Gucci Mane is still behind bars but he continues to bring us new music with no hesitation. He’s been behind bars for disorderly conduct, a concealed weapon, marijuana possession, & other charges since 2013 & his sentence is hopefully coming to an end. Throughout this time we have seen many different sides of Gucci Mane as he continues to be one of the most consistent & relevant Hip-Hop artists.
Big Guwop has released nearly 500 songs from prison but today we don’t get any new music instead we get a new open letter from Gucci himself. Today also marks the 10th anniversary of his debut album, ‘Trap House.’ Feeling nostalgic & inspired Gucci lets everybody in on his thoughts regarding its release. The letter was sent into XXL earlier today. Read it below:
“I dropped my 1st album Traphouse ten years ago May 2005 I remember being proud and angry the day it was released. I was proud of the work I put in and the quality of the project but I was angry that someone had to be killed over a dispute about the rights to some of the contents of the album. 10 years later I reflect on how that day impacted my life and my legacy and I am grateful for all the fans that supported me then and still support me now. Every challenge and obstacle in my life has helped me to become who I am today and provided me with the tests to display my resilience. I hope my life showed someone somewhere that if you endure the storm you will eventually get your chance to shine. I never give up and I have grown and learned so much and still am eager to learn more. I look forward to showing the world how much I have grown and getting out and helping my community. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a recording artist and help others get their chance to be heard. To my fans I love you all and I want you all to know I am motivated and will not let my past decide my future. I chose to not focus my attention on my negativities but on my dreams. I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling. My liabilties I turn to assets and even my inconsistincies make me the unique person I am. I am focused and I will be returning soon very soon so get ready. If I had to change anything in the last 10 years I would not change one thing. Sincerely Guwop! its Guccciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” —Gucci Mane
