North Carolina A&T Cancels Gucci Mane Concert

An upcoming performance at North Carolina A&T featuring Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane is drawing criticism from students and faculty members.

Gucci will be performing with artists Fabolous, Trey Songz, Keri Hilson and OJ Da Juiceman.

According to the News & Record, students have been complaining to officials about Gucci’s alleged gang ties and the reflection his appearance could have on the school.

“We are reviewing our options right now,” Chancellor Harold Martin said yesterday (September 30). “We are trying to determine if this artist can be replaced under the existing contract, how that would be done, what the fiscal result would be.”

    I’m an A&T Alumni and I guess I just kinda have mixed feelings about the whole issue at hand. I can see their point and all, however, they invited him! I mean…suddenly everyone has had this epiphany and realize he’s in a gang? I personally dont care if he performs or not consider the fact that only freshmen and locals go to the concert anyway. Since they’ve already booked him and they sold like 6000 tickets already and there’s still a month to go before the performance…let the people have what they paid for. He’s the headliner…they bought tickets to see Gucci Man…so hey, give the people what they were promised.

    Thats whats up…A&T (Aggies) is a great college…I’ve been there more than a few times. I think what the protest shows is how black culture is moving away from gangs and violence. I personally think Gucci is terrible as a rapper. To me he will always be a local artist. But yeah moving away from violence…you gotta love the next generation of black men and women.

    does it really matter…gucci mane gettin money with or without they ass…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsBeauty5/ MsBeauty5

    Im cool with Gucci and I think that At&T is lame as hell for this, It shouldnt matter because alot of people like his music. Yall didnt have a problem with Lil Wayne and he claims that he is a blood.Haha you mine as well tell OJ that he cant perform either. Stop judging people its like a disease. But its ok he will make his money without performing there anyways. East Atlanta Zone 6

    actually, they do have a problem with OJ performing. a friend of mine that goes to a&t sent me this article: http://www.wxii12.com/news/21090173/detail.html. it’s a little more informative than this article

    ok ok ok

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

    Seems that it’s ok for A NON-Blood (Lil Wayne) to proklaim his affiliation which in turn teaches the youth that it’s ok to pretend to be in a gang.

    But you want to silence a real G who does not keep his lifestyle hidden.
    A person who has always maintained his affiliation and who has not shamelessly attacked others with violence.

    I think this is simply wrong when in the past this skhool has allowed Krips to perform.

    A Krip who openly showckased the I3ITCH walk…I mean Krip walk in publik in front of all those children.

    HOW VERY WRONG THIS IS!

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

    aside of wat this is about…all rappers are rappin bout the same thing so i really dont see why just gucci but alright

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

    HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK PURCHASED TICKETS TO SEE THE G PERFORM.
    HOW MANY REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS DO YOU THINK WILL KOME AFTER THIS?

    THE STUDENTS SELEKTED WHO THEY WANTED TO SEE AND THE SKHOOL APPROVED THE ARTIST.

    NOW THEY WANNA PULL BACK AND REMOVE CERTAIN PERFORMERS…

    THAT’S A B***H MOVE!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MzThick_n_Juicy663/ MzThick_n_Juicy663

    Well, SteadyStreamOfIncome, you said the students selected who they wanted and the school approved the artist, but it says that the SCHOOL selected him and the STUDENTS do not want him there

    Gucci’s a b!tch…
    “Why?” u might ask?
    heres why.

    GUcci came to my city to perform and was afraid of to go on stage becuase{gasp} the n!ggas was toooooo rowdy!!! throw they sets up and everythang.
    He was heard sayin”Im not goin out there wit my chain, mane. naw..”

    ran out, performed for 15mins. ran on the tour bus.

    came back 2months later.

    didnt have his chain

    performed for 15mins. dipped out.

    p.s. Lil Wayne did the same thing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SheShe88/ SheShe88

    in other words, Gucci is only wearing the uniform of someone dangerous. He’s Harmlesss!!!!!!!!!

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

    Good they canceled the show, many other rappers need to be vilified and put on display as the true sellout Stepin’ Fetch coons they are. They preach violence, hatred of women, materialism, degenerate behavior, and black on black militancy.

    NOT all rappers are bad. NOR are they the initial cause of many of the issues that blacks face, however they fan the flames of our problems. Hence i am all for the banning, the marching, the radio/video black balling of these sellouts who have sold out their community for nothing more than money and fame.

    I can never understand what he’s saying anyway. His album should be called “Very First Sound I Make In The Morning”

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

    They trippin, Is Gucci Gonna jump out in the crowd and beat each and every one of them up one by one. What are they scarred of? I guess they would do the same Thing if Lil Wayne showed up. Maybe they should just have a concert with Micheal Bolton,Tom Jones,and Vanilla Ice.

