Parents Upset Over Gucci Mane Being Career Day Guest Speaker

Last week, Gucci Mane was picked to make an appearance at an Atlanta middle school's career day as a guest speaker. Parents and alumni of the school are enraged over the school's choice in speakers, and questioned the thought process that went into having La Flare speak to the children.

"How do you justify bringing someone who is not even at the top of his game in the rap industry, who has a rap sheet because he's been in so much legal trouble?" asked former student Leisle Moody.

Gucci has been in jail twice since 2008, most recently for pushing a woman out of a moving car.

"I don't think he was such a good role model. They could have selected another individual," said parent Kevin Hall.

Do you think Gucci Mane was an appropriate speaker for an Atlanta middle school?

Beyond Popular belief radric davis is one of the most successful rap artist in the trap genre. Not only does he never need an air conditioning system in southern states due to his Ice cream cone Tattoo, but his stomach is the size of 2 watermelons. To add to that Kush is his cologne and he's valued at over 10 million dollars. He can be found in East Atlanta zone 6 rapping pursuing his dream and continuing to utilize his PhD in Traponomics.

Another Case of Racism In The Georgia Schools. I Noticed Its Been A Bunch of White Woman/ Men Having A Problem With Gucci Attending The School. I Give Him Respect Because He Didnt Walk In Their With A Gold Grill & All His Ice. He Kept It Normal. That's Real! Everybody Can Hate All They Want I Dont See Jeezy, Jay Z, T.I., KANYE, Wiz, Drake, & Wayne Speaking To Kids. I Think It's Cool That's Kid Still Have Enough Sense In Them To Tell What Real Hip Hop Is Vs. Mainstream Pop Music HipHop With Rappers That Tells Lies In Their Rap. I Would Let My Kid See Gucci For Carrer Day Because I Know He Wouldn't Put Them In Danger. That's The Reality of It. To Many People Are So Messed Up. Y'all Act Like Jerry Sandusky Came To Visit!

Gucci Mane Is Still A Rapper unlike KANYE & COMMON. Who's More Relievent In The Game Right Now? Gucci, Common, or KANYE. KANYE Has Put Work Out. But Gucci Is On His Grind. I Grew Up Listening To KANYE & COMMON. But Growing Up COMMON & KANYE Became Irravelent. All The Teens Even Adults Gravitated To More Gucci, Flocka, Tyga, Drake, Wayne, & Nicki. That's Just How It Is. It's Not Me It's Society.

Perplexing. No town should shit on its own people. Yes Gucci comes off as an idiot and uneducated, but he is from Atlanta, rich, a product of the Atlanta schools, and has a job with a story to tell. In fact, if he kept it real, he would tell the kids to stay away from entertainment because the pay is not consistent. Think big and not small
