This was a good listen. I don't know much about Gucci Mane except that he raps along to one of my favorite rap songs Freaky Gurl and has the ice cream tat on his face. It was interesting to hear about his life. I wish this had came out after his marriage to Keyshia Ka'oir because I wanted to read about how she flipped his money while he was locked up and why he didn't invite is mother and brother to their wedding. I really just wanted more mess. It was fun hearing about him mentoring and giving a chance to a lot of younger rappers like Migos and Young Thug. If you know someone who is addicted to lean, have them read the part about Gucci pooping and what the doctors told him. I'd never touch that stuff. I'm glad he stopped drinking that stuff because he looks good now.

I've been a fan of Gucci for a long time. This was a very entertaining and well written book. You get a peek into what made this man into the figure he is today. If you're into autobiographies and listen to Gucci, this should be on your bookshelf.

The actual writing of this story is often a little clunky - it’s co-authored technically, and sometimes it does feel like reading Frankenstein’s manuscript. The actual story, however, was fascinating, and I learned a lot about the life and career of an artist whose work I now appreciate more than ever. Worth a read!

This was an easy read that gives you a glimpse into the music industry in the south. While I was reading all of the history and incidents that led up to Gucci’s final incarceration I wondered why it felt a bit distant and detached, and hoped that it would end on a deeper note. My guess is that it’s tough for Gucci to go back and look at those dark times. But the book ended on such a great note, it really wrapped things up nicely and I appreciate that he was so open and honest about his accountability.