    WOW this is interesting because he supposed to perform at our(VSU) homecoming on Halloween and I wonder if this is gonna change anything for us(not that I was going pay to just to hear him “yeaaaahhh” and juice “aye aye well daym OK” for 2 hours) but who knows maybe they wanted something other then what the masses deem to be in right now you can’t call them lame for speaking they mind.And as far as the Blood-Crip statement from earlier, I’m no gang member but at the same time I do understand that some people are in them for reasons deeper then rap(whether I agree or not) BUT you do have to admit and recognize that ever since Wayne decided that he was a blood there has been this crazy increase in the number of wannabe gangsters and internet thugs that just don’t know how to act. ***BE CLEAR ABOUT MY PREVIOUS STATEMENT IF YOU A REAL CERTIFIED G WHO WAS DOING IT BEFORE IT GOT HOT IN RAP I’M NOT TALKING TO YOU SO DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME CURSING OUT MY COMMENT, THAT WAS FOR ALL THE WANNABES AND POSERS THAT I KNOW YA’LL SEE TOO*** Since he’s SOOOO paid I’m sure it won’t bother him so fans need hop of his sac and move on I’m sure he has……. I wonder if they kept FAB Trey and Keri???

    How about don’t have a concert at all and focus on education. Most of the rappers are young and dumb anyway with millions of young people, mostly blacks trying to follow in their footsteps. Hip Hop artist don’t even realize how much power and influence they have over this so called new generation, they would rather get pimped by the record labels just for a few cents or maybe dollars off each record sold. If the people on this site defends the lyrics and message that most rappers, but not all are sending why don’t they actually buy their music instead of burning the garbage on disc. And the funny thing is when some one says something about these dumb ass rappers, they are labeled as haters. Im glad to see the students at this college starting to stand up and trying to get rid of this negative image that us Black folk have over our head. Now watch somebody post something like “Who cares as long as they getting money” lol. Hell, people that get unemployment checks get money. These rappers are not getting so called money, the money is getting them.

    Um…Urban Daily…they didn’t cancel the concert at all because of the contracts, A&T simply removed their name from the concert. So instead of it being advertised as A&T’s Homecoming concert…it’s just the “Swagged Out Tour”…or whatever they’re calling it. It’s still on Halloween night (after the A&T Homecomeing game) and most people will still affiliate the concert with the weekend’s festivities but I guess for all practical purposes…it’s no longer A&T’s homecoming concert.

    PEOPLE!!!!! HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE

    This was an action of the school’s contribution to SAVE HIP HOP.

    good job… i am so proud.. i got a long list of wack rappers i want banned. maybe if i register at all of these colleges and get on all the boards i can help save hip hop too. god bless the 90′s

    It’s a damn shame that people judge a man because of his background… Violence is everywhere u go,as well as gang members. This s**t pissed me off because to me school officials are targeting someone that has absolutely nothing to do with what goes on at this school or anywhere else. He signed a contract to perform not promote violence. They want to expose the bad one has done but not the good…as u see they wont explain the two deaths that happened at their school…can anyone explain why? Knowing them they probably blamed 50cent for that.

    I think I am more upset that the student voted to have this horrible rapper come to there school. Gucci and OJ are whats setting rap back. They have no talent and people like this trash. WOW

    Question, what the hell are they going to do with there gang-related students??? Oh and before you speak on it there are wankstas all over that campus.

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

    FIRST OF ALL A&T IS A HBCU. ALL ACROSS AMERICA THAT MEANS COLLEGE LOCATED CLOSE TO A HOOD,GHETTO,TRAP,GANG TURF,CRACK HEADS,AND ALL OTHER THINGS WE KNOW ARE BAD IN OUR SOCIETY. COLLEGES ARE ABOUT HIGHER LEARNING AND BECOME MORE OR BETTER WHEN YOU LEAVE THAN WHEN YOU FIRST GET THERE. THEY SAY A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE, SO THE YOUNG BROTHER PUTS HIS THOUGHTS ON PAPER TO MAKE A BETTER WAY; NOW WE ARE GOING TO HOLD HIM BACK BECAUSE HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE APART OF A GANG. THE QUESTION IS NOT IF HE IS IN A GANG, BUT WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING IF HE WAS NOT RAPPING? HAVE WE BECOME SO HIGH AND MIGHTY AS BLACK PEOPLE THAT WE THROW AWAY A BROTHER BECAUSE HE HAS FLAWS. IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN A&T SHOULD CLOSE THEIR DOORS BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT HAS A PROBLEM OR PROBLEMED PAST, THE SAME GOES FOR THE STAFF. IT IS A PLACE OF LEARNING…SO WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT GIVE THE STUDENTS? IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE DOES WRONG YOU JUST CUT THEM OFF AND TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM. VERY SAD DAY FOR HBCUS
