Rise of Gucci Mane & Fall of Jay-Z......Preview


I do not fit the description of a Gucci Mane fan

-I'm born and raised in Brooklyn ( Flatbush)
-I'm def one of those "up north people" that think southern rappers can't rap
-Jay-Z is one my favorite rappers ( BIG comes before him)
-I'm a college student in D.C ( Explains why I even know who Gucci Mane is)


The last couple of months I've noticed some weird things in the rap game.

NY has yet to have a "new" rapper, we still 'Hov, though in all his greatness and a guy called Gucci Mane, best known for his somewhat popular 2006 song " So Icy" was released from jail.

Its August 2009 and things keep getting weirder.
Gucci Mane is featured on Mario's lead single "break up" and did a remix video with mariah carey lead single " Obsessed" ( He wears a white suit, even more weird)
Jay-Z is currently cruising the radio waves with his hit "DOA- Death of Autotune" (do some research on the song-lyrics wise)

I see myself as a very observant person, now I'm not saying Gucci is a BETTER rapper than Jay-Z, just saying I've noticed a swing and rise in popularity.
Jay needed to drop DOA (something a lot of other lesser known rappers had said) to get his name out. Whereas Gucci, is storming the streets with his likeness.

GUCCI!!!!!!!AYE OK!!! BURRR!!!

The last time a NY rapper had a effect on the streets as whole it was 2005 "No homo"
Whats new?

Just thinking that's all..........More to come
