Gucci Mane

 Gucci Mane's resume is extensive. As the founder of trap music, he's been defining the genre of rap since 2001, when he put out his first underground album: Str8 Drop Records Presents Gucci Mane La Flare. Since then, he has built a lengthy list of music-related accomplishments, including dozens of mixtapes, singles, collaborations, and eight studio albums.But before that it was he Radric Davis, a kid growing in Atlanta and watching his dad take advantage of people who were on the streets for money. "You know, he had all kinds of games and scams, such as three cards molly, shaking the pea, pigeon drop," Gucci Mane tells NPR's Ailsa Chan. "All of them were small scams he learned -- tricks he picked up on the streets."
