She wore bangs with pink streaks and could go toe to toe with any rapper. Nicki was raw and very much hood, as she rapped songs like "Itty Bitty Piggy",this song became her signature song. Long before Nicki Minaj was selling out stadiums and selling millions of albums, she was a vicious rapper from New York just hoping for her big break, eventually she started working with Gucci Mane and they released popular songs like "Slumber Party" that blew up on Myspace around 2009. Not Guwop, he has always kept it real and 100. Many black artist have that pressure, and most of them have succumbed to it. In many ways, I applaud Gucci Mane for being one of the few artist who has decided he doesn't care to produce mainstream 'pop' songs. Do you think Gucci Mane cares? Not at all, he recognizes that he isn't mainstream due to not having a 'machine'. That scares many people, he doesn't have Katy Perry singing a hook and doesn't do electric beats, he is a trap rapper, the trap god. Something that is not relatable to the typical suburban kid. Why don't they like his music? Cause Gucci is raw, he talks about the streets of Zone 6 (Atlanta) and doing 'hood' things. Simply put, mainstream likes the image of Gucci Mane, but not his music.

I haven't heard a single Gucci Mane song on the radio since his 2010, but I have seen plenty #FreeGucci shirts and references. His #FreeGucci campaign made him a pop culture icon, but it didn't translate to his music success. He doesn't appeal to a wider audience due to his ruggedness. Yes, he has many fans and since his jail stint he has amassed even more, but the truth of the matter is Gucci Mane simply can not sell albums. You cant deny his focus is music, but the thing is Gucci Mane is a mixtape rapper.
