5 Reasons Why Gucci Mane Should Be Booked for Morehouse's 2016 Homecoming

1. Gucci Mane is the quintessential representation of a renaissance man that has morally transcended many other rappers in the trap rap field of hip-hop.


Gucci has decided to change his life, give up on drugs and unhealthy life style choices, encouraged and empowered women in all fields of humanity, and most importantly shown the black community that change is possible, attainable, and better for our overall personal development. Gucci is one of very few rapper that has spoken about the complexities of lives of Black people in a way that expresses humility and genuineness that is truly authentic to his own personal lifestyle.


2. Trap Music is the center point of the southern Black community and should be embraced unapologetic by the people it was intended for, Black people.


Gucci Mane encourages and inspires Black people to be successful regardless of the racially oppressive and patriarchal boundaries that have been placed on men and women of color. Gucci is the spokesman for the concept of "Sauce" and this is something that all Black college students grapple with as the acquire their new positions in the black community as educators, doctors, lawyers, preachers, and engineers. He tell us not to get lost in the "sauce", this being a message to people who move up the social ladder and get consumed by material possessions and prestige.

3. Atlanta is the home of the AUC and the only historically black colleges in city of Atlanta therefore, who is more fit to embrace the true essence of Atlanta Hip Hop than Morehouse College?

The AUC has a very deep effect on the hip hop community even for before the "Freaknik Days" and that is tradition that we must continue.

4. Gucci Mane is a beacon of hope for many who come from his similar life style conditions.

Especially in the Atlanta area and that is something that resonates deeply with many African American students across the country current studying in college to better themselves, much like Gucci Mane did with his music.

5. Having a Trap Rap artist like Gucci Mane perform at our HBCU Family Reunion a.k.a Homecoming, will expose current students and alumni to a new sector of Black art.

6. It only right that "Da House" welcomes home one of Atlanta's biggest and most influential artist in the Atlanta Area. If we don't support our artist, who will?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
