The New York Times bestselling memoir from legendary rapper Gucci Mane spares no detail in this “cautionary tale that ends in triumph” (GQ).
For the first time, Gucci Mane tells his extraordinary life story in his own words. It’s “as wild, unpredictable, and fascinating as the man himself” (Complex).
The platinum-selling trap pioneer began writing this remarkable autobiography while serving time in a federal maximum-security prison. When he was released in 2016, he emerged transformed—sober, focused, and creatively reinvigorated.
A critically acclaimed classic in hip hop literature, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane offers raw insight into the volatile rise, fall, and rise again of one of the most influential artists in modern rap. It’s a compelling story of addiction, fame, incarceration, and redemption that “provides incredible insight into one of the most influential rappers of the last decade...By the end, every reader will have a greater understanding of Gucci Mane, the man and the musician” (Pitchfork).
Customer Reviews
Amazing
If you’re a fan of Gucci Mane you’ll love this book, I was hooked from the first page to the last!
All 400 pages in one day
I am going to be singing the praises of this book for a while. There is no memoir/biography I’ve ever read that can match the vivid storytelling done here. I knew some basic trivia about Gucci going in. His voice is present in many memories of my youth, as I think it is for most of us who grew up in the Southeast in the 00s/10s. After reaching the last page, I was sad it was over. I wanted to stay with the person who I’d been with on this wild, shocking, & oftentimes terrifying, journey. Its almost as if I was really there too: on the streets of East ATL, in the apartments & on the planes, experiencing the drug-induced manic episodes & paranoia, hearing the beats become songs in recording studios, several times in/out the swinging door of county jails, until finally landing in max security prison. He took me with him the whole way today. I can’t say enough good things, but what a life, & what an absolute legend.
