’s old boys “BIG CAT RECORDS” sucked and they didn’t have his back. That is why he doesn’t fuck w/ them he fucks w/ his true brothers that he grew up with.
June 18th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Where did all these Gucci fans come from?
June 18th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Gucci n jeezy beef was dope, i would love it to come back and there to be more beef. and both are gonna love it they gonna rack in a bunch of cream.
June 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm

June 18th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Umm soo in Miami, when all the alphabet (FBI, ATF, DEA), I thought the Taliban or al Qaida was popping some shit of in the M-I-A, dem boys showed up to arrest Gucci n Big Cat, it wasn’t Jeezy yeah whateva. N yeah some folks involved with Big Cat are puss but Big Cat had no choice to back off, when your hand is in the lions mouth you gotta take it out slowly.
June 18th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Jeezy probably mad cause he needs beef with Gucci to help make some money and create more buzz for himself… but now Gucci is on a different level then b4 and doesn’t need to beef with Jeezy or attention
June 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Wait, so there’s a DJ Drama, a DJ Trauma, and of course the “Drama King” Kay Slay?
June 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Keeping everything in perspective here though, somebody already died with this beef. Gucci ALMOST died with this beef. And for some reason they’re keeping it going.
This shit has to be deeper than a payment for So Icy. Come on, that’s some “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” shit.
June 18th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Real talk Info always on point,…I gota say I can’t wait to marry (JK)
As for Jeezy homie needs to fall back if Prada ooops I mean Gucci ain’t responding, then it is what it is. All I gota say is, I don’t be checking for Jeezy, But that “24-23” got my attention, sonn delivered the message, And who the fuck this OJ character now?
Yo Info give us some more Slaughterhouse, swag is played out, time for the Bravado is Now
June 18th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Who cares Gucci is trash, OJ is fucking garbage and Jeezy ain’t all that either. How ya’ll could listen to that shit is beyond me. All they are is the new version of Baby. Talkin about nothing with a bunch of country slang nobody can understand.
What ever happened to The Youngbloodz, 8Ball/MJG, UGK, Trick Daddy? That’s that real South shit. Not this garbage that’s embarrassing an entire region.
June 18th, 2009 at 2:52 pm

June 18th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Shit homey I use to be like that Cam is the man, but you might get quite bored due to the fact they drop once every few years. I guess you can listen to the same 50 songs over and over for 2 years straight if you wnat. You need to broaden your listening to some shit from all over the map. Gucci ain’t for everyone, but he is different. You don’t have to be retarded/dumb to listen to it. Shit I am smarter than Einstein(when he was alive) and I still listen to Gucci.
June 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
“Who cares Gucci is trash, OJ is fucking garbage and Jeezy ain’t all that either. How ya’ll could listen to that shit is beyond me.”
finally! thank you. people are just up on this shit because of the image and how ridiculous it is. OJ version: “peopa ju uh on dih cud me n goo man how fly we id”. shit that’s too many consonants.
June 18th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
CTE FO’ LIFE! Gucci and OJ is garbage. I knew Jeezy was gonna be doing big things when I first heard’em on a mixtape doing that track Air Forces…one of my fav trax to this day…since day one he’s been killin’ everything he touches…as for Gucci…dood I heard your album..and the only track bangin’ was So Icy. It was funny cuz it was your record yet the guest artist str8 outshined you. Even on them beef raps, you suck. But be what it be. Everybody get their money. I just ain’t listening to either Gucci or OJ. Miss Info your interviews are on point. Keep up the good work. To Jeezy: Man, you need to put out that “CTE Till the Death” track with Slick Pulla as a single…that track is hard! Put all CTE camp on it and just do a full session with that. I’m out. One.
June 18th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
you kids are fuckin morons, “killin the mixtapes”? LOL their fucking mixtapes.. jeezys got 3 albums out over 3 million sold. fuck gucci and his jelous ass, jeezy > gucci on every damn level
June 18th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
” My problem is not with Gucci, I wear it. My problem is with Rodger.”
lol
June 18th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
LOL!!!!! I think everyone’s thinking the same as you. A lot of slow people have learned to use the net now I guess.
June 18th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Jeezy stay taking L’s from Gucci. Don’t get it twisted, DJ Holiday/DJ Drama people is down with Gucci. They fuck up Jeezy crew.
I give Jeezy credit for not backing down but he needs more help.

Gucci is dropping songs with Mariah, OJ is dropping with R.Kelly and Jada, Gucci just signed to Warner, and right now has a wayyy bigger buzz than Mr. 17.5.
If you don’t think so, look at the covers of all the ATL DJ’s mixtapes that have came out in the last year.
Jeezy says he ‘ain’t no jealous individual’ but it’s clear that he is catching feelings over Gucci’s recent success.
If you have any doubts over Jeezy’s bitchassness and fakeness, Google for what Pimp C (the realest ever, RIP) had to say about that ho.
Gucci killing it, I’m rockin with SO ICEY!

Oh Ok, you seem pretty smart also. Big Meach the guy who is in prison and has been heard ratting on his bros to get a lesser sentence than spending the rest of his life behind bars, what you don’t consider that ratting? Gucci is doing something right b/c he is playing clubs every other day getting $50,000 a show. Shit that’s more $ than you will make in what 2 1/2 years. If your locked up and taking cock, how the fuck is that suppose to be cool? Damn S.K. you really are stupid aren’t you. Get $ and quick bitching, HO! Hate me for being right.
June 27th, 2009 at 3:52 am
to bug manic
But Jeezy been did tracks with Mariah, Kells and Jada. I don’t see Gucci signing to Warner as a big thing because even though they’re a major, what’s the last platinum (gold, even) rap album they’ve released? Yea, Gucci may be dumb hot right now, but Jeezy’s buzz stays pretty consistent. 3 studio albums, over 3 million sold, stays hot on the streets, has crossover appeal, just took time out to drop the “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead” mixtape (hotness by the way) and T.M. 103 is on the way. Dude stays relevant.
Bottom line, Young’s status is pretty much solidified at this point and people are just jumping on the Gucci train because he’s sizzlin. How he got so hot, I have no idea, but that’s for another time.
