Lyrical Genius


I would like to take a minute to appreciate a lyrical masterpiece written by the great Gucci Mane, in 2006. I recently discovered this song not too long ago on a long car ride and it goes without saying that we replayed the song several times…and it quickly became someone’s new ring tone. The song I speak of is Gucci Mane’s “My Chain.” If you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing this song, take a second to read these lyrics and you might find yourself running to the nearest CD store to pick up a copy of the single (or not).

Some Highlights:
First Verse:
“My Chain Is Off The Chain”

Second verse:
“My Chain Hang To My Shoe String/
Like My Watch And Ring But I Know You Love My Chain/
My Chain Hang To My Ding-A-Ling/
I Do My Thug Thing When Im In The Club Mane”

(Note: its much better listening to it)

If your anything like me then the first thing that comes into your mind after you read this is…What the fuck was he thinking when he wrote that. Then shortly after that you think, who the fuck heard that and thought it would make for a good song. And then finally “what the fuck is the world coming to when shit like this is on the radio and selling in stores.”

Now it may not be fair to pick on Gucci Mane, because lets face it, there are copious amount of crap lyrics in rap music today. But for some reason these lyrics really hit home, as absolutely terrible. Anytime a grown man refers to his dick as a ding-a-ling, just for rhyming sake, I would say he and the song suck. Gucci Mane should get a court ordered restriction from coming within 200 yards of a studio or microphone, if he does anything like this again. Someone needs to put a stop to this, and if record companies don’t then I say the government should.

Note: I haven’t heard the rest of the CD, who knows it might be fantastic.

I cannot remember the name of the song right now, but he also has a song where he lists his best drug dealing attributes then compares them to atheletes. Like for example he talks about cooking crack and says he does it south paw he will michael vick it whip it.

Come on Mike, you know you love that fucking song. You made me play it seven times on that ride. But yeah, the lyrics are so awful that they're great.

This song is fairly rediculous
