Gucci Mane recently opened his big mouth about Jay-Z being named MTV’s Hottest MC in the Game. Gucci was named Number 6 (which we think is generous) and he didn’t agree with that. Chuck D stopped by AllHipHop last week and added his two cents. In short: Gucci need be sittin down. “Jay-Z’s just getting started,” Chuck D said. “Gucci Mane, he’d be better off jumping in a swimming pool with a plugged in toaster.” He then went on to clarify and, because we agree with it whole-heartedly, here’s the statement in full:

“It’s my outside third party opinion. Gucci Mane can probably raps circles around my old ass …but er…not Jay-Z. Sorry. I’m pretty sure Gucci Mane is a fine young man, but as far as getting in the ring with Jay-Z in any RAP way…I don’t see it. Nothing personal. But
er… NO. Well, I’m sure that Gucci Mane is still looking for JAY-Z to respond. It’s what he wanted. He should. Again that’s the up and coming challenger throwing a egg at Floyd Mayweather. I’m just a fan of it all in the seats. Gucci Mane is fun and all but… Jay-Z is a martial artist with this s**t.”

Gucci Mane’s enjoying a steady increase in press, putting his name and signature “Burr” catch phrase in the ears of people nationwide. After landing at number six on the list of ‘Top Ten MCs’, the ‘So Icey One’s’ been in overdrive dropping his Burrprint (The Movie 3-D) mixtape and taking shots at Jay-Z.

Now Gucc has done it again, announcing that he’s doing an unprecedented feat and dropping three mixtapes in one day. That’s right, three. For the special occasion, Gucci enlisted the help of three of the South’s biggest DJs. Lending their ears, talents and blending to the project are his always reliable affiliate; DJ Drama as well as DJ Scream and DJ Holiday.

DJ Drama spoke to MTV’s Mixtape Daily about the situation Thursday. Giving only shady details, Mr. Thanksgiving calmly stated,
“People need to be near a computer on 10/17 at 10:17 p.m. — DJ Drama, DJ Scream and DJ Holiday, The Cold War, a three-part series, three tapes, very worldly. It’ll definitely make sense. Look for some big records on there. “
Now the shroud of secrecy’s been blown and details are emerging.

DJ Holiday confirmed the release of Gucci’s Cold War to the network saying,
“Gucci wants to flood the streets, takeover. The mixtape is called The Cold War, and it’ll be a three-part series, Gucci America, Burr Britain and Burr Russia. They’re droppin’ Saturday at 10:17 p.m.”

Also according to Holiday, the 10/17 references are in tribute to the apartment building where Gucci grew up as well as the title of his new album.
HipHopWired’s veteran DJ of the week, DJ Scream, added his input to the conversation. He told MTV that while he helped with the project, his interaction with the MC was limited. Instead he added his skills to The Cold War through Warner Music Group’s Coach K.

“Me and Gucci ain’t really ran into each other since he got out, I got a phone call out of the blue. Actually [it was from Warner Music's] Coach K, like, ‘You ready to work?’ I said, ‘Of course.’ We got up, and I did my part.”
Holiday is on Burr Russia, Scream is on Burr Britain and Drama’s on Gucci America.
Damn, three mixtapes in one day?!
Jeezy where u at?

Officials at North Carolina A&T are removing the university’s name from a homecoming concert starring Gucci Mane. Some students had complained about Gucci’s lyrics and his gang affiliation. The Halloween night homecoming concert will go ahead as planned, but North Carolina A&T will not officially support or be associated with the event.

The University Chancellor stated, “We have agreed with the promoter to remove the name of North Carolina A&T State University from the event. While this does not absolve us of our connection to the event, it allows us, within our limited options, to take a moral stand while we simultaneously honor our legal obligations.”

The Chancellor went on to say, “The headliners booked for our student concert have generated dissonance among our student leaders and our constituents. This dissonance has provoked internal discussion and policy reviews which are both necessary and welcomed and which will undoubtedly make us better as a university community.”

In addition to Gucci Mane, North Carolina A&T’s homecoming concert will also feature Fabolous, Trey Songz, Keri Hilson and by OJ Da Juiceman.
