That was actually the "So Icy" squad at first. When he had DG Yola aka Yola Da Great, Soulja Boy, & Slim Dunkin down with him too. Then he changed the name to Brick Squad after that.
Yeah, Yola got shot in the face & almost died. Did time for a robbery & then got released... only to catch a body & receive life in prison afterwards. Slim Dunkin is gone & even Bankroll who used to run with Gucci back then is gone also... he was just known as Fresh back then though.
One of the biggest issues in the black community is accountability. Gucci led by example. Successful family man. He had already showed us what happens when you f*ck up, you go to jail or prison. Those young 🥷 didn’t pay attention. That’s on them.
@DreamMaker_970 Yall Old heads blame Young people for everything meanwhile Boomers and Gen X was Free basing at house Parties listening to earth wind and fire
@@Rico-ld3dtthe word he was lookin for is more vices- good habits are necessary to fill in the gap. At some point we all have vices in some sense, but you can always overcome.
Hot boy Wes just got sentenced this year, pooh shiesty did his shooting after he got signed, scar died while signed, enchanting same thing, foo really the only one that had some prior sht fuck him up
Lol cos Gucci put drugs in their mouth and forced them to carry guns. Yup yup definitely his fault 😂💦💦. You can take the donkey to the river but can’t force it to drink
A rapper can found in every hood in America. But with no home training or professional guidance, they crash out when they get a little clout and money.
Nobody talks about the success of Big Walk Dog. And Gucci was really in the streets and turned his life around. They're are in the streets and his career and even earlier life is documented. He shouldn't need to preach and lead. He is a walking success story
@@ScoutsHonor. great comment. Black People need to stop worshipping rappers. Gucci is not a role model and he's lucky to have his freedom. You would think he would do more to help keep these people alive. Gucci is just like his jewish owners.
@@jiggaman000 I mean read what the brother said. “Gucci was really in the streets” “he shouldn’t need to lead” “he is a walking success story”. He said that in one paragraph and I don’t even think if you spelled out to him what’s wrong with what he said he would understand. Too far gone. I would say that 65% of black men think like Blackashi. Gucci is a symbol of what it is to be “black”.
@@ScoutsHonor. He’s talking about him being an example to follow if you are someone trying to get out the streets and become successful. He’s saying they should look at him because he’s a living example right in front of their eyes.
That’s where the leadership come in he was to. Didn’t affect their mentality let their mindset be the same didn’t Lead them didn’t show them that’s the argument
@@mpgrobbo9747your not listening some of his artists have cases pending when he signed them. So when they went to court and find out they were going to prison for their actions BEFORE HE SIGNED THEM. Is that still Gucci Mane fault. Whether he leading them or not leadership cannot take place when you got shit pending before he knew
@@billmedlock6 radric is doing what Gazi does. Signing criminals and gang bangers, take out insurance on their lives, then cash in once they die. Read the plays ! 🤓
Bro... if I make a list of all of Gucci's artists who have been either unalived by violence or overdoses, locked up in jail or prison, or just fell off or went out bad... it'd be a toilet 🚽 paper 🧻 list 📜 full. All the way back from So Icy, to Brick Squad, to 1017. There's just way too many of them.
This actually shows that Gucci be trying to pull people out of real situations! Some of us have good intents but it just don't work out how you thought it would.
So we’re gonna pretend like Waka flocka wasn’t a success🙄. All Gucci ever did was put people in position. The artist are the ones responsible for their own problems. Black people will always self destruct because they REFUSE TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY .
Waka Flocka had one successful album and then fell off. You're favorite rappers are broke. Waka is selling alcoholic beverages. Gucci is an ignorant rapper thats lucky to be alive. He is just like his Jewish Owners. No one who has sense should sign with him.
My nigga, you know how long ago that was? Hip hop's main fan base is teenagers. Adults who have to work and pay bills don't have time to keep up with it no more.
It’s the biggest hypocrisy in our culture. We love for our rappers and artist to live what they rap and when something happens everybody wants virtual hugs. Gucci a street dude who signed street dudes then and now, the old 1017 frenchie just got 25 years these new 1017 rappers plus social media and the drill and pull era is a recipe for disaster. This has little to do with Gucci as an individual and our culture and disconnect as a whole.
