The Autobiography of Gucci Mane

After reading this book I definitely became a bigger fan of Gucci but even more of a fan of Radric Davis. He overcame so much in his life to not only be a better rapper but most importantly a better man. As a fan I always said Gucci made better music while he was in jail but I’m glad he has defeated those demons and is blessed as a OG in the rap game. He has had his mark on some many heavyweights not only from Atlanta but in the rap game period! This man should’ve been dead a long time ago but he never gave up. This is definitely the stuff of movies and hopefully he gets his story told on film as well. The 50 Cent of the south for sure,a must read for everyone and not just fans of rap

Great book, now it’s my coffee table book

I was enthralled by his story , I didn't know much about Gucci. I'm happy to know he overcame his demons and has a better life. This book should be given to people seeking a better life and to be shown you can grow and change. A person has to hold themselves accountable and reconcile the past to move forward it is indeed possible. I appreciate him putting his story out as a youngster I wanted this life now I see why mama was so strict. Definitely a good read and you get to know this artist on a deep level not the media B.S. just a man evolving and changing.

I didn’t know much about Gucci Mane except what my younger family members had told me, and that was, he was a rapper from Atlanta, and helped put a lot of southern rappers on the map so to speak. I became interested in reading his life story after watching him give an interview on the Breakfast Club, and after seeing his beautiful wedding on BET. I wondered, what made this young man go all out for his fiancée like this? What a gentlemen! I had to know his story… Gucci Mane better known as Radric Davis, was born in Alabama and grew up in Atlanta. He came from a very poor upbringing and a volatile home. Growing up without a father, and living in a single-parent household, Gucci was determined to make a better life for himself. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and family members who were violent and abused alcohol, Gucci becomes a product of his environment. He turns to selling drugs and has many run-ins with the law. Confused and feeling invincible quite often, Gucci repeats his mistakes. Turning to music to try to get away from the “dope game,” he realizes all that glitters in the music industry is not gold. He faces portrayal, money losses, and backstabbing from friends-turned-foes. As soon as he thinks he’s got a good foot in the door, his addictions causes him to end up in jail once more. I appreciate Gucci’s backstory and the details about the music business, in particular, southern hip-hop. I’m from the east coast, and honestly, I only listened to a few artists like Outkast, Goodie Mob, and T.I. the rest of the artists I had never heard of, but Gucci made me curious enough to Google the names of different ones he mentioned as being legends of the South. I must admit, I too like some of the songs now. While the story of Gucci’s life was a good read that kept me turning the pages, there are quite a few gaps, which he admits were intentional, but other things such as his children or son “Bam” is mentioned as an afterthought. There’s also not a lot of details about his mother and his family as he gets older. Where were they when he got into all of this trouble? There is only one scene where his mother tries to save him, she then disappears. Also, the book came to an abrupt end, as if someone felt it was long enough or he simply didn’t want to go into any more details. In all, I hope Gucci Mane is out of jail for good. I’m glad he’s living a healthy and happy life with his wife and children.

Highly recommend

The book was a gift for my husband and he said it was honest and inspirational ✨

I knew Gucci's music growing up but I was never a huge fan. Reading this book was definitely a charm - he takes you through some of the most intimate times in his life. Gucci doesn’t glorify "the life" but he walks the reader through his journey, helping us to better understand where he's been, how and why he completely changed his life around, and how he plans to continue his growth go forward. It's exciting to read lyrics to songs throughout the book and reminisce on where I was at during that time of life...you'll definitely recall the "bangers". I certainly became a fan of Gucci (not his music) after reading. Great gift for young men!

Guwop se livre pour de vrai et on y apprend énormément sur ses débuts que ça soit en Alabama, ses Goons, de son étymologie, du 1017 et de la Zone 6 Clique et cie. Rien que la couverture du Livre est charismatique. J’ai été surpris de la très bonne qualité de ce Livre, des anecdotes de tarés. D’autant plus que malgré ses beefs, Wizzop reste vrai et parle Vrai. Un bouquin qui reste zinzin pas impossible que vous vous taperez des barres tellement que c’est parfois irréel Lol. Au vu de la lourdeur du 1er Tome, je pense pas que le 2nd fera le poids, à voir... Bref, si vous aimez le vrai Southside, la Trap, L’univers de Alana (ATL) n’hésitez jamais à acheter le livre de Gucci Mane il en vaut la peine. Le livre est uniquement en anglais ou en allemand. Mais bref, c’est un anglais assez simple et vous apprenez le slang en même temps. Par contre il y’a une coquille dans le livre. Force à Guwop. #BURR #SKURRRR

Supergute Autobiographie des Trap-Gottes! In einer sehr klaren Unterteilung der Kapitel und Lebens-/Karriereabschnitte erzählt Gucci in leicht verständlichem Englisch von seiner Kindheit, kriminellen Aktivitäten und letztendlich seiner großen Leidenschaft: der Musik. Es geht um Drogenabhängigkeit, Karrieretiefpunkte, das Connecten mit anderen Künstlern und das Etablieren in der Musikindustrie. Auch zahlreiche andere Rapper (nicht nur aus Atlanta) finden hier Erwähnung. Sogar Sidestories über V-Nasty oder eben die üblichen Verdächtigen wie Migos, Young Thug, etc. werden geschildert. Suchtgefahr und sehr motivierend für Musikschaffende! Immer mit Attitüde, aber ohne die eigene Rolle zu übertreiben! Ein Pflichtkauf für Alle die auf Trapmusic stehen oder selbst rappen/produzieren. Dazu ist die Aufmachung der gebundenen Ausgabe wirklich sehr hochwertig.

Etkileyici bir hikaye.

Mio figlio, grande fan di Gucci Mane, l'ha apprezzato tantissimo. Lo ha "divorato" nel giro di pochi giorni. Gli è piaciuto molto
