Most people have never heard of Radric Davis, but almost everyone knows him by his rapper alias, Gucci Mane. His first studio album hit shelves in 2005 and had a few successful follow-ups, but what hip hop fans really cannot stop talking about are the amazing Gucci Mane mixtapes. They are just a part of what has made this rapper a staple in the world of American hip hop.

One of the reasons Gucci Mane has had so much success with his mixtapes is that he is able to collaborate with some of the hottest names in hip hop.

These amazing collaborations let everyone know that Gucci Mane is not only loved by fans, but respected by his peers in the hip hop world.

In 2005, while serving a jail term for assault charges, Gucci Mane was charged with murder. The charges were eventually dropped and the incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it built up a lot of hype for one of his most successful mixtapes, Writing On The Wall. The mixtape was made up of completely new music and featured collaborations with artists such as Piles, Juelz Santana and Shawty Lo.

In addition to his mixtapes, Gucci Mane has had a great deal of success with his many studio albums. His 2007 release, Back to the Trap House featured a remix of his hit Freaky Gurl, which featured Lil Kim and Ludacris. He has also appeared on hit songs for a number of big stars, including remixes for Black Eyed Peas and Mariah Carrey.

Anyone who listens to popular music on the radio has heard a Gucci Mane song.
