Gucci Mane Sentenced To A Year in Prison

[woof]

MTV reports:

Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in prison on Thursday (November 12) for probation violation and taken away to prison in handcuffs, according to a rep from his label.

The sentence is a blow to Gucci's career. The ATL rapper has a album coming out — The State Vs. Radrick Davis — on December 8 and is arguably at the height of his career; in terms of his sentence, he may be out of prison in six months. Last September, Gucci went to jail and served until March; he was sentenced to a year in prison for failing to fulfill his court-ordered 600 hours of community service, which had been mandated in 2005.

"It was a challenge for me," he told MTV News in March about going to jail in 2008. "I'm just happy my team kept my music going strong for me. And I'm happy I recorded so many records so people could hear me."

Upon his release Gucci went straight to the studio and recorded five songs. " Then I had a party later that night to get ready for, so that took up most of my day right there," he added, describing his first day as a free man.

This year, Gucci definitely was breaking through the mainstream from the streets to the mainstream, guest appearing on tracks for the Black Eyed Peas, Mario, Omarion, Mariah Carey and even a 50 Cent song. Gucci's current single is called "Spotlight" and features Usher. This follows on the heels of "Wasted," featuring Plies.

true, I only heard he was going to schools and talking to kids but that's it... on the other hand, T.I. at the time was at his peak and so obviously the media was covering EVERYTHING that he was doing, Gucci on the other hand maybe could have been doing some things and it just never went into the news because at the time why would they care about a rapper who isn't on the level of a T.I. or a Lil' Wayne... none of us know the deal, but regardless not completing the hours is fucking stupid and it was some dumb shit, especially because of how he was just starting to be in his prime career wise

either way once he gets out he's gonna have that $$$ and he'll be set again, that is until the next time he fucks up and it wouldn't surprise me if he did lol

I heard Gucci only did 25 hours service since his sentence whereas T.I. did over 1000 in a year lol, don't quote me on those figures though
