Yesterday was Guwop Day, and to celebrate, Gucci Mane addressed his fans in a handwritten note.
“Dear Fans,” he writes, “If someone asked me to describe who I am? I would say simply I am a MAN. I am a man that makes mistakes, I am a man that takes pride in getting back up anytime I fall. I am not the typical entertainer.”

“… The difference between me and the average entertainer,” he explains, “is they dream of signing to a major label so they can have this giant machine push them and propel them to stardom, but I don’t have that dream. My reality is I am all I got. I am the machine behind me. … I am a machine called Gucci/ Some call me Gwuop but they should call me THE MACHINE.”
Ummm…ok.
