Chuck And gucci

Chuck D, the front man of Public Enemy, offered his opinion of Jay-Z and Gucci Mane during an interview on AllHipHop Radio’s morning show “Eric B and Friends” earlier in the day.

The rapper expressed his admiration for Jay-Z from a career point of view, and stressed that he was impressed with “The Blueprint 3″ album.

Chuck also said that rappers such as Gucci Mane and Baby of Cash Money, who both sharply contested Jay-Z’s top slot on MTV’s “Hottest Rapper” list had no artistic right to be so vocal.

Chuck said, “Jay-Z’s just getting started. Gucci Mane, he’d be better off jumping in a swimming pool with a plugged in toaster.”

    I’m sure alotta people thinking Chuck D might be hating on the south… cause he DID mention southern “artists”. But let’s be real. Nearly ALL of the music that has came out in the past 8 years have been from southern rappers, not Emcees, who’ve consistently demonstrated little to no lyrical creativity over beats that sound like there were equally little thought & time in creating it. Basically commercial rap has gotten too simple, too predictable, continues to follow the same formula, and with absolutely no mature substance. Too much of this same type of music is out flooding hip-hop to a point where people have allowed themselves to be re-conditioned to “think” Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, The New Boys, Boosie are hot artists with lyrical skill??? Are you serious? There’s simply no balance in music anymore to gauge the truly wack from the truly talented. And that’s why alot of people believe the music out now is utterly trash can rap. And being from H-Town raised on REAL hip-hop, I definitely agree with Chuck D about Gucci Mane & Baby.
    One other thing; How is it that “rappers” like Baby and Rick Ross can get on a mic and fill a record up talking about all the s**t they have and speaking about their own wealth that most hard working people can’t even relate to and could only dream about?!? How can a hard working society of black folk sit up and listen and relate to somebodys bullshyt of a openly lavish lifestyle (that majority of the time isn’t real) when most are living pay check to pay check, bustin’ their ass trying to keep bills paid, trying to work around fugged up credit, trying to get through college, just dealing with the everyday hustles of living!?!? What “rappers” any of you know who speaking on real serious everyday issues like that thats getting radio & media play? Soon as people learn to turn off their radios, BET/MTV, and search for more creative and talented artists is when ya’ll will realize tht the music you’re hearing on the radio and seeing on BET that you “think” is hot, really it isn’t.

    There comes a time when you have to be able to seperate “hate” and “opinion”. I’m Southern raised but I do feel that the music airways are being flooded out and has lost much balance.

    Hip Hop is a variety of different music and right now there is definitely not a variety being dispersed to the listeners.

    *Side note: Art is suppose to imitate life..and currently, most life is imitating art.

    What’s real about that? The word “real” has taken a whole new twist in meaning…but thats a whole new topic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rodchillin/ rodchillin

    umm…Blueprint is aight..not his best work of art..However I do respect the fact that Jay Z and most artist are able to transition from the hood to businessmen. Gucci is aight. He’s not a lyricist by any stretch of the imagination. It’s way too early in his career for him to come at Jay like that and i’m not even a big Jay Z fan..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/andrew1970/ andrew1970

    Chuck D and Public Enemy is my overall best rap group without a doubt. Gucci Mane is my favorite rapper from the south. I just hope that we aint seeing an eastcoast, downsouth feud coming on. Chuck should be smarter than that by giving out such criticism to a rapper that the whole south is feelin right now.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/J_da_Kid214/ J_da_Kid214

    The whole problem was that they didnt specify wat the list actually is suppose to consist of. Hottest rapper “RIGHT NOW” or on a career basis. Jaz-Z hands down got everybody on the list as far as his career goes. But Gucci is the hottest right now. The SOUTH is the hottest and has been for YEARS. Aint nobody holdin it down on the east coast right now. Dats why Jay-z keep comin out of retirement so the east coast can have a voice to be heard around the U.S. Wayne can easily be number one too without a doubt. Baby need to have a seat. Just stick to the business side of the game….

    Flavor Flav’s roll in P.E. WAS to be the BAFFOON, the clock was to let white people know “We know the time muh phucca!” Flav was to embody everything white people had portrayed us as!

    Also giving mention, Flav is a musical genius and can play the shyt outta some classical music, No drum machine or studio, just a black man on the piano.

    DA_GEORGETOWN_MAYOR asked: WHO CARES WHAT CHUCK D THINKS???

    Everybody has an opinion…but none of them matter. Not even mine. I just get sick of seeing the same s**t. From a “hip-hop” standpoint…nobody likes Gucci. But he’s making money and has a pretty big buzz on the music scene…regardless of how he feels about other artists, respect his grind. If these cats are that rich or that influential, give pointers instead of half ass commentary. I’m a fan of Jay-Z for his lyrics and have been for a while. He and Gucci are not on the same level…they’re not on the same playing fields…but Gucci’s music is something to ride to..When dumbasses realize it’s not the same level of music maybe hating can stop and listen to who you like instead of criticizing what’s making money. WHere the f**k was blogging when Snow and Milli Vanilli were out? Biased ass cynics.

