Its been nearly two years since Gucci Mane was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly conduct and marijuana possession, among other things. The Atlanta rapper has kept fans entertained with a slew of new music. but he recently took the time to write another letter from prison.
In the letter, which he sent in to XXL, GuWop commemorates the 10th anniversary of his debut album and reflects on some of his past decisions, including one that led to death.
As noted by the magazine's website, the letter is "completely unedited." Check it out in its entirety:
I dropped my 1st album Traphouse ten years ago May 2005 I remember being proud and angry the day it was released. I was proud of the work I put in and the quality of the project but I was angry that someone had to be killed over a dispute about the rights to some of the contents of the album. 10 years later I reflect on how that day impacted my life and my legacy and I am grateful for all the fans that supported me then and still support me now. Every challenge and obstacle in my life has helped me to become who I am today and provided me with the tests to display my resilience. I hope my life showed someone somewhere that if you endure the storm you will eventually get your chance to shine. I never give up and I have grown and learned so much and still am eager to learn more. I look forward to showing the world how much I have grown and getting out and helping my community. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a recording artist and help others get their chance to be heard. To my fans I love you all and I want you all to know I am motivated and will not let my past decide my future. I chose to not focus my attention on my negativities but on my dreams. I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling. My liabilties I turn to assets and even my inconsistincies make me the unique person I am. I am focused and I will be returning soon very soon so get ready. If I had to change anything in the last 10 years I would not change one thing. Sincerely Guwop!
its Guccciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gucci Mane first emerged on the mainstream scene with his hit single, "Icy," featuring Young Jeezy and Boo. There was a dispute over ownership of the song and a long standing beef between Gucci and Jeezy followed.
Around the time his album was released, Gucci Mane was ambushed and assaulted. During the scuffle, shots were fired and the Trap House rapper was charged with murder. The charges were later dropped on account of self-defense.
Last October, he wrote an open letter to fans in which he discussed sobriety and future plans while striving for "something greater."
