WATCH: Rapper Gucci Mane Talks About Jail Drying Him Out Of The Drugs And Helping Him Get Rid Of Toxic People 

“Life in prison was… hell” 

Gucci Mane says in this video interview produced by The FADER and conducted shortly after the Atlanta rapper transitioned from maximum security prison to house arrest, where he’ll be until September. 

But after three years in jail, he is also three years sober.

“I was on drugs so bad, I talked different. When I was smoking damn near a pound of weed every other day, I was congested. When I was drinking lean like crazy every day, I was out of my mind.” 

Despite all the clone rumors, he says he’s not so much a different man as he is “a sober, more conscious Gucci.” 

Addressing the clone chatter directly, he adds:

 “It’s funny. I embrace it. A clone is, like, perfection. So if I look like a machine or a robot, then I’m doing something well.”

Rappers Snoop Dogg & The Game Meet With L.A. Gangs In Effort To Stop Violence

Hip-hop artist the Game urged gang members from across Southern California on Sunday morning to converge on a South Los Angeles community center for a town-hall style meeting about curbing violence. 

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, told the hundreds gathered for a town-hall style meeting at a South Los Angeles community center that he was pushing a positive message because one day, he hopes his daughter will be able to walk the streets “a little safer.”

He told the crowd:

Rapper Rick Ross Asks Georgia Judge For Immunity In Pistol Whip Case 

  

 Rapper Rick Ross and his manager Nadrian James were in court Wednesday asking for immunity from prosecution in his assault case, citing Georgia’s Stand Your Ground law.

Atlanta’s Channel 2 Action News:

The rapper, whose real name is William Roberts, and James were charged with assault, battery and kidnapping in the June 2015 incident. The two are accused of assaulting two employees who threw a party at Ross’ estate in Fayetteville, GA.

The two say the man wasn’t doing his job. James said a car was parked in the guesthouse driveway and no one was answering the door.

“I wanted to know what was going on and why he didn’t open the door after I was knocking for 10 minutes,” James said in court.

When James finally got inside, he told the court he saw a woman, a child, a shirtless man and another employee run out of the house. That’s when a fight broke out.

The two employees said the rapper pulled out a gun and pistol-whipped them, causing one of them to have a chipped tooth and an injured jaw. 
James said he never saw the rapper pull out a gun during the fight.
