You judge a tree by its fruit. He’s accountable for who he signs.

It’s different for one because Gucci is hands-on label figurehead. He goes out of his way to CONSISTENTLY sign crash dummies. With no real strict structure around them, they’re gonna crash out.

Name me one success story out of 1017.

Remember, Gucci did foolish stuff like shoot a video with Foogiano after he burned his ankle bracelet and was on the run


Then he released a video taunting the police while Foogiano was doing the race. This video was a big reason he got sentenced to 5 yrs


Remember that Gucci was locked up for much of the success of OJ, Waka & Nicki. Debra Antney was actually the one who handled the Brick Squad artists.

Gucci by himself as a CEO has honestly been a failure and the only one who had any real success was Pooh Shiesty, and we see where he is now.

And his other artists from Memphis are all literally out on bond for murder and other recent felonies:

Mac Critter

Kato 2X

FTO Sett


Other artists are nowhere to be found
Big Walkdog
Bic Fizzle
TLE Cinco
Brezden

Li Rye has been getting into all kinds of street altercations🤦🏾‍♂️



Let’s not even get into the older 1017 artists like Hoodrich Pablo Juan locked up

Waka’s mom has had a ton of artists accuse her of stealing/ bad business
It’s the reason why Waka don’t fw a lot of those BSM dudes

Hip hop the only genre where mfs always tryna blame everybody else for an individual’s actions
From what I understand she was close to Big Scarr
So your close friend ODs off a fake perc and you turn around and do the same shyt? Cmon now, you can get fent test kits and Narcan for less than $40 an Amazon
What if Gucci offers to put these guys in rehab, encourages them to stay out of trouble and they don’t listen? What then?
He’s giving these guys the same chance he had, some of these dudes like Pooh would probably be dead in their city without signing that deal
I don’t think Gucci is a good CEO for the record, but if he’s signing criminals and drug addicts it’s just common sense that a record deal isn’t gonna change them. I don’t see how you can blame him for giving them a shot though

Algorithm doing it's thing and it showed me a short of her singing. I have a question.
Why the fukk was she pushed so heavily as a rapper? Everyone in her corner, including Gucci, fumbled hard on pushing the rapping shyt over the singing.

All the dumb ass tats = lets shop her as a whore.

Chick was petite and natural, if she had a clean image could have had a whole lane to her self pushing products to suburban girls.

Ehh, Kehlani looks dirty as hell and still managed to blow singing. Gucci and company probably didnt want to invest in the singing route and went the cheapest route with the rap whore shyt. Another short she rapping/talking about pimping and pushing P :dahell:
Singing shouldve been her lane, but Gucci probably didnt want to deal with getting writers and shyt to make her pop. :francis:

Gucci prob just pays for a studio and lets folks sink or swim. Artist Development is a lost art. Take Teyana Taylor for example, she is one of them folks who had been developed since a kid, but now being that the industry has changed folks aren't looking to develop someone just for them to not pan out so it's sink or swim and if you do blow then they put everything behind you. Look at Cardi B now, a proper team would have that bytch churning out manufactured stuff.
