Trading Places…Jeezy & Gucci Edition
I remember when Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane teamed up for one of the biggest songs of 2005, “So Icy”, like everybody else I knew that Jeezy was the reason why the song was hot. Not too long after that a dispute over the rights to the song started a war between the two where Jeezy went for the jugular with “Stay Strapped” and sort of put a bounty out for Gucci’s chain. A murder charge and some jail time would be in Gucci’s future, fame and a couple of million albums sold would be in Jeezy’s. Now things are a bit different. Gucci has the streets on LOCK. Not just in Atlanta, but everywhere. He has the STREET equivalent buzz of Drake right now. Gucci is doing tracks with the Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, and Mariah Carey! Who would have ever thought he would be on a track with Mariah? Well, she did do a song with ODB. Jeezy used to be THAT guy that they called for those spots. Don’t get me wrong Jeezy is still a star in his own right, but this time around the shine is on Gucci. Check out Jeezy latest diss song “24 23″, where he takes at shots at Gucci and OJ. Doesn’t this seem like Jeezy is suffering from what was bothering Gucci…the SHINE. Why would someone of Jeezy’s caliber have to “release” a diss song about Gucci? I will tell you why, Jeezy now is Gucci then, and vice versa. Jeezy knows this, and he knows that he and Gucci have switched places. Those same streets that used to love Jeezy still love him, but not as much as they love Gucci. To be honest, I think Jeezy would rather have that hood love, but somehow he has gotten too popular for the hood. I thought releasing the Trappin aint Dead mixtape would restore the feeling, but it didn’t have the hoods on smash like your weekly Gucci mixtape, so it got swept under the rug. I don’t know what Jeezy can do now, but I know attacking someone because they are hot is NOT a good look for someone of your “stature”. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!
Haha… naw. They can’t trade til Gucci get some platinum plaques. Which will never happen!
u are wrong on this one no matter what the streets will always have more love for Jeezy, and Duh stupid Jeezy dissed him because Gucci dissed him first duh genious do your research
why niggas cant leave feedback without talkin shit?
But Jeezy had already murked this nigga…he shouldn’t even get involved with cats on his level. Kinda like T.I vs Shawty LO..What did T.I. have to gain from the situation. NOTHING.
But if he sat back and let gucci diss him (and yes gucci has been takin little shots at Jeezy) then he would lose respect and even be possibly called soft, and its not like Jeezy did a whole song about Gucci just a couple lines
Young Jeezy > gucci
Co – sign no matter what anyone says.
Please believe that I think Jeezy is better, but right now Gooch got that street love that Jeezy used to get.
Yea…i don’t think i can ride with you on this one. I’m not from ATL nor do i live there but i think that is the only place that listens to Gucci. I like him, not even fronting, his rhymes are funny as hell and catchy but, when it comes to him or Jeezy…at the end of the day Jeezy has more fans…and the shine.
You really believe that? LMBAOWSRUMA

“like everybody else I knew that Jeezy was the reason why the song was hot”
naw mayne, first off the song was hot cuz zaytiggy is a genius, then the hook wuz awsome, and hate it or love it, but gucci killed the 2. verse
Futuristic swagger is right! Jeezy didnt make “so icy” hot…. his verse was actually kinda wack… when the song used to come on in the club everybody said Gucci’s part “She diggin my fit, she think Im the shit”…. I cant speak for the rest of the country but Gucci got love in TN and GA all day long… Jeezy is kinda commercial now I aint sayin that he cant rap BUT Gucci seems to be more humorous and creative PLUS Gucci is just more believable… hell he murked Jeezys homeboy! STREET LOVE
Yall be sayin that shit like Gucci meant to kill that nigga… and that prolly wasn’t even nobody outta Jeezy crew.
King Jerm, what the fuck are you smoking? can i have some of whatever that is? ..
Too many niggas in here crying like bitches again!
hell yea
gucci got the better verse on so icy
and what song gucci on wit mariah?
what the hell is gucci’s appeal. I’d like someone the help me with that. And don’t tell me he got love from the streets, he’s got a fucking bart simpson chain, that should have shredded his ‘hood’ badge years ago.
mr jones that chain fresh as fuck
