Is it because no one can understand what he says, so no one can say what he raps about is stupid?

Because people pay for his music. Who is willing to endorse the art (if you wanna call it that) that you're putting out? He obviously has sonething that people like.

It's quite the process to become a successful trap rapper...

Step 1:

flip rocks
flip rocks
flip rocks
shoot someone
flip rocks
flip rocks
flip rocks

ok, now you have enough money to record some raps in a studio.

Step 2:

record shitty trap raps
give out free samples, the samples find their way to upper middle class suburban white children who in turn buy any and all tracks and albums because they can...
invest profit in more rocks...

Step 3:

??????????????????????????????????

Step 4:

PROFIT!

I think its because America is full of fuckin retards. Its like a fish being drawn to a lewer, people just like other people that dress flashy, and have more then them. Even if they're fuckin retarded.

Flocka is definitely better gucci isn't terrible though.




One of my friends a clown and is way into trap music so I am forced to listen to it when I am around him and it has grown on me. Definitely not music for picking up girls though. Women don't like bricksquad monopoly.

He really does have a nice line of producers that have worked for him and he sells to a crowd that just wants a catchy beat anyways so it works out nicely

I go so far to say it is in Austria and Germany atleast as bad.

There is this fucking retard which idols are only rappers like Gucci Mane.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCfm-vWuQRk (can't embed this but watch this if you enjoy watching retards)

He also says (translated): "Whoever doesn't wear snapbacks or atleast fitted caps isn't a real rapper or gangster"

Then we have this f*ggot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGg2LVvTYs

Not that bad he got a very small lil bit of talent but the stuff he makes is just horrible.

1st guy is more hated than liked but he's famous and that shows that something's just wrong.

2nd guy is just liked by nearly everybody and this shows that everybody takes pictures like this :

Just wanted to show you how things are here.

I think he's a good musician. If you listen closely, his beats and lyrics are actually pretty complex and well coordinated.

Gucci isn't selling his lyrics he's selling himself and the trap. He's a good businessman and has people surrounding him who helped him become and continue to help him be successful. He's made multiple key connections with producers and other rappers who allow him to continue to make the large amounts of music and money that he's been making recently. Anyone who is as big as Gucci has to be at least somewhat intelligent to get where they are.

Haha in that video of crips going off on Flocka, that was Slick Pulla's cousin. Slick is the Jeezy associate that knocked the fuck out of Flocka a few years ago.