    The main thing is Chuck shouldn’t be speakin out on nobody… KRS said Def Jam was the reason hip hop got messed up and its true. When the East Coast artist started biting the style of the south that changed the whole landscape of music going away from they original style, remember once upon a time where everybody had somebody to represent for them, now its all commercial, HIP HOP died in 1994… the nails in the coffin was Pac & Big… And Master P, Russell, Puffy and Jay-Z was the pallbearers

    The older rappers amaze me with the amount of hate they throw at the younger rappers. We know Gucci isnt more lyrical than Jay but EVERYONE WHO ISNT SELLING RECORDS STOP HATIN ON GUCCI AND SOULJA BOY.. Their kids. Let them live like u did. Yall s**t was ignorant too at sum point. Flava Flav??? << Nuff said

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/U_InquireMi/ U_InquireMi

    One thing I can never understand about rappers from the south and certain people from down south is that, y’all can be very critical towards what New York is doing but y’all can’t never admit when someone from the south is Trash. Now if you ever left your town and came to New York you’d see that most of us don’t like bulls**t no matter if it comes from. Even if its one of our own ex. Cam, Jim Jones, Ron Brownz, Dj Webstar etc. As far as Chuck D that’s his “OPINION” just like y’all have “OPINIONS” about NY music that’s how he feels and I agree. The average teen here in NY may not agree because they like Gucci but the older heads don’t rock with that nursery rhyme stuff. Not to mention Gucci ain’t a young dude either so comparing his age to Jay shouldn’t be a topic. Now hating would be saying “F gucci” without any explanation. Learn how to separate the two. Now if NYC or “east coast” is so dead then why are y’all supposedly running the game dudes catching feelings? Because east is VERY!!! Relevant like it or not even if its our vets like Rae, Jay Ghost or whoever holding it down that’s called love for Hip Hop. Might I add Rae outsold Jay on itunes so NY is still selling. All I’m saying is stop being b***hes if you don’t like something then don’t listen to it point blank.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kountry_Mayne/ Kountry_Mayne

    Maybe if baby , lil wayne and gucci all combine their money together and rap for maybe another 10 years they just might have enough money to claim they are better than jay-z

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ultramagnetic74/ ultramagnetic74

    Most of the “old” rappers came from a time when there wasn’t the kind of money to be made in HipHop so artistry took more priority than business and money makin.

    If you are one who believes record correlate to quality then some of GREATEST Rappers of all-time are MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross.

    Selling records is a function of business and marketing not necessarily lyrical skill.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/XxPrincess256/ XxPrincess256

    I think a lot of old school rappers can not transition to the new era of hip hop. Times have changed, and so has the music.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kraycarr/ kraycarr

    I thought rapping was about good lyricizm and creativity, If you are goin rap about cars, hoes, money, and drugs all day….at least be good at it..me personally I dont care what you rap about just be good at it..thats the difference between 80s/90s rap and this New s**t…..And the young cats out here today think its just cool to sound country as hell on a track, and cant rap worth s**t…and Im from the south..but there are alotta good lyricist down south where im from, but most of the good lyrisict are up top….hands down

    Hold on TIME THE FU.CK OUT. Now this list was who is the HOTTEST out right now not who is the best. You could make a legit argument is HOTTER than Mr. Knowles right now. Hell I do have to question why Eminem wasn’t on the list despite having the best selling rap album of the year out. But some of you people are getting who’s HOT confused with TALENT. Gucci Mane is way hotter than Nas right now but doesn’t have nearly the amount of talent. And to me it just seems like cats from the East be hatin casue the south is hot. NY has 3 of the biggest names in Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Puffy. What do they do? Jay-Z mainly pushed new RnB acts. The biggest rappers he signed happen to be Rick Ross and Jeezy. Both who probably will end up having a better career than Memphis Bleek. 50 Cent at one point was beefin with everybody from NY. And Puffy just puts out dumb a$$ reality shows while coming out with sum new RnB group. Ya’ll need to get ya’ll act together before ya’ll start to attack us.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/whatineednlife/ whatineednlife

    I agree with Sub-Negro. There’s a big difference between Talent and who’s Hot.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ljizzal/ ljizzal

    to me rap isn’t about all the money,cars,drugs and all the hoes you have,it’s about the talent, respect, and the amount of effort you put forward in to maintain your creditials.now a days ,rappers sometimes does give credit from credit earned neither do they nor have they studied their craft.all they only worry about their egos, which will eventaully lead to nowhere.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bolling_kaven/ bolling_kaven

