Radric Davis, who goes by the stage name “Gucci Mane,” was born on February 2, 1980 in Birmingham, Alabama, but moved to East Atlanta Georgia; Zone 6. Radric chose his stage-name “Gucci mane” based off his father’s nickname “Gucci Man,” who was a hustler. He had been living with a single mother and first began recording music at the young age of fourteen years. Though Gucci had really loved to write poetry at a young age, he had gotten especially excited and passionate about creating rap music after seeing artists like Big Daddy Kane achieve success.
He formerly worked with Big Cat Records who provided him with studio time and helped release his records. Big Cat discovered Gucci while they were doing time in jail together. Gucci let loose a crazy freestyle and Big Cat understood that he had a lot of talent. They started by promoting his single “Black Tee,” which garnered Gucci a lot of attention from radio stations and club DJ’s.
He even got a lot of calls from record labels hoping to sign him. Even though Radric “Gucci Mane” Davis has parted with Big Cat, he still respects the studio time, hustle, and stardom that was achieved together. Since moving on from Big Cat Records, Gucci has developed his own lineup of artists affiliated with his self-established “So Icey Entertainment” label that include: OJ Da Juiceman, Zaytoven, Wooh Da Kid, Frenchie, Waka Flocka Flame, and Chilla Pertilla.
Gucci has not had an easy time staying free of legal trouble throughout his rap career. On the date of May 10, 2005, men tried to attack Gucci and steal his trademark So Icey chain. The men trying to steal Gucci’s chain were quickly shot at by Gucci’s clique out of self-defense. It only took a few short days before people found out that there was an arrest warrant that had been issued for Gucci Mane.
Gucci Mane ended up turning himself into police investigators on May 19, 2005. Around the date of December 30, 2005, police let people know that there was not enough evidence to form a case against Gucci for a murder charge. Gucci Mane was however not done with his legal trouble. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for possession of marijuana and having an unlicensed gun on the exact day before that his debut album “Trap House” was scheduled to be released.
The police department of Georgia dropped the charges against Gucci Mane in January 2006 because they didn’t have solid evidence to prove him guilty. He left prison that same month on charges that were unrelated. A couple years later on July 23, 2008, Gucci was pulled over by officers just outside of the Atlanta area during a scheduled traffic stop. The police found that marijuana was in his car and he faced the drug charges.
On September 14, 2008, Gucci faced on year in jail because he violated the terms of his probation. After the violation of probation, he did time for over one year in jail. The police reported that Gucci did not do enough community service to get himself out of the situation. In 2009, Gucci Mane was finally released from jail after what seemed to be too long of a wait for his fans. Ever since getting freed, Gucci Mane has collaborated with superstar musicians like Mario, Mariah Carey, and Lil Wayne. He has also released the mixtape “Writing On The Wall” with his in-house So Icey Entertainment producer, Zaytoven.
As of 2009, Gucci Mane is preparing to release a new album for his fans. His mixtape buzz actually grew during the recent year that he spent in jail for the probation violation. He is set to be releasing a new mixtape called “Guccitendo” as well as another official mixtape called “Guccimania” which will have some of his hottest singles. He is currently affiliated and signed with Warner Bros. Records and is promoting his “So Icey Entertainment” label as well. Due to the fact that Gucci Mane has a work-ethic that is unparalleled right now in the game, he will continue to gain popularity and appeal to a wider range of audiences.
In case you didn’t already know, Gucci Mane chains are some of the most iced out in the game. When it comes to buying jewelry, he does not buy anything that is fake because he is not a fake artist. Most artists like to show off their jewelry, but a lot of them are not rocking real diamonds in their watches, necklaces, or earrings. When it comes to making good music, you already know that Gucci Mane has the game on lock down. When it comes to Gucci Mane’s chains, you know that he is going to have the best and is going to out-do any other artist when it comes to being “icy.” After all, his entertainment label isn’t called “So Icey Entertainment” without good reasoning behind the name.
He has had a long history of purchasing new chains in order to reflect how he is feeling at the time. Even though nobody is sure how many chains he has or how many he is going to buy in the future, there are some that you should know about if you are a Gucci Mane fan.
The most popular Gucci Mane chains include:
1. Iced Out Bart – This chain is basically Bart Simpson with a lot of diamonds. If you are a fan of the show The Simpsons, then you probably already knew who this was around Gucci’s neck. He was absolutely silly with this chain and it still is easily one of the dopest chains that any rapper has in the game. Gucci always tries to be different and unique in his selection of jewelry and this proved it.
2. The Odie (Garfield Dog) – Nobody expected Gucci to go out and get an iced-out Odie dog chain. If you are familiar with the comic “Garfield” then you will definitely be able to recognize the dog named “Odie” that is featured on this chain. Some people consider this to be their favorite chain of his. In any matter, it is one of the most high quality chains that you will ever find.
3. 1017 Brick Squad Highway – The reason that he got this particular chain was to represent the new branch of his record label called “1017 Brick Squad.” He has multiple chains in the shape of a highway sign that have the numbers “1017” imprinted on them. Overall, they are high quality. Most people really like to see him wear these chains. He has one with red diamonds in the background and regular diamonds of “1017” and the other with regular diamonds in the background with red diamonds of “1017.” Both are some of the illest customized chains that you will find.
4. Da Hood Luv Me – Everybody knows that Gucci Mane gets a lot of love from people in the hood. Whether it’s Zone 6 east Atlanta or Washington D.C. – people are going to show him love wherever he goes. For this reason, he purchased a chain in the shape of a heart with an arrow going through it. On the actual chain, people can read the words “Da Hood Luv Me.” This is definitely another nice piece of jewelry that he added to his collection.
5. So Icey Frisbee – The So Icey Frisbee is basically another chain that is in the shape of a giant Frisbee. It is bigger than most of his other chains (as well as the chains of other artists in the game). There is really no competition with this one – because it is larger than your average dinner plate. As you know, there are a lot of diamonds in this chain and it looks like he is wearing a very iced-out Frisbee around his neck.
6. Big Cat La Flare – When he went to work with Big Cat Records (back in the day), the Gucci Mane chain that was bought was the Big Cat La Flare chain. This chain looks pretty dope because it is a fat cat holding up a yellow circle of jewelry that says “Gucci Mane.” Even though he is no longer affiliated with this record label, it was an important step on his journey to success. The chain resembles and symbolizes this particular period in his artistic adventures.
7. O.G. So Icey – The final major chain that most people have heard of is the “O.G. So Icey” chain. This chain is not particularly large, and is actually modest compared to his others. With that being said, it is still one heck of an icy chain with some very unique lettering styles. Even though he most definitely wears his other chains on a more consistent basis than this one, you can still find him wearing this from time to time.
When people say that they heard some Stupid lyrics they are probably referring to the song that has appeared on at least three different Gucci Mane mixtapes. The track is also spelled Stoopid in some cases and features slight changes in production among the projects, although they all were produced by Zaytoven. Specifically, the version that is accompanied by a music video and is on the album Murder Was The Case, is higher quality, sped up slightly, and the production is enhanced; many people agree that it sounds better.