@@URFAVTROLL of course not right now it’s dying out but for about 5-7 years it was and the cause and effect of it was real plus our other problems we already had.
He signing Dope Fiend's and putting Insurance on them ain't giving them no Guidance, Knowledge or Wisdom. Just signing them and letting them do what they do and you can't blame him
Gucci cleaned up so he is leading by example. They didn't all follow his lead or all his disciplines it seems. He can only provide opportunities he can't be doing their work and pay them.
Clearly Gucci doing something wrong. Everyone he signs either dies or goes to jail Lmaoo. Either be a leader fix some of their habits or sign more logically artists lol
thank you. we really are messed up out here. everyone got problems and every day we have to take accountability. atleast CW talks about it. our people lost lost.
Gucci is a street dude. He sign street artist. If you street then you know what comes with the streets. Gucci isn’t at fault whatsoever. If anything he giving these street artist an opportunity. It’s up to the artist if they go to jail or something tragic happens to them. They were street before they signed, so they absolutely know what comes with the streets. Ya dig
Sean cotton keep doing your thing my guy! From Philadelphia to Dallas and still moving forward even with all us probably was against him as strongly committed
It’s hard to tell someone who love the street life or deep in it to change their life and leave it alone. I tried to lead by example for my brother and even put him on game. My whole family tried but he still chose that life for his own reasons. That street life become an addiction especially if you getting fast money.
same with melly and von manager track 100 it's just one off these things its not the managers fault it's the artists fault for not being grateful for what they being blessed with Charlestown still a goof ball
He definitely does all the artist in the industry get life insurance policies once they sign to a label💯this has been happening to my knowledge since the 90’s
Man you slow Gucci and her parted ways a while back they stop dropping music ain’t Gucci fault he don’t tell them do drugs Gucci just sign young talented to give the a opportunity
Pooh shiesty alone, would have made Gucci a 100 million. That ski mask been around for years but these kids called it a Pooh shiesty mask. It wasn’t even apart of his merchandise. Shiesty would have been really marketable outside of Music
My generation really looked up to Gucci because he killed that dude but I’ve always felt different. He always gave me hater dark energy vibes. He flipped on Waka. He wanted to diss gotti but he fell back because gotti a g. I felt like gucci mane was a catalyst in the dolph gotti beef. He left Ralo out there to dry when Ralo was dissing Moneybag yo and couldn’t get anymore shows. He discards his artist like trash. I like Gucci to a certain extent but he always been a little off to me. His brother came out and said their mother passed and Wop didn’t attend the funeral or anything. Kind of crazy
I remember I felt like that. It was cause my gf left me..but ill never allow myself to feel like that again Bounce back and meet new people.its a big world out there
As a young man in a world full of deceit,envy and backstabbing I felt like this since the age 18 I just started getting back out in the world I’m 24 that feeling of loneliness can take you to a place you should never see😔
Every leader also tends to surrounds themselves with people like them. regardless of Gucci’s self improvement, all his artists are folks that are exactly like he was before all that
It’s the generation for the most part they had no one to teach them how to behave how to prosper how to know the difference between right and wrong a real friend around them to tell them hey this ain’t the way 😔
That's why they don't sign mature older artists they target young impressionable people who come from poverty who will do anything to make it out so it makes them easier to control and manipulate
You're giving an opportunity. Make the most of your opportunities. Don't trick it off. That's why the youth messed up now. People are always holding others accountable. For the actions of idiots. Like my uncle always said MF I can't hold your hand. Your life is your own make the best of it. Don't be a fool.
I actually agree with Charleston for once . He’s actually speaking truth . I just telling my guys on the game last night ..Gucci lose every artist he sign don’t he ..like maybe he should start looking at different artists with different backgrounds bcs all his artists literally end up dead or in jail and no he’s not responsible for their deaths directly but that mf know damn well signing Memphis artist and what come with that .. like you have to have a different mindset and different avenues..he should think about doing pop artist or country music or hell even rock music making a comeback but yea Gucci need to sit down with his wife and discuss something else as far as with signing artist especially mfs from Memphis ..idk how he even making a return on his investments .
If I’m lying God take me out of this world I been screaming since 2012 we need a barter system. Fawk this money ish people look at me like I’m crazy or wtf am I talking about. Thank you CW to validate I’m not crazy