    GUCCI BETTER THAN JAY Z AND NAS R U SERIOUS WAS U SMOKING WHEN U WROTE THAT IDK UR NAME BUT U KNOW WHO U R GUCCI AINT EVEN BETTER THAN JEEZY HOW CAN HE MATCH UP WITH JAY Z OR NAS I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING HALF THE TIME WHEN I LISTEN TO GUCCI NOT HATING JUST BEING REAL IF U WANNA BE A RAPPER AT LEAST MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND U AND U UNDERSTAND URSELF.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    @bolling_kaven if you are talking about me read what I said again and again if you must. There is a difference between being “HOT” and being “TALENTED”. I never said Gucci was better than Nas but he is hotter than Nas. Just I don’t feel as if Mr. Knowles is the hottest MC out there right now. Or if you still don’t get what i’m saying then I will break it down further. You can be the hottest team in the NFL and not be the best team in the NFL. The Titans were the HOTTEST team last year but they didn’t even win the Super Bowl now they suck. I hope you got all of that.

    EXACTLY ultramagnetic74! It was about the artistry not the money.

    I hear people say the south is the Capital of Hip Hop now. That’s true. That style is what’s “popular” right now, regardless of the reasons why. But remember, Capitals can move depending on where the governing body is. The capital of the U.S. used to be in Philly.

    HOWEVER, NYC is the Holy Land of Hip Hop. And Holy Lands never change. NYC is where it all started. It is Cradle of Hip Hop Civilization. To all the young buck southerners…RESPECT YOUR ELDERS! Maybe you’ll learn something.

    Chuck D while not the greatest rapper to ever touch the Mic (albeit one of the most influential of all time) has an opinion that is almost second to none. So I respect his opinion even if I dont agree with the direction it came from. Alienating the new generation of rap fans is not gonna help your cause. Unfortunately the same thing happened in the 90′s when Gangsta rap took over hip hop. we were called lame and not Hip Hop…so I can see the new generation’s need to defend new artists…what kills me though Is Gucci mane and lil wayne are from the last generation of rap fans. So I would feel they would understand more than everyone…it blows my mind, yet Wu said it best: Cash rules everything around me, including artistic integrity.

    This a little off topic but remember when black people used to be in bands? Played instruments? What happened to that though? I wasn’t born in the 70′s and pre 70′s but I heard rumors. And why do we look for a rapper to make an album to uplift a whole community? Isn’t that kind of backwards? I guess what we really want is beneficial substance to be cool again. Well..Some of us right?

    Capricorn,wat u said about Chuck D,well honestly that is the most ignorant s**t i’ve ever heard,the rap game to me now is sum what weak right now,because of the lack of talent,back in the ol skool days,if u weren’t lyrical,either two things happened,ya career never started or u fell off,lol its kind of funny though,nowadays u got niggas that are scared to battle another rapper.Not just because of the money, but in fear of not bein lyrical enough or gettin ate,and thats the big difference between rap now and rap then.just imagine if big l,2pac,and biggie where alive,alot of niggas wouldnt have ever blew up,i mean 50 cent,ja rule,gucci mane,plies,jay-z, and the list goes on, i dont know y people glorify jay-z so much,the dude really is trash,he now targets weak rappers like camron because he knows he will get ate again,if he goes at nas,cassidy,jadakiss,styles p or the game.same goes for lil wayne,thats y if u havent noticed he is signing lyrists like drake and nicky, because in fear of someone actually being more lyrical then he is. So to capricorn u might as well change ya name or just stop sayin dumb s**t because i am a capricorn too and u just made us look foolish by comparin the excellence to a retard like gucci.Now sum of u who read this comment u might think im crazy for dissin sum down south rappers and im from there but i just like lyrical rappers, like Ti,Andre 3000,Mjg,Scarface,Ludacris,Webbie,jeezy,and bun b

    theres a difference between a lyricist and a commercial rapper. gucci is commercial. he makes you dance. thats it. his music has nothing behind it. yea he came from the ghetto.. blah blah blah, and so did every one else. chuck d is one of the reasons why these so-called “lyricists” these days are able to dance around in their skinny jeans wearing 10 chains on their necks. personally, i dont like all these young “ARTIST” and thats exactly what they are.. cartoons. what happened to music people actually felt and understood?

    Hip Hop is about life and Gucci isn’t he’s just a Cat the Hat Rapper,who brags to the dumb and blind followers.As long as there’s radio robots…Hell yes,the money is gonna keep coming,cause of the programmed robots who listen to his dumb ass.

    Chuck D may have not been the best lyricist but he had sumthin real to say about life. This gucci mane character is the same old B.S. that has destroyed hip hop. When you have to bragg about those diamonds that have, that only tell me that you’re not use to nothing and you want have them for long. I thought hip hop would have gotten smarter over the years but it seems like its just keep getting dumber. Most of these guys in the game today sound like they mildly retarded with their speech and slurs. The dumb retarded sound is so popular that artist like Plies have to fake the sound to sell. WTF
