Summary

Autobiography of Gucci Mane by Neil Martinez-Belkin is an autobiography of the famous rapper Gucci Mane. Gucci wrote his memoirs in federal prison where he was sentenced which was from May 2014 to 2016. He used simple and conversational English and took help of the author Neil Martinez - Belkin to explain his life and difficult upbringing to reaching the heights of the music industry. The audiobook maintains a fine balance between showcasing Gucci’s talents and achievements, facts about his business life and guiding the readers through his journey. Gucci Mane narrates his story in his own words. It is the story of the life of an artist who transformed himself. Post his release from the prison, he completely transformed himself and became sober, focused and positive, unlike his earlier self.

Gucci grew up in the small town of Bessemer, Alabama and the crime infected streets of East Atlanta. He quickly explored and understood the realities of poverty in America at a young age. Gucci’s parents were not together and they did not have a steady income. This led him to sell drugs along with his brother Victor. He started selling marijuana with his brother and later turned to sell cocaine alone. Mental illness, money and violent behavior landed him into judicial custody for many years of his young adult life. The autobiography does not glorify Gucci, rather it is in the vein of a cautionary tale about drugs and violence and how it affects normal people’s lives.
